I have resumed the experiment with synthetic cutting oil. Ratio is set to 1:50 (used 30ml cutting oil with 1.5 Lit of water).

If the pics are not clear enough, do tell me as I can provide quality pics.

The black residue you see in pic 'reservoir closeup' is due to some dirt and perhaps old cutting fluid, which was left in tubes (could not clean it away).

The pump is making some noise, which I could not hear with the use of old cutting oil (non-synthetic one). Perhaps this could be because I used a higher cutting oil ratio then. I am assuming after a little wear-tear this noise would be reduced.

I would like to hear from you people about my current block (which I homebrew).
