Hi Russ, looks like a nice set up
Am I mistaken, or did I see that you are turning the coolant off for the finishing cut ?

Yes Andrew. We switch from coolant to an air blast to aid in chip evacuation from the deep holes to help prevent recutting.

So the question that has to be asked is why not get another Haas?
