Lobo Mill Mist Maker

thingiverse

This setup aims to fit on a Lobo Mill, generating a fine spray for tool cooling. Although it's not very noticeable, there is indeed mist present. The mist is produced by a server fan that pushes air into the chamber, which in turn forces mist up the tube and out of the nozzle. A homemade 24VAC/12VDC power supply (black box) powers this system. I purchased an affordable $4.80 multicolored mist maker from eBay, including options without lights or with white LEDs. The common tube for coolant was difficult to find at a low cost; instead, I acquired one used for spark plug wire covers for just $1.50. The jar utilized in the project was simply found around my home. Overall, satisfaction levels are around 5/10, and I'm considering redoing this project. However, I question if coolant is crucial or if flood coolant might be more effective. So far, there hasn't been a significant difference in cutting properties, and I desire more mist for optimal performance.
