I am knew to the regular use of coolant so I would still like any feedback from anyone on what I need to do to maintain the coolant system.
What is the "skin" I found in there? Will I need to remove that every few months? I use the machine several evenings a week, and as much as I can on weekends.
Anything else to prevent the skin?
I am using Tormach's synthetic coolant mixed to spec. I check it every week with a refractometer.
Thanks for the help.
