Ganesh Cyclone 32, High Pressure Coolant/Oil and when to use it OD/ID

Hello,

We have a Ganesh Cyclone 32 here at the shop. Originally, we had issues with getting oil to ID tooling like drill bodies and boring bars. We purchased a external high pressure pump so we could utilize thru-tooling coolant drastically reducing the cycle times for the ID tooling.

Question that's been floating around the shop has been the use of the high pressure oil on the OD tooling like the rougher and finisher. Once the high pressure oil shoots out of the nozzles, it seems to aerate more than lubricate the tool. The way the Ganesh is set up, there is no really good way to oil the OD tooling unless you use left-handed holders so the inserts are directly hit by the oil. We are currently using right-handed holders so the back side of the insert is oiled instead of the front side. And yes, I've repeatedly suggested using left-handed tools. And using the high pressure more has increased the oil temperature and we are burning off more than normal.

A couple of the guys here in the shop think the high pressure on the OD tooling is the way to go. I used high pressure oil in the past at a different shop and they never used it on OD tooling.

Any thoughts on this? Other suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim
