Haas CNC lathe coolant delivery methods

CAD/CAM/CNC
1

I currently have a hodge podge coolant delivery system for my BOT (Bolt-On Turret) ST-20 lathe. I was thinking this might be a good resource to see how others get coolant to the cut points.

1
Coolant nozzle on face of boring holder (I am not happy with this so far)
2
Through hole coolant of boring bar, used plugs on face of boring holder and face plate at other end
3
Ball Swivel nozzle with right angle hole
4
Through hole coolant of boring bar, tapped into back of boring holder and coolant line to end of boring bar
5
Copper tubing on a right angle fitting, bend tubing to position best flow
6
Face plate on turret with swivel coolant nozzles

I have placed all of the Rocket Series tooling on this machine. Since it is a 12 station turret, We decided that the two tap drills will share a tool number and the two taps will share a tool number. We used ER32 collets for both the drill and tap, so changeover is pretty simple, just have to probe the tool height offset after changing tools over… I now have one free tool position and will probably add a bar puller

Locline makes some Haas lathe adapters that fit in place of the brass balls, so you can run locline around your ER collet chucks and out to your tools. They work really nice.
