Hi David,
the component in question is a transformer, it takes 440 or 220 and reduces the voltage for control purposes.
Generally speaking 115VAC control systems are used on most equipment i have ever ran across.
there are few 24V systems but they do exist
even more rare is the DC control system
I would bet $100 that the contactors are controlled by 115VAC on your grinder, but the contactors and controls will be modified or removed for VFD operation.
for coolant, it would be better to make or purchase a mist system
flood coolant has little value outside of production work
