The pump from the soldering station is some sort of a scroll pump with very little pressure ability, which when its 50L a minute air delivery is sent thru a ball point pen tip looks as if its good enough as far as flow but lack of pressure concerns me. I found the maker in china and it sells for $6.70 in 10,000 lots minimum order. So I went looking for something with more pressure and found this one.

And it had a get sample button, so obviously I hit it. I'll let folks know when it has arrived. Needs around an amp at 12 volts. And std mister nozzles will need mods to better the atomizing. Those el-cheapo gizmo's are very profligate with their use of air. Burns up a $125 HF 2hp air compressor. This makes far more sense for smaller machines spinning 1/8" tooling.
