Abstract

The goal of this design is to allow a lubrication and chip clearing module addition to a CNC router. This system consists of an external unit which served to feed the air and lubrication with an actuating arm mounted on the spindle to better direct the fluid/air onto the tool piece. This simple and easy solution would allow individuals to use their CNC Router with metal.

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

  1. MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
  2. Soldering Iron to use filament welding method to connect parts
    1. Use solding iron to melt filament together. A short piece can be ran through holes and melted on either end. Another option is to melt along the edges where two parts meet.
