Yes! Most CNC setups will flood the cutting area with coolant. It moderates tool temperature and also helps carry away chips.
The machines have filters to recover and recycle the coolant. They might also have augurs to carry chips out of the machine.
The coolant can be topped up periodically between shifts as needed, when the waste chips are collected.
At scale, these things can be automated even further. For medium sized shops it's easy to pay someone for a couple hours of labor to do it every few days.
