That looks like a modern day - beefed up version of the ones I replaced in the 50's.
I don't think the old ones would be allowed anymore due to OSHA and a few other
laws... Open frame - almost open motor in a water bath.

Most of them are indeed open motors with a simply plastic splash guard
semi protecting the wiring. Sometimes.

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...

Now that summer is nearly over..swamp cooler (evaporative cooler)
pumps may be coming on sale. They work very well for coolant pumps for
saws And lathes. They are intended for water so dont pump high sulpher
oil all that well if you need a large head distance but for water
based coolants..work very very well.
