Tool Lubrication – Cutting Fluid System
The minimal tool lubrication system is designed to deliver a mist of compressed air and MK
200 cutting lubricant to the tool before, during and after the cut (depending on the tool
lubrication settings). This system consists of an oil pump, capillary tubes and an adjustable
spray nozzle.
3.4.1 Cleaning
The tool lubrication system requires little cleaning. Wiping off the spray nozzle each time the
pressure plate is cleaned should be sufficient.
3.4.2 Testing for Oil Delivery
Test for proper oil delivery each day, before the machine is put into operation.

Manually turn on the tool lubrication override valve (See Section 3.23.3 for valve
location).

Place a piece of paper or cardboard in front of the spray nozzle for about 2-3 seconds.

A light film of oil should appear but should not be
enough to run or drip down the paper or cardboard.
If you see an oil fog or cloud when milling, the
adjustment is set too high. Refer to Section 3.4.4 for
oil adjustment.

Turn off the pneumatic valve manual override when
the correct amount of oil mist is seen.
3.4.3 Air Pressure Adjustment
The air pressure for the minimum tool lubrication system
should always remain at 2.0 bar pressure. Adjustment
higher or lower is not recommended. See the image, on the
right, for the air pressure adjustment valve.
Note: Air pressure indication will not occur until the minimal oil
lubrication system turns on (either manually or automatically).
