    Mister Mister?

    I've got a small diy machine I've been using to cut some aluminum. It works pretty well I rigged up a hose to blow compressed air and keeps the chips out of the way but I constantly stand there shooting wd-40 every now and then while its cutting. I don't know how misters work do they blow air and lube and the same time. Is this something that would be fairly easy to adapt to my machine? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Yes, they inject coolant or oil depending on the type. I've converted the large air tool oilers from harbor freight. Olive oil works well with no smell. Only needs about a drop every 30 seconds or so. Wesson oil stunk bad.

    Pretty low really, we made a small diameter nozzle, like .060 and run 15-20 psi.
