Cutting Fluid System
The cutting fluid system consists of a fluid tank, 
pump, and flexible nozzle. The pump pulls fluid 
from the tank and sends it to the valve, which 
controls the flow of cutting fluid to the work 
area. When the valve is opened or closed, the 
fluid comes out of the nozzle and drains through 
the chip drawer and into the catch tray and 
then into the tank where it is picked up again 
by the pump. Figure 122 shows many of these 
components and their locations.
BIOLOGICAL & POISON 
HAZARD!
Use the correct personal 
protection equipment 
when handling cutting 
fluid. Follow federal, state, 
and fluid manufacturer 
requirements for proper 
disposal.
3.
  Pour cutting fluid in the tank until it is 
nearly full.
4.
  Slide the tank back into the base and replace 
the vented cover.
Adding Fluid
1.
   DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. 
  Remove the vented cover and slide the tank 
out, as shown in Figure 123.

Tank
Pump Motor
Although most swarf from machining operations 
falls into the chip tray and stays there, some 
small chips drain into the tank. The pump uses 
a screen to prevent it from picking up the small 
swarf that ends up in the tank.
Since the swarf is spread throughout the coolant 
system, cleaning the system on a regular basis is 
a requirement to maintain the life of the pump.

Hazards
As some cutting fluid ages, dangerous microbes 
can proliferate and create a biological hazard. 
The risk of exposure to this hazard can be greatly 
reduced by replacing the old cutting fluid on a 
monthly basis, as indicated in the maintenance 
schedule.
The important thing to keep in mind when 
working with the cutting fluid is to minimize 
exposure to your skin, eyes, and respiratory 
system by wearing the proper PPE (personal 
protective equipment), such as splash-resistant 
safety glasses, long-sleeve gloves, protective 
clothing, and a NIOSH approved respirator.
