If you really dont want mist in the air there was an article in an old magazine, I think HOME SHOP MACHINIST about building a solenoid operated pump with a nozzle held by a mag base and pointed at the work. It used a 555 timer IC to generate a tiny pump stroke every few seconds. This directed just a drop of coolant right on the tool edge, and with a simple knob you adjust the rate to get just enough coolant.
This one has been 'on my list' for a while, I think its the best approach for a home shop. Someday Ill actually get around to it. ron ginger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
