Hi There,
New to the forums but thought i'd post up something
Where I work we run 3 multicam (australian) routers, each had md-1200 trico units on them.. we ran some fuchs econocut or something? used to order it by the drum.
I found the guys used to just dump it on because it was so cheap... when we were machining a 5mm recess into 6061 t651 aluminium plate, we got plenty of smoke. I've since learnt that we are cutting too slow, and putting on too much oil...
In order to combat this we ended up putting in a Trico unit, running their vegetable oil and we have had very very good results, with only a little bit of smoke, but i've found that if i turn the oil down for the machining when we're cutting the profile i'm getting too much heat in the cut..
