From time to time I drill a lot of deeper holes, 3/4" diameter and 8x deep. This sucks with flood coolant and traditional twist drills so I want to cobble together some sort of HP coolant arrangement to allow me to run coolant through spade drills.
This obviously would not be a manual tool change, and probably in the lathe so the drill is not spinning.
How much pressure and flow does a guy need? Are there reasonably priced pumps that will move, say, 250psi coolant? I'm halfway tempted to buy an electric pressure washer arrangement, arrange a relief valve and say send it.
