jollyred Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Not sure, but that might be a drip to keep the blade cooler while sawing metals Tom Scrappile, scrollingforsanity, John B and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) That's probably a pretty rare find. Hawk used to sell a water cooling system for cutting ceramic and glass etc.. seems like it's make a big mess but maybe the tank sat under the blade to catch the water and cycle it back through.. Edit: Actually they still sell it. https://stores.bushtonhawkstore.com/drip-tank/ Edited January 3, 2023 by kmmcrafts OCtoolguy and scrollingforsanity 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelCass Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 As Kevin said the drip tank is for when you cut glass or ceramics. I have a glass cutting saw and it has a water reservoir and water is soaked up into a sponge that touches the blade when I am cutting my glass. It is for temperature control. scrollingforsanity and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
