Horizontal Bandsaw Coolant

Noticed the other day that the coolant wasn’t running on the horizontal bandsaw. Tried a couple on/off cycles on the coolant switch and opening/closing the valve, but that was about all I knew how to do. When it first started a small amount of coolant came out then nothing. Not sure if the coolant is low or if there’s a clog in the lines somewhere. This was on Wednesday though and I forgot to post then, so maybe it’s fixed now?

You can pour some water in the trough. The coolant gets low from splashing out and evaporation. If it is low you can dump about a quart in it safely without overfilling the reservoir.

I added fluid and verified its working.
