Hello All,
New to this forum and need some help / advise.
I have a 2005 mini mill I bought used with very low hrs 9 months ago. Overall I am pretty impressed with this little machine. Havnt had any problems whatsoever with it since the day it was installed, except for coolant return.
It is equiped with the standard pump which works perfectly. Problem Im having is coolant builds up inside machine and doesnt drain back into reservoir fast enough. Between the inside of the machine and the reservoir there appears to be another reservoir that works in conjunction with the built in oil skimmer(which doesnt work very well either). Inside the machine I cant even see any drain holes. Where are these little guys hiding ? Obviously drain holes / slots are getting plugged by chips. From inside the main reservoir I can see slots that go thru to the skimmer reservoir. I hav blown thru these with air gun and it helps a little but not much. Coolant is basically just dripping from these slots.
Any suggestions / advise ??? Im sure someone out there has encountered the same problem.
Thanks.....knkprecision
