Does anybody know who sells Blasers in the Southern California Area? Orange County in particular?

Thanks

Question to you guys using the vascomill 22. On our star we are using vascomill 44 which I guess is thicker. When running 2011 we get a lot of low coolant alarms due to the chips building up on the side of the chip tray and not letting the coolant drain out, just wondering if switching to the 22 would help with that. We use the vascomill 22 with a mister on our 14" saw for cutting stock an it works great, smells like hell but works great.

Can anyone offer any insight into the method used to reclaim oil from the chips? I currently drain the oil from the chip bin but I'm sure a lot of oil is going with the chips when the metal recycler takes the bin. As you all know Vascomill 22 is not cheap!

I know you probably don't want to hear it but a spinner is the best way to do that. We spin our chips and our parts. We reclaim a couple of gallons a week or more. We bought a New Barrett model 601-E. It came in just over $20,000 but it does squeeze a lot of extra coolant out of our chips and parts. One thing we did do to reduce the amount of coolant leaving the machine was to turn down the conveyer to a crawl. It gives the coolant more time to drip off of the chips before exiting the machine. Assuming you have a conveyer. That might help a little too. Hope this helps.

even back in the cam machine days we used to spin the oil out of the chips and now on the cnc's. It saves on oil loss and in some cases increases the value of your chips due to the minimal amount of oil in them.You can always find a used spinner.
good luck
