Here is my shelve stand for my saw. I set it upside down to make the bottom of the shelve a coolant drip tank. Just welded up the seams to make it water tight. I never installed a coolant system but it is ready if I decide to add it. Been cutting like this for fifteen years with bees wax. Hope this helps.

Seals don't have to be good to work in this application
Most plants processing anything from metal to food use air power for control and regularly trash old air cylinders.?
?They're rated to 10bar (150psi) so anything over 3/4" diameter and 4-6" stroke will work and they'll work on oil as easily as air - jv
