For 2 quick holes like this it wouldn't be worth it, but I used run a few different parts that extended thru the machine, and would magnet a plastic shower curtain to the inside of the machine so I could continue using coolant.
Oh that is a good idea. We do have an open style toolroom mill that doesn't see much use anymore, but it has coolant and the last guy made all sorts of plastic deflectors.
