Lathe stand coolant system.

[th62]

Occasionally some swarf gets stuck in the holes as they're only 6mm, but the coolant still drains. I just poke the swarf down into the 25mm drain tube and it runs into the coolant container. The feed for the pump is well clear of the bottom. Never had any problems in eight years, save for the way oil draining into the coolant container and making junket.
