Greetings all; Where can I find a mister assembly with a tip 1/4 the size of the common tip used with the bendable linked coax hosing everybody sells for around $10 USD a copy.
Working on the heat sink yesterday I wrote an M7 as I started the cut run, with an M9 at the end so I wasn't wasting fluid when backed away doing the retrace motions. But by the time I got the pressures and flows about right, and my finger was getting damp when held downwind of the tool, I had a drop of fluid hanging on the tip, not being broken into a mist, but only occasionally slobbered in the general direction of the tool. I need an inner tip much less than 4mm in diameter, perhaps 2mm at the most, and the air cone surrounding it having a reduced to maybe .1mm clearance to the center, liquid orifices OD. Such a "half scale" tip would still adequately wet the small tools, up to 1/4" used in a 6040 gantry, while reducing the liquid usage a lot. Do I have to make it? My misting setup is too complex IMO, I have a cheap pressure regulator in the hose from the air compressor, dropping it to around 4 or 5 psi, that feeds the outer hose, and goes on to a 7Oz coke bottle by way of another cheap regulator to pressurize the bottle and push fluid out of it, into a 10 foot coil of the smallest capillary tubeing I cold get for flow restriction, and that is delivered to the block on the spindle motor bracket and thence to the inner hose into the nozzle. So it dribbles slowly out of the nozzle at about a drop a second and is broken up by the air flow from the outer cone. Far too complex for no better a misting job than it does. It also keeps the air compressor too busy. Can I buy a better one? Where? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
