Did that replace an existing machine or did you manage to shoehorn it into your existing layout?  Also, when milling, were you running air/mist through the coolant lines?  I can see when you used flood coolant but other times I saw nothing but heard air.

This is a new addition to existing machines. We now have three vertical machining centers.

When drilling and tapping the machine coolant was being used.  When milling the coolant shuts off and the air blast is activated.  

Very nice machine.  Will be even better once we figure out the control and programming issues.  

Having run and programmed nothing but Haas machines for the last 13 years, there's a significant learning curve we're faced with, and I'm not liking it one bit!  LOL

Later,
