That would likely work, but I had, since the motor needs the mass more than the instant cooling, and I have seen some of those machines without the radiator but with a gallon or so plastic tank the pump is submerged in, so I had visions of drawer holding enough water to submerge the pump fully, gallon or so. It would really have to be working hard and steady for a couple hours to get it good and hot. I've an aircooled 1 HP, and I've left it running on the table at 24k revs for half an hour or more , virtually no heat and all I can hear is the swish of its air. Dead smooth, well built motor, came with the vfd thats now on the Sheldon, but never found the round tuit to do something with it. Too big and heavy to fit well on the side of the G0704. The collet may not be an ER-11 either, haven't looked recently enough to recall. But any plastic drawer is going to need to be pretty rigid stuff, water gets heavy after a while.
