Zero Fog mister

Apr 05, 2010 12 Replies

I just had about my 100th request to make a copy of my zero fog mister. its a device to spray coolant without that annoying fog the cheap misters put out. Anyway I looked up the links and thought I'd repost here also.

Interesting. I have dribble cooling in the lather, but the mill is a problem.

My shop looked like a fogbank after some hours of work, so I was using a mask. I stopped using the misters because of the fog, and need a better answer.

What is the number of the mentioned patent? I did a little searching, and came up with 5,390,854 from a picture on . I would suggest adding the patent number to the text file.

What application understands a .DWG file?

AutoCAD, Rhino, and there are several others.

Besides that, you can get freeware .dwg "readers" all over. No CAD features, just display/print the file.

OK.

Which readers by name will do this?

This one doesn't print, but is completely free.

Truview is Autodesk's free viewer -- .dwg is the native autocad file format. It allows you to view, print, and take measurements from a drawing in .dwg or .dxf format.

If you're interested. This fella just posted the unit on his web site:

Hey Karl,

Thanks for that. The pix shows up much better there than it did in your original post. Much clearer to see the whole thing.

A question though.........what do you use as the "coolant"? I presently only use flood coolant of a soluble-oil type that is a 20:1 mix with tap water.

Take care.

I use exactly the same. The fresh made goes to the CNC mill. I have a drain tube to a pail on the table. The recycle then goes into the saw. When running 304 SS, I up the concentration to 8 or 10% but normally 5%.

I used to use koolmist. But there's been no need for this more expensive material.

Hey Karl,

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try.

One more question. What kind of air pressure regulator are you using?
