Todays Project - What did you do today?

[Pete O]

I had to rearrange the coolant drain system to interact with the X axis DRO scale and reader. The original drain system on this mill is internal, some of you guys might remember I bypassed that with a hose a while ago- when I partially stripped this machine down to clean after buying it, the internal coolant drain channels were completely gunked up with a concretion of old coolant residue, also I run coolant to the mill from the tank of the lathe. Anyway my drain hose attachment was too fat to pass through the bracket of the DRO reader so I replaced it with a length of 15x30mm rectangular aluminium tube.
