Dave, Erik: I don't know how its going to work just yet, but see my web page at <http://gene.homelinux.net:85/gene/emc> and look for the *mister.png's I just took, and cropped down to only 1/10th of the frame the camera took, I wasn't able to convince it to focus any closer than about 7". I also didn't get it well centered in that little block of brass either. And I need to drill a mounting hole, or just go ahead and attach a 1/4" tube to the angled pipe and mount that similarly to the current blow only rig which is strung thru a large electrical lug on the side of the mill's head housing. The straight thru that ends in the 1/16" OD is a tight friction fit, so the projection can be fiddled with. The oil reservoir will be a $12.95 air filter, with the oil hose attached to the 'automatic' drain valve, and the air hose output will go on through to the angled air feed pipe. I haven't been to the grocery store for some Safflower oil yet. The soldering isn't my usual quality, I seem to have miss-placed my little tin of resin soldering flux that makes sweat soldering so easy. A eutectic blend with 3% silver, it should be strong enough though. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
