How Often to Change Machine Coolant and Filters
Changing Machine Coolant Machine coolant should probably be changed once a year. Some folks do it every six months and some do it every other year. More than twice a year is generally excessive. For more information on Filter units, and how to change them refer to our Filtering Machine Coolant Index.
Reasons to Change Filters Monthly Your Machine Coolant Filter Unit from Carbide Processors is designed for monthly filter changes. You can go two or three months between filter changes if you wish. However if you go longer than one month then the filters become very hard to change. At one month you just pull the old filters out and put new ones in. It takes a few minutes. If you go three months you will pack three times the oil, grease and ground carbide in the filter housings and it will be very hard to remove. |

e Ridgid cast iron table and the Incra fence per the Incra directions. It all works really well. The set up took a little while but it’s sweet! I have done probably 50 cuts and each time I measure with a caliper and it’s dead on front to back on the board I am cutting. I think I am within .004 between blade and fence discrepancies. So for a Ridgid R4512 I’ll take it. Now I have a $1000 package that can hang in terms of accuracy with a nicer cabinet saw. Read LessRead less about So I added the TS-LS 32” to my
, the deal was too good to ignore and figured I would challenge any irregularities with the credit card company later. I also located a coupon code that made the price unbeatable. It must be stated, the expected delivery time on this particular unit was 6 weeks out, adding to my concern. This is the same time frame advised on the Incra web site as well. At probably 5 weeks, I was thrilled to receive delivery notice emails. The large unit came in pristine condition and packaged extremely well. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO BUY FROM CARBIDE PROCESSORS IN THE FUTURE. Thank you for the fantastic deal! Read LessRead less about I had been looking for several weeks
