The flow rate of the coolant is adjusted by rotating the nozzle at the end of the flex line. You can even adjust to cut off the coolant flow completely, and just have air flow on the work. --J. Ray Mitchell Jr. jrmitche...@gmail.com (818)324-7573 "No problem can be solved from the same level of

Re: [Emc-users] Would this blower be usefull as a low pressure mister for this 6040

Yes, and Yes. The units Andy sited on EBay look like a similar design to what I have. The key is to keep the bottle a bit lower than the exit plane of the nozzle, so that when the air is shut off, the coolant drains back, not continuing to syphon (dribble) out the nozzle. --J. Ray Mitchell Jr.

I just use a 16oz water bottle with a magnet attached. Drop the pickup tube into it, and the coolant is drawn out. I mix up the coolant in small amounts, as it seems to grow a slime in it if it is around too long. --J. Ray Mitchell Jr. jrmitche...@gmail.com "No problem can be solved from the

A friend of mine recently replaced his aging lead acid battery bank with a wrecked Tesla battery.  He documented the project on YouTube.  Good stuff with lots of great DIY info.  It's very interesting if you're a geek, even if you aren't planning on hacking a battery for your solar powered

[Emc-users] OT note to Erik C - Solar batteries

(Greg) Erik, A trend I have been noticing in the DIY solar crowd is to salvage the batteries from wrecked Tesla or Mercedes Hybrids. The Batteries are series wired for output in the 400VDC range but can be rewired in parallel for a 50-60VDC output. Just need to be sure the charge controller has

What you are making is very much like an artist's air brush, the kind used for very small and detailed work. The amount of air thy use is tiny. Some are controlled with a foot switch and others with a mechanical button on the "brush" The amount of air used is so tiny you can just let the air

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

Yes, those solder station use an air pumps are not unlike an aquarium air pump. Maybe that is enough, all you need is enough air to cary the mist of atomized droplets. Another place to look is "air brush" pumps. These are designed to power tiny paint guns and to run all day long. They are

Greetings all; I took a small air pump out of a failed solder rework unit last afternoon, find it to be some sort of a vibrator tuned to 60 hz, with a small diaphram on both sides of the solenoid. So this doesn't seem like enough air to drive a mister. Looking at fleabay, I find, for about
