grinder coolant question

Show them the MSDS. Tell em it will do their sinuses good cause its all steam that comes out. Steam is pure water. Pure water is good! So your machine makes pure water as a byproduct.

We used to run Hocut 237 in the centerless grinder where I worked as a young lad. Don't know if it's still available, but it was an outstanding coolant for grinding. Running a centerless is sort of like taking a shower, what with the 50 gallons/min coolant flow, and the 6" wide 20" diameter wheels whipping the hell out of it. I breathed my weight of the stuff over the years and to this day I have no lung or breathing problems. It's been 40 years.

Hocut 237 had a pleasant fragrance, and was almost transparent, enough that one could easily mark a part for pickup and see it with no effort. It might be a good choice for you.

The union people want to see the MSDS for water, they state that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen in perfect proportions for an explosion. I tried to explain the covalent bonds to the deer-in-headlights and they stormed off saying: "Prove it!"

one of our former employees went to work for a local mill, in their machine shop

goverment regulators fined them for not having a backup alarm on the forklift

the employer complied

later inspections detected unsafe sound levels (from the backup alarm) and a fine was issued for no hearing protection being used.

huh.
