Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Air mist coolant

For my milling machine I just finished designing a new tooling plate for
machining 5.7"X12 .062 alum panels and 6X10X .125 panels. While I was
designing the tooling plate I made a list of things that I wanted it to do
1. be able to drain the flood coolant from the tooling plate to the tee
slots.
2. be able to use the cam operated clamp nuts
3. be automatically aligned parallel to the x axis.
4. be easy to clamp to the tee nuts
5. be easy to clamp various flat sheets
Note that being able to drain the coolant was a prime consideration. The
open sides of the tooling plate will have a extruded plastic channel so I
can easily lay a piece of Plexiglas in the channel for spray control.
