Shizuoka AN-S Mill Quill Mount Coolant Manifold for Lockline

thingiverse

I have a Shizuoka AN-S Milling Machine in my garage that I did a LinuxCNC conversion on. I would like to connect with other Shiz owners out there to share experiences, documentation, and ideas with. Using flood coolant on the Shiz has been an interesting journey. I run it a lot. One of the challenges is keeping it spraying on the cutter. This collar clamps on the end of bearing cap on the mill so it rides up and down with the quill and the cutter. It has an input port for coolant and two output holes for two of the cheap lock-line clones from ebay. I used a tap to put a 1/2-20 thread on the output ports to match the lock-line. I drilled the input port to accept a piece of copper tubing to use as a hose barb. The copper tubing is fed with a length of tygon tubing an one of the cheap centrifugal pumps from ebay ($9). With clean water based coolant it works well. I have my table drain into a bucket where the pump is. A 12V wall adapter feeds it all.
