There's no point in getting the coolant up to the tool disk without sorting out how it is directed at the individual tools. The VDI40 tool holder incorporates an internal duct from the hole in the tool disk to the outside world close to the tool, but there needs to be a short (about 2") length of tube of some sort directing it at the tool 'action point'.
I'm blessed with three different methods for mounting the tubes across my range of VDI40 tool holders.
1/ The genuine Beaver ones have a sphere, through bored 6 mm, locked in place by a countersunk hex cap screw allowing the ball and tube to be swivled to point where you want it.
2/ The non beaver holders have a similar ball, located by friction, and tapped in the bore M6 x 1
3/ The Baruffaldi Powered tools have a 1/4 BSP port intended for 'Loc-Line' fittings. Now this always raises an issue because 1/4 BSP loc-line connectors are rare beasts, they are usually 1/4 NPT 18 TPI as opposed to 19 TPI for BSP
The four genuine Beaver tool holders I have equipped with bits of copper pipe to direct the flow.
The four threaded sockets raise a problem. Threading M6 x 1 on the end of soft copper pipe is a no-no as it buckles. I had this issue with the Traub and bought some 6 mm heavy walled steel tube but can't for the life of me find the remnant

I may silver solder a thread on the end
For the three powered tools I have ordered up some Loc-Line and the 1/4 NPT connectors are going to be warmed and gently eased into the 1/4" BSP hole - dead easy to sheer off the fitting doing this, but it does work 'sort of'. I'm actually tempted to make up some 1/4" BSP compression fittings and do it in copper as a better engineering solution. we'll see . . .
