A possibly stupid question
I have an Axminster mill an FB2 copy which is very good. I have started using coolant and part of the design of the table at each end are rectangular depressions milled into the table about one inch from each end. I have seen similar things on other types of machine. The thing is there are no drain holes in the depressions so they fill up with coolant and stay that way. Hence my question what exactly are the depressions for and why no drain holes and should I drill drain holes. I do not see any obvious reason for not having drain holes. I like the idea of drilling even though the holes could be arranged to not affect any vital machined slides ect.
Many thanks in advance.
