Today I was productive. Got a new compressor for the CNC accessories. Added the airlines to the cable / wire carrier, attached the air / coolant nozzle and we are ready to go! This simple upgrade allows for cleaner cuts, helps the end mills and bits to last longer because they will not heat up as much as well as allow me cut things like aluminum and drip some coolant on the bit automatically. I was standing over my machine with coolant and manually applying it prior to this. So happy active day off if that’s what you call it. Oh, and I also cut down and burned a dead tree, mowed the yard, and cleaned up the sucker shoots on my trees along the driveway!
