Has anyone fitted flood or mist coolant to a starmill?
If this was fitted as a factory option, was anything special done to the mill? eg, a drain hole cut in the base, some extra guards/seals to prevent moisture ingress anywhere?
Thanks
Andy

Long shot on a ten year unanswered post, but has anyone any tips/advice on fitting coolant on a Starmill?
Re: coolant options
Hi I am looking at doing this also, I see by the drawings it has an option for a mist relay, I don't pick my starmill up until Friday so will have a look at the electronics then

Airmist does not require any modification to the machine. If set correctly there is hardly any residue left and it will evaporate away.
