<p>A method and apparatus for directing a coolant stream (90) onto a cutting tool (92, 94) is made up of a nozzle (88) pivotally mounted on a machine center (100), the nozzle being automatically adjusted in response to movement of the machine center via a retractable plunger (40) or other linear drive member so as to cause the coolant stream to intersect the interface between a workpiece and each cutting tool that is brought into cutting position on the machine tool; and the nozzle is pivotal between a reference position and a different intermediate position corresponding to the length or diameter of the cutting tool which is advanced into cutting position.</p> |
