I am looking to use coolant on my lathe and mill, I was thinking of using
one of the Harbor freight parts washing tanks with pump. Has anyone done
this? I would just hook up a drain tube that would drain into the tank,
that
way I could use it on the lathe and sometimes on the mill.


I put a pump intended for a garden fountain on a horizontal band saw I
acquired a few years back; it was cheap and it works well. But the saw
already had (most of) a cooling system on it. The pump was shot.

It is a good idea to put the pump in a nylon mesh bag to filter out the big
chunks, though...
