I've been running Trim C350 synthetic in my Haas Mini Mill for the past several months and it'd a really nice coolant, but I'm experiencing some notable rusting issues. I have mild rusting on the tapers of certain tool holders and considerable rusting in areas of the table and on the vises. It's starting to worry me, so I'm posting here. The coolant is at 5.25% on a Brix refractometer which by my interpretation of the spec sheet seems right where it should be. Is it a cleanup procedure issue? Is it a coolant separation/mixing issue? Is it a water supply issue? What is the cause, and what is the fix? The machine is only a few months old.
Thanks.
