SmartBench extraction
Routing naturally produces swarf, and without proper extraction this swarf can start to build up on the surface of the workpiece.
|
It is critical that swarf is removed from the cutting site during the machining operation by an effective extractor. |
Poor extraction and build up of swarf on the workpiece can cause:
-
High levels of friction and heat at the cutting site.
-
Reduced finished part accuracy.
-
Loss of position mid-job.
-
Blunting of the cutter.
-
Job failure.
SmartBench coolant
To remove swarf during operation SmartBench only uses an air-extraction system as its coolant.
Using any other type of liquid coolants such as water, oil, synthetics etc can damage your SmartBench.

What do I need to look for in a SmartBench extraction?
SmartBench requires a good, efficient chip and dust extraction system to ensure your job completes without any hiccups.
When choosing an extractor for SmartBench, you need to consider:
The articles in this guide will go through all of this in detail, so you can choose the most appropriate extraction system for your application.
