For those of you with a TM1-P, I'm wondering how the coolant is working out for you? Don't they hold only like 5 gallons?

I went with the Mini Mill because that's what we could fit at the time, and I like the 24 gallon capacity, and high flow pump (option).

For coolant, I'd recommend Trim 585XT and use filtered water.

For tooling, I use Maritool for holders and pull studs and Lakeshore Carbide for endmills. Don't forget you need a vise, preferably two. This can run you over $1000 for the pair.

Let me know if you need help with pricing or anything on the HAAS or tooling or or picking anything out. I've done this a couple times now.
