Water-cooled spindle tubing

[cropwell]

Lee,

See post #5. My reason for wanting to change the fittings was that I couldn't get the original fittings to clamp down over the pipe (8mm OD 6mm ID). As I have many metres of this pipe, I didn't want to buy any more of a different size. I would have liked M8 male to 8mm push in, but couldn't find it directly. I have the brass, taps and dies to make an adapter, but couldn't be arsed to, when they were available to buy.

Dean how comes you change them for push fit type anyway, are the standard clamp type not very good that come with them?

Just don't like them also means can use smaller Dia tube.

I think that polyurethane tube is a nice touch, now that they are cheap on ebay. And if transparent and cooling liquid pink red, then even better for the "Frankenstein" effect

Hummm, black frame, green plates, red veins...when are you painting your machine Boyan?

You go first - I follow the colour scheme :-)

Pink antifreeze, add red food dye, nice soft clear silicone tubing and pulse the flow at about 80 b.p.m. - you could really make your machine come alive !

Ahh I see, in the end this was the best price I could find for 6mm od x M8, there listed as 1/8 but if you message the seller first he'll send you the M8x1, I know you don't need them but others may and this is mostly for Jazz if he's interested in buying them cheaper.
