i currently run a 4-axis horizonta CNC Mill. i got to experience a lathe for a bit tonight at work. trying to make myself an asset to the company by learning as much as possible. :icon_mrgreen: anyhow, my question is this, what types of machines do you operate? if you could pick a machine what would it be and why? oh, and my company has recently invested in the purchase of a new machine. it's a Makino. the model is a51. i think you can google that and find makino's webpage and check it out if intrested. it's a 5-axiz horizontal mill. it has an 8 pallet changeing system with it. it's still in set-up phase but there's chance i may be trained on it. :icon_mrgreen:

What brand coolant are you running there?
either castrol or hysol. i think it's castrol in my current machine but i think the new one is hysol.
Ok. Only reason I ask is that I work for Blaser Swisslube, we make metalworking fluids.
i have a correction: my machine used to use Hysol MB20 but currently uses WS3-154D. the new machine uses hysol MB50. They are all castrol products though. we also use a variety of velocite oils, vactra oils and DTE. :thumb:
