What thickness of window suits a lathe or milling machine?

For metalworking lathes and mills we typically specify 10mm or 12mm polycarbonate to handle the impact energy of a chuck-thrown part or broken tool. Lighter machinery such as drilling and finishing stations can run 6mm.

Can you make a coolant-resistant viewing window?

Yes, where coolants attack standard polycarbonate (notably some soluble oils and aggressive cleaners) we can supply a hard-coated polycarbonate or laminated polycarbonate-glass assembly. Tell us what coolant you are running and we will recommend the right material for the environment.

How quickly can a damaged machine window be replaced?

For standard rectangular windows we can usually have a replacement cut and ready to fit within a couple of business days. Complex shaped panels or laminated assemblies take longer because of the build steps involved, but we will give you a clear date upfront so you can plan the downtime.
