Hello everyone,
I am waiting on delivery of a Haas Mini Mill. I have been out of the field for some time. Does anybody have a recommendation for cutting tool coolant? I will mostly be machining 6061 aluminum and 1018 CRS. I have also purchased Bob Cad to help with programing any help would be great.
Thanks,
Tom

There are a thousand preferences on coolant. Just search the site here and you will find the latest discussion where everyone lists their favorite.

There is a separate section for Bob-Cad, I'd suggest introducing yourself there.

I've had Trim C350 in my Mini Mill for about a year now. Works well for 6061. I've had some rusting issues, but I've upped the concentration which has seemed to help.

Trim 585 very pleased, mostly cutting alum. Great cutter life, no rust, no odors.
Mini mill is a great machine. Bobcad on the other hand is a absolute mess.
