Mag drill cutting fluid

[Garreth]

Hi all !

I've got a Unibor mag drill at work - I apply cutting fluid manually from a bottle or aerosol.

I've noticed that quite a few of the newer machines have a cutting fluid bottle and applicator system attached.

I was just wondering if anyone could describe - or better still post a photo - of how the system works ? pipe sizes, how and where its applied etc. I'm going to try and rig up something similar for the Unibor.

Thanks in anticipation !

The one we have has a simple screw-top plastic bottle which has a small tap fixed intoi the bottle. A plastis pipe say 5mm ID p8ushes into this fitting then the other end pushes into a matching fitting which pumps coolant through into the middle of the broach. Its all very simple, i'll try to get a picture.
Only really works efficiently when drilling downwards. When upside down or on its side the coolant runs away from the broach.
