Benefits of Using an Oil Mist Eliminator in the Metalworking Industry
Today’s high-performance CNC machines operate at extremely high rates of speed, requiring an oil mist eliminator to remove vast amounts of coolant. For example, the Haas MDC-500 Mill DrillCenter features a high-volume coolant pump and a 40-gallon coolant tank. Mist eliminators are designed to remove the oil mist and smoke from cutting fluids in metalworking environments.
The health hazards of oil mist exposure associated with the machine tool industry have been well documented. The websites for OSHA, NIOSH and the CDC provide a wealth of valuable information for both employers and employees regarding safety issues and cutting fluids.
One of the most common afflictions of workers exposed to oil mist is Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP). This is an allergic reaction to machine coolant that worsens with continued exposure. HP is caused by microbes in the cutting oil that affect air sacs in the deepest part of the lung. Symptoms include fever, chills, deep coughing and shortness of breath.
A mist eliminator collects and removes the harmful particles and smoke from oil mist. Not only does an oil mist eliminator protect workers health, it can also help increase production and improve your shops overall environment.
Oil Mist Eliminator Benefits:
* Potential health problems and lost man hours are reduced by capturing harmful airborne mist particles
* A good quality mist eliminator will help your shop to be in safety compliance with OSHA and NIOSH airborne oil mist limits
* Using a mist eliminator reduces maintenance costs by keeping exposed areas free from oil. This not only frees up your maintenance crew, but also saves parts and surfaces from machine oil mist
* Your production can be increased by reducing machine downtime. A mist eliminator protects the contacts in electronic equipment from becoming fouled by removing the oil mist from the air

Bridgeport Series I M Head Milling Machine
http://stores.ebay.com/MACHINERY-EXCHANGE
Model M Head
This was the head fitted to the first Bridgeport milling machines and had 3.5-inches of quill travel through both fine and quick-action feeds by hand operation only.
The spindle could be ordered with a No. 2 Morse, B & S No. 7 or a B-3 taper – and the maximum collet capacity was 0.5 inches. Special tapers were available to order and it is highly likely that a factory already equipped with tooling to a different specification might have ordered its machines so as to be able to mount cutters already in stock.
The 0.5 h.p. motor was available as either a 1200 rpm unit – which gave spindle speeds of 275, 425, 700, 1050, 2100 and 4250 rpm – or as a 3600 rpm model with rather higher spindle speeds of 950, 1350, 2200, 3250, 6500 and 12000 rpm.
The unit could be mounted either on the front or back of the ram and, if on the latter, fitted to a swivel adapter that allowed it to be angled in both planes.
