Hi All

Following my last post on the filter for the coolant system on my 4x6 bandsaw Upside down coolant filter this feeds into a funnel, pipe fittings and hose back to the tank.

The drip tray (adapted baking tray) and filter can be removed for cleaning and maintenance and this then gives access to the lower part of the coolant return plumbing.

The tray is held in place with thumb nuts held with lanyards so these nuts cannot be lost Cheap lanyard

The funnel is another kitchen utensil which is normally used to aid the process of filling jam jars, but was perfect for my needs. The pipe fittings are standard and fit to the funnel with a homemade turned threaded coupler.

The lower funnel section can also be removed from the machine to aid cleaning etc.

Below are some photos of the assembly
