    Question Mist Lubricant attachment

    I have a new Tormach 770 that I started cutting aluminum on this weekend. My mist lubricant sprayer is moving around. The magnet sometimes slips and sometimes the tubing gets caught on the chip guard causing the head position to shift. This is dangerous as hell. What kinds of solutions have people come up with to keep the mist sprayer in a constant position on the spindle?
    Thank you!

    I had the same problem with the FogBuster on my 1100 mill and pretty much solved it with a Noga arm that was bought without the magnetic base, like this one:

    DG Holder With Plastic Fine Adjustment. w/out base. - DG1010 | Special holders | Noga Engineering

    It is installed on the side of my milling head casting, using the little threaded rod at the end. It is solid enough not to move around as the table is moved, but flexible enough to accommodate a rare crash.
