Warning: There are several types of coolants available in the market. FlexCNC does not
recommend a given coolant. The user should select a coolant suitable for the intended
application, keeping in mind the following points:
• Operator Safety: coolant components shall neither be aggressive to the skin,
nor be harmful to people’s health (odor, poison, etc.).
• Coolant shall not suffer deterioration during its storage life.
• Coolant shall not cause corrosion to machine components.
• Coolant shall not deteriorate machine paint coating.
• Coolant shall not impair machine accuracy.
The frequency at which the coolant tank should be cleaned will depend on the coolant
used, type and material of the workpiece, etc. Consult coolant supplier for instructions.
Proper cleaning of the coolant and keeping coolant in good condition is of paramount
importance for both operator’s health and coolant performance.
