One idea I have been meaning to try on my mister is to use a peristaltic pump, maybe powered by a stepper and EMC2 stepgen, to meter the fluid into the air stream. This way, I can better control the fluid quantity rate and I won't get fluid drain-back, so the fluid will come on instantly. Inkjet printers often have a small pump for cleaning the head.
Another thing that comes to mind, on my Hardinge lathe and Shizuoka mill, any hint of water seems to cause rust, so I won't be using any water based anything around my machines. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
