Abstract
A method for operating a machine tool equipped with a pump for delivering a cooling lubricant includes inserting a tool into a work spindle of the machine tool and performing a teaching process. The teaching process involves determining a pump characteristic associated with the tool, identifying an optimum operating point of the pump for the tool, and storing the optimum operating point in a tool table.
