Default Homebrew misting coolant system for small mills

I made a pressurized one, a copy of the $300 HenchForth mister. No sore
throat from fog in the room.

See "ZeroFogMister" in the drop box, 2001 I think. Also a thread of that
subject about that time.

Karl,

Would you be so kind as to tell me what you use for coolant? I've been
away from my machines for several years, but used a product I recall to be
named either CoolMist or SprayMist. Worked great, but made clouds of mist
that aggravated my throat. I was also not pleased with how the machine
felt after use. Often I'd have to wash down the quill on my Bridgeport
several times to restore the "feel" due to the sticky deposit that
accumulated and migrated into the housing.

I'd gladly go back to using one if I thought I could control that issue.
Mean time, I use an acid brush, which is hardly the same thing! :-)

Thanks~

Harold
