First off this is NOT about spindle coolants, but cutting coolants.

I am about to venture into the world of non-ferrous metal… C260 Brass to be exact. I know not the best material but this is for Church and everything is already C260 so trying to stay the same.

I have an Elite Forman with 2.2 Kw spindle, ISO-30 tool holder and ATC, so that part is fairly solid. My wasteboard though is all MDF, so you can see where this is going.

I purchased a cheap Amazon “mist cooler” and will mount it to do at least air blast for chip clearing. There is the option of coolant flow… and I have heard of folks using alcohol, but there are risks.

What are you using? Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks I like that idea better than alcohol.
