Corey's right. 1114 uses a small bench top CNC mill by RedCAM. Our coolant system consists of a freshman with a squirt bottle. We recently upgraded to a fish tank pump and a bucket. This was a vast improvement.
We've broken more than our share of endmills, and we try to extend tool life as much as possible, so we stick to slow feeds. It can be very time consuming, but student labor is cheap.
