Had a coolant line blowout on a 2015 Haas VF2 last Thursday
I was running a long cycle on some aluminum parts when I heard a weird hiss and saw coolant spraying all over the back of the machine. It was the main line from the pump to the spindle. I hit the e-stop, shut off the main power, and found the hose had rubbed through on a sharp edge of the sheet metal. I cut out the bad section and put in a new piece with two hose clamps, which got me running again in about an hour. Has anyone else had a coolant line fail like that, and is there a better fix than just patching it?

Our old Mazak had a coolant leak that fried the servo drive board.

Coolant leaks are a real pain, but that's usually a maintenance issue, not a machine flaw. Proper hose checks and clamps can prevent most of those disasters. It's more about staying on top of the basics.
