HAAS Flood Coolant Filter Upgrade

We recently upgraded our flood coolant filter on our HAAS DM2 using references from online sources. The machine comes with a gray canister filter that catches large chips in a removable basket. The stock filter was not sufficient enough as the coolant nozzles around the spindle nose were constantly getting clogged up. We replaced the stock canister filter with a heavy duty steel filter bag housing. Most of the original pipe fittings were used. Below are the part numbers to make the filter upgrade. Hopefully this will come in handy for other machine operators.
