: re:Re: Low cost coolant pump and tank

Murph,

The parts washer sits below the tool, and a hose runs from the tool
tray (which catches the coolant after machining) to the part washer
tank. The original "gooseneck" of the part washer was 'extended' with
another piece of hose, and mounted on the tool. First did this with a
9 x 20 lathe.

Hope this helps.
