Bought a Mister for coolant

[Capt45]

Now, what fluid should I buy?

I prefer a good bourbon. But you can also try Kool-Mist, it does a good job with Mr. Mister.

I use Kool-Mist now on the mill, rather than daubing cutting fluid on. It seems to work well. The mister is pretty efficient in use of coolant, and the dilution ratio is high, so a gallon should last me a long time.

20 YO Wild Turkey; not just any Bourbon. Probably get the Kool-Mist, although Amazon shows a product called Trim-Mist, would save about $12.

Spend the extra $12. Kool mist works great, tried and true. By the time you’ve diluted it appropriately you will find it lasts forever (hobby use). It keeps and reacts predictably.......

Sounds like good advise. BTW, already ordered a gallon. Thanks for the responses.

I use Kool Mist 77. I had a Kool Mist unit, but found it difficult to maintain a constant adjustment. Bought a cheap knock-off with two needle valves on the head. Works great. I do mostly plastics and Aluminum. I set it for "spitting" rather than "misting". I also have a shop vac with a 2-1/2" LocLine goose neck that picks up the swarf and over spray right at the cutter or drill.
