Run several misters and you need around 25 PSI to draw the cutting fluid, mist the liquid and blow away the swarf.
I don't like my big compressor working hard to produce 25 PSI so I'm busy setting up a small 3 phase motor to run and oilless pump with a small VFD. This way I can set the speed of the motor to give me the pressure I want and it only comes on when the spindle starts. I do a lot of aly and I'm tired of the coolant splashing everywhere. PS remember that the mister will in time leave the machine covered in oil. It too has its drawbacks.
