Thanks m_c.
The brass part was someone else's post in this thread! (it did get a bit confusticated...)
I need to get some side plates made up to keep the chips and coolant under control.
The machine has a pipe running down to a small thumbscrew valve with a copper tube going down to the cutter (see attached). If I run compressed air to it, I think it will draw coolant down another tube, plugged in where the red arrow is and make a mist spray.
Interesting how a buildup of ali on the tip of the tool will erode carbide! I guess there is very high localised heating due to increased friction.
