We just purchased a Hurco VM10 and it didn't come with an oil skimmer.

We purchased an Abanaki Li'l Blue Skimmers Type: Oil Skimmer Volume Capacity: 1 Gal. per Hr. Belt Width: 1 Reach: 12 (We can't use this, No clearance for mounting).

What would be a proper skimmer to use for this Mill?

This machine is lightly used due to it's our first CNC piece of equipment and we only have one machinist capable of setting up and operating it at the moment.

We purchased the Abanaki from this machinist's suggestion because that's what he has at home on his Hurco VM1. Well that's a whole different design compared to our VM10. The way the coolant discharges on our machine we can't pull the tank out to be able to mount the Li'l Blue Belt Skimmer :/

Any suggestions for a proper fitting well working skimmer?

Thanks for your time.

An oil skimmer functions by mechanically separating (skimming) oil floating on the surface of water, or skimming the top layer of fluid from a body of water.
Oil skimmers are remediation devices that separate oil from water and/or wastewater. This product area includes both aboveground and underground systems for the containment and treatment of oil-contaminated water. Oil skimmers also include smaller, filtration-type devices that treat wastewater produced by large, oil-lubricated equipment such as compressors.
