Build thread and mods


Went down to the local store alro metals and picked up some offcuts of one by one aluminum tube


In looking at all of the big machines I see they have a certain kind of flood coolant delivery system so I looked around until I found what I needed and ordered it online from Alibaba


I tried first to get them here in the USA but the price was so high it did not make sense so I went to China to get the parts for this project

After some time playing with this I decided to bend the ends of the muscle to get better coverage with coolant


I will do a YouTube video to show how well it works I was going to take it apart and have it powder coated now forget that it works too good

The sliding doors work a treat just that it takes up so much space but it makes life a lot easier
