    Flood Coolant Containment (Deluxe Stand)

    Just curious how well the deluxe stand contains the mess when using flood coolant? Does the "table mounted splash and chip shield" actually prevent chips and coolant from flying all over? Does the lack of protection at top matter? Lots of questions... but I would rather not have coolant mist/spray all over the room. Thanks.

    I've had few problems with chips or coolant escaping, but I'm still at the tentative stage when it comes to cutting (small DOC) and have throttled coolant flow back a fair amount from the maximum that the pump will produce.

    The major exception is when using the Rotary Technologies flycutter, but it has a 2" diameter face that really slings coolant at recommended speeds.
