Step 5: Pause for reflection

The mister works very well. I run about 15psi and the coolant and air use is pretty minimal. I wrapped the tubing in vinyl tape for protection. It looks a bit low rent, but it was the best idea I could come up with.

Mistakes I made that you should avoid:

I initially had plastic lines from the canister to the nozzle. They were too stiff and would pull the nozzle all around as the machine moved. I switched to 1/4 OD vinyl tubing and am much happier.

I initially had copper tubing for the nozzle. This was very flimsy and in my opinion the wrong inside diameter to work properly. The brass is much better. I have seen some examples where a MIG welding tip was used a nozzle. It might work.

The mounting bracket needs to be strong. Mine is too weak.

I added a barb fitting to the end of the tube inside the canister to give it some weight and keep it on the bottom.

Thanks everyone.
