Anyone willing to share pics of how they may have enclosed their Patriot to contain the cooling liquid?

Larry,
I was trying to do the same thing, I hated the mess & was trying to capsulate the area, sorta like a machine center. So all I'd have to do is open the door wash everything down with filtered coolant with something like a parts washer brush except have coolant flowing thru the brush instead. Anyway, wash all the chips off the table, millhead,etc. then scoop it up from the basin & all the while the coolant was draining down to filter & pump to be recirculated.
I thought it would be pretty easy but by the time you bought & cut the plexiglass, parts brush, that snap-loc tubing, pump, filters, housing, & so on it got expensive quick.

I ended up buying a Trico system that has dual micro drop nozzles, connects to shop air or equiv. & I'm still on my 2nd gallon of fluid. They cost $500-$1000 but that's less than my first idea.

This is one of the Trico Micro-droplet nozzles I attached to the mill arm, the other is attached to the table
