After 1yr... my deluxe stand is leaking. It is not pouring but all along with inside top edges of stand, you can see streaks of coolant. Today (after 16mos), it leaked bad enough to short out the power strip I used in the computer compartment and it popped the breaker and shut down my mill.
From what I can tell... the pan on the stand is spot welded at the bottom every few inches... and on top... I originally thought it was exopied all along the edges but it's looking like paint was used to water proof and seal all the edges. I have to admit I did use the wrong coolant a few months back and the coolant ate through the paint on a few spots and rusted 2 spots the size of a golf ball on the pan. But no paint peeling or rust along or near the edges at all.
Anyone else having leaky stand problems?? What was your solution?? I would hate to remove the mill, sand or sand blast the pan (top of stand), reseal all edges, paint and assemble. I'm running a few jobs now... and this will probabily take at least 2-3 weeks without a machine.
