I still think this is a good idea, throw in a magnet to continually clear the swarf
As long as you can securely keep the work from rotating, sure. Otherwise you get a metal brick helicoptering inside of your oil bucket.
>>2950187It'd be an absolute shitty mess in no time flat. Do it that way if you want. Nobody else will.
>>2950187y don u go out in the world an askually drill some holes instead of making slidethreads of gayi slop?
>>2950187>push too hard the container breaks>drill catches on piece the container breaks>drill catches on piece and whips the container around throwing oil everywhere>long piece of metal comes off the piece and throws oil everywhere>magnet will only grab metal bits if they get withing an couple of inches
>>2950187>I still think this is a good ideado you also think wearing gloves while operating rotating machine tools is a good idea too? let's all stand up and give genius you an award for rediscovering machine tool coolant.>knock knock>hurr durr, who is it>it's me, the asshole to tell you machine tool coolant is cutting lube too>guh huh, okay, thanks! I'll get back in my hole nowtry making a basin around your drill press surface and get a chinese coolant pumping unit for maybe $100 off scamazon. let it drip into the basin, then down through a hose to the coolant unit. they usually include a nozzle. don't ever wear gloves with rotating machine tools. all you need is a single flute to catch the threads and you are fucking done, man. lathe and mill too. most cutting tools won't catch your skin enough to pull your entire hand in and wrap it around the cutting tool either under power or on slowdown inertia. a deep scratch is much more survivable.
>>2950339Lol that's AI dipshitPretty good tho huh?
What you could do is get a glove like you're wearing and pour the fluid in through the open end of the glove and remove the swarf that way.
>>2950339>do you also think wearing gloves while operating rotating machine tools is a good idea too?Not OP, but I do, as they have stopped me from getting hurt many times.
>>2950187You accomplish this by adding a sloped wall around all the edges of the clamp table, then adding a drain line that leads to a coolant pump. The pump then outputs to a flexible nozzle you aim at the drill bit.There's no need to submerge the workpiece in liquid as the flow of coolant will drive the chips away from the workpiece. And you still need access to the slots in the table in order to secure the workpiece with toe clamps or a vice.
