Accu-Lube LS-3V lubrication thing, what oil goes in it
This is supposed to be some kind of a microdrop thing.
http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Accu-Lube/ It came with the mill. If I understand it right, I am supposed to use special vegetable oil with it. 1) Would mcMaster item 10305K26 be the proper lubricant to put into it (I will try to find out by calling the company, but I doubt that they still exist based on some google searches). 2) Is that supposed to be used on aluminum? I tried machining Aluminum. First without lube, promptly broke endmill. :-( Then I tried a bigger end mill, slower feed, and this Accu-Lube. (there is still a tiny amount of oil left in it). The endmill did not break, but aluminum still gummed up completely. The aluminum did seem machinable. I would be perfectly open to using flood coolant for this application. I just have not started using the flood unit yet and have not set up guards. Any suggestion, how would I go about machining aluminum with a 3/8" ball carbide endmill. Speed up to 3k rpm. Open to coolant ideas. i |
