Hi Phill
My shop gets pretty cold in winter too, and I've had the problems you describe.
Turn on the pump and what comes out mostly water, the oil having turned to a
sludge at the bottom of the tank. Stirring it up with a stick works to some
extent, but I eventually finish up ditching the stuff, which is a problem
because you can't pour it down the drains.
Have you tried different mixture strengths? I normally use only 5%, perhaps a
higher concentration might be better. Anyone else got any better ideas?
Regards

G'Day Gents,
I have just filled my mills coolant tank up with a light neat cutting oil,
but I would really like to change it back to soluable oil. The reason I have
not put soluable oil in, is because in winter it's not unusual for the
workshop to go down to -5°C overnight. I know that close to 0 temp's
can/will cause the solution to separate.
What experience have other members had in very cold workshops?
Cheers,
Phill.
