Here are some free images from a milling job we did using a CNC milling machine with a face mill and strong alkaline ionized water.
When machining long workpieces, we use multiple vises to secure them in a row. This prevents chatter and warping, ensuring a clean cut. For this type of job, we use sharp tools and a coolant with high cooling properties.
For this specific process, we used strong alkaline ionized water as the cutting fluid. Its benefits as a coolant are as follows:
- Improved Tool Life: Its high permeability and excellent cooling properties reduce tool wear, allowing for higher cutting speeds.
- Easy Cleanup: Its superior cleaning power makes it easy to remove cutting fluid and chips after the job is done.
- Longer Shelf Life: With a high pH of around 12, it’s difficult for bacteria to multiply in the fluid, preventing it from spoiling and extending its replacement cycle.
