Tuomas, thank you for your excellent videos. In 3.jpg, what does the yellow tube to the drill press head convey? I assume coolant/cutting oil, but I've not seen the setup before!

Yep. Its for coolant. It works with cutters, coolant comes though the chuck and goes inside the cutter. It has a spring loaded valve, coolant starts to flow when cutter is pressed against the workpiece. Drill is evolution evo mag 2"

Thank you, Tuomas. A supplementary question - in the case of a "usual" drill bit, will the coolant flow through the chuck, then to the outside of the tool? Or, does the tool have to be a "hollow bit" (if that's the term) for the coolant feature to work?

No. There's an support for cutters. Coolant flows through it. If used twistdrills, there's no hole in the adapter, so coolant doesn't come trough.I have used coolant directly from the hose with twistdrills, if necessary. Usually only when drilling austenitic materials.

You can see the support in this picture:
