Had another true ālearning the hard wayā moment today.
The water system on my cabbing machine lost pressure on the farthest wheels from the pump, so the wheels werenāt getting enough water to stay cool. Took the whole thing apart and ran the spray nozzles through an ultrasonic cleaner after seeing someone online recommend it.
It helped a littleā¦ but not nearly enough. So now Iām thinking it may actually be a pump issue instead of clogged lines. Time to figure out how to test and clean the pump next.
Owning lapidary equipment sometimes feels like being part rockhound, part mechanic, part plumber. š
