I just had about my 100th request to make a copy of my zero fog mister. its
a device to spray coolant without that annoying fog the cheap misters put
out. Anyway I looked up the links and thought I'd repost here also.

Interesting. I have dribble cooling in the lather, but the mill is a problem.

My shop looked like a fogbank after some hours of work, so I was using a mask.
I stopped using the misters because of the fog, and need a better answer.

What is the number of the mentioned patent? I did a little searching, and came
up with 5,390,854 from a picture on <http://www.fogbuster.com>. I would suggest
adding the patent number to the text file.

What application understands a .DWG file?

AutoCAD, Rhino, and there are several others.

Besides that, you can get freeware .dwg "readers" all over. No CAD
features, just display/print the file.

Truview is Autodesk's free viewer -- .dwg is the native autocad file
format. It allows you to view, print, and take measurements from a
drawing in .dwg or .dxf format.

Hey Karl,

Thanks for that. The pix shows up much better there than it did in
your original post. Much clearer to see the whole thing.

A question though.........what do you use as the "coolant"? I
presently only use flood coolant of a soluble-oil type that is a 20:1
mix with tap water.

Take care.

The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

I use exactly the same. The fresh made goes to the CNC mill. I have a drain
tube to a pail on the table. The recycle then goes into the saw. When
running 304 SS, I up the concentration to 8 or 10% but normally 5%.

I used to use koolmist. But there's been no need for this more expensive
material.

One more question. What kind of air pressure regulator are you using?
