Dave, I can't do that

Hi all,
I have a machine that I'd like it to turn the coolant system off when
it has finished a job as it sprays crap everywhere on a stopped
cutter.
The cutting head always returns to a "home" position at the end of the
work so I put a cherry switch there. It sort of works but it does not
go cleanly "home"
It hits a limit switch then backs off a little then advances slowly to
the home position. During this little dance, it seems to encourage the
coolant system to spray crap even further as the coolant turns off and
on rapidly.
The homing tales about 3 seconds so I'd like a switch that will delay
until it has reached the home position or a few seconds after that
then shuts down the coolant.
I would like it to turn the coolant on when it leaves the "home"
position to begin a new job. Fortunately that is a straight turn on
with no delay required.
Can anyone suggest something that will do this?
Thanks.
Dave
