    So when you open the door the coolant is going to run down the right side of the machine and drip all over the floor?

    Maybe there is a channel at the bottom of the door? I guess I will still buy it since you have to for the tool changer..

    Maybe there is a piece of rubber that acts like a squeegee to strip the coolant off the door as you slide it open?

    If not, seems like it would be easy to add.

    That was exactly what I first saw when I looked at the design.

    Also, how wide does it open?
