Picked flood coolant over mist for my aluminum jobs, no regrets so far
Honestly I was stuck between setting up flood coolant or sticking with mist for my Tormach. Mist was cheaper and less cleanup but I kept getting chip welding on my 6061 parts. Tried flood coolant about 3 weeks ago with a simple enclosure and it's a whole different ballgame. Surface finish went from okay to almost mirror-like on my last batch of 50 brackets. The only downside is I gotta scrub the machine down every Friday now. Anyone else switch to flood and deal with the extra mess?

Wait, you actually WANT to scrub it every Friday?

Oh absolutely. It's the one day a week my kids won't barge in asking for snacks or scream at each other. They know if they touch that mop bucket I'll be madder than when I burned the grilled cheese last Tuesday. Plus there's something weirdly satisfying about seeing the grime line in the bucket water after, like I've accomplished a tiny victory over entropy.
