Any hints for a coolant pump project? I have tried a couple of automotive windshield water pumps without that much success. As I have around the shop many small dc motors, thought that building a pump would be a good project. Any directions about pump design, materials and whatever else would be appreciated. Jose |

I used an aquarium vane pump on my lathe. I thought the swarf would kill it early but it survived for years with just a piece of mesh covering the coolant sump to keep the big bits out. |

An old points type fuel pump would probably do it too |
