So lately my wheels have been turning about building a set up so I can have my choice of coolant flushed over a blade while I'm hand sanding it.
Something I could tap a switch and get some coolant to wash over the blade and then turn it right back off.
I've considered pond pumps, the coolant pumps like is on my bandsaw. I would probably use Loc-Line http://www.modularhose.com/ for actually aiming the stuff where I'm sanding.
Heck, if I had a water line close to my finishing bench I'd use that, as I won't want to actually cycle the water as the coarse grit would contaminate the coolant and mess up the finer grits.
This may be more trouble than it's worth, but it might be worth the trouble in order to upgrade from my current spritz bottles of KoolMist and Windex.
So have any of you done this, or thought about it?
