Kool Mist / Noga mini mist for the home shop?

[LVLAaron]

After doing my first cuts and using some 20-50 oil on a facing operation... I have determined that's not something I'd like to do very often, because of the smoke. My shop is fairly air tight and heated/cooled.

Is a noga mini mist and kool mist 77 the ticket for me?

20-50 as in motor oil?
don't use motor oil.

you might want to try anchor lube.
kool mist can be the ticket.. you might try it in a spray bottle first to see if it agrees with you... then invest if it works.

I use tapmatic, mobil 766 , anchor lube, alcohol, wd40 .
edit: mobil 77 to mobil 766 damn memory keeps failing me.

I have a Kool mist system on my mill. I mix it up a gallon at a time and put the jug in rack I made and mounted on the side of the mill. I can post a picture tomorrow if you want to see it. In addition to the Kool mist system, I also keep a spray bottle handy. Depending on the operation, I use one or the other, or nothing at all.

Regards

A spray bottle of the same kool mist? Any issues with rust? It can be left on the machine surfaces?

I use Kool Mist and Anchor Lube regularly. For small quick operations Anchor Lube is easy, for bigger cuts or jobs, I keep the Kool Mist mounted at the mill and lathe, just have to connect regulated air.

I have not had rust issues. And I had a bad episode breathing smoke from using Tap Magic…I no longer use that product.

We live in a fairly high humidity environment, so flash rust is a common issue. I do not find that Kool mist creates any specific rust issues on its own, but I usually wipe down my machines and tooling at the end of operations. For rust control, I routinely use Fluid Film spray on most metal surfaces of my machines.

P.S.: Unless it's apparent Fluid Film is necessary, I will spray a light coat of penetrating oil (PB Blaster or AeroKroil) on machines and workbenches.

That is my main set up. Works well and is portable so you can take it from lathe to mill.

Exactly what I’d be doing.

Cool mist 77 fluid is great and I use it almost exclusively on my Mill. However I don't use the cool mist delivery system. Instead I use a Fog Buster system. I started with the Cool Mist delivery but it was very time intensive to get the flow right. with the venturi style fluid pickup it was very sensitive to where I put the source bottle of fluid (height wise) and I would constantly have to fiddle with the flow valve. Once I switched to the pressure system (Fog Buster) I rarely have to adjust it and it just works.
