Haas CNC Mill - Sno-Isle Skills Center

Small "plaque" made on a Haas CNC (computer numerical control) milling machine

Some of my students made a few dozen of these. They handed them out to people visiting the machine shop during a Sno-Isle Skills Center open house.

Sno-Isle is a technical high school for 11th and 12th graders from more than 40 high schools. Students spend a half-day at their local high schools and a half-day with us.

The machine making the model Space Needle is a Haas CNC Mill, model VFE.

Thanks for watching, and for your question. Actually, coolants come in a variety of colors besides green. There's even pink coolant (Cimcool is pink). The coolant used here is fairly fresh, and the color is correct for this brand. :-)

Shouldn't your coolant be a light green color?

Thanks for watching. The liquid is called "coolant." It is mixed with 1 part water-soluble oil concentrate and 30 parts water. Of course, coolant cools the metal and tool as they heat up while cutting. It also lubricates the tool, reducing friction while cutting.

whats that white liquid?
