What Type Of Coolant System Are You Using?

More than it would cost to buy a Noga mist system, that's for sure. Since making this knock-off, I have replaced it with a Noga system on the mill which performs much better. I put a Fogbuster on my PM1340 lathe, and although more expensive, I am very happy with it.

I recently put a Fogbuster on my 1340GT and wish I'd done it sooner. Works great. :)
 
What drives the choice between the Fogbuster and a Noga mist system? I was inclined to go with something like a Fogbuster to minimize airborne contaminants.

Appreciated. Your comment caused me to dig deeper.. having a family with a serious breathing problem, I think my choice is made for me. So like... REALLY appreciated.

10,000 years ago, I happened to be in a colleague's office over in the intellectual ghetto known as the mechanical engr department <s> who was a fluids guy, when someone from a local manufacturer that was pursuing a new and more effective fire hose nozzle came by for a visit... I was privileged to hear as just an observer a boat load of super interesting back/forth about controlling droplet size/pattern. Their focus was doing it all at the nozzle and while I don't remember any of the details (1983 or 4) it sounded like engineering the right qualities into the nozzle can make a big difference on this point. Of course fire hoses mix the fluid with air after the nozzle and these tools do it before but a Noga nozzle retrofit is also doable. Just thinking out loud though... family member with blown out lungs. FB for me. Thank you again.

I have a Fogbuster on the mill, and one on the lathe. Spendy, but I won't consider a mist type system. Smoked for too many years. :rolleyes: :)
 
I like the cheap option here: https://www.banggood.com/Mist-Coola...-p-987371.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN

I have two of them, one on the PM1236 lathe and one on the PM727M mill. I run Kool Mist 77 in them, the mister fogs really well. The nozzle can be adjusted to a fine mist or a heavy spray. Works for me. I use a small air pressure regulator set about 10 psi to feed them using 3/16" ID (I think) clear vinyl hose. I use mine daily, I like the light use of coolant. No rust issues so far, been using 6 ounces of Kool Mist 77 to one gallon of filtered water.

That is what I am now using as well. Cheapest thing out there, works great. I use 2 liter soda bottles to hold the coolant.
