 ======MQL - Minimum Quantity Lubrication======
+{{youtube>0NRn-5vOnkU?large}}
 myCNC software allows the user to implement MQL, or Minimum Quantity Lubrication, on their machines.
-MQL is a process in which tiny drops of high-quality lubricant are sprayed over the cutting tool, providing lubrication at extremely low rates of lubricant use. This allows for a greatly reduced fluid usage as opposed to typical flood coolants, resulting in a greener environmental impact and eliminating the need for coolant fluid disposal.
+MQL is a process in which tiny drops of high-quality aerosol lubricant are sprayed over the cutting tool and the material, providing lubrication at extremely low rates of lubricant use. This allows for a greatly reduced fluid usage (with the workpiece being nearly dry throughout the lubrication process) as opposed to typical flood setups, resulting in a greener environmental impact and eliminating the need for fluid disposal.
 MQL is available in myCNC software by going into the Step/Dir Coolant control tab within User Settings, where you can set the coolant rate.
