I have a Beaver MK2 turret mill and would like to correspond with any other Beaver mill owners if there are any out there?
e.g. is there a drain hole anywhere to allow one to drain the coolant sump?
My coolant pump is not currently working and I have to ascertain if the switch or the pump is at fault but all the electrical connections are within the mill and protected from moisture by glands into the switch meaning access to the switch is difficult for an electrician - if the fault is with the switch I'm sure a new one will not be obtainable so I plan to replace it with a modern switch mounted outboard with glands where the wires exit the mill
