greets all.. before I potentially waste a few hours reinventing the wheel thought I'd post an 'idea'
I'd like to try as a stop-gap before I build an official mist coolant system for my cnc router.
i currently have an air loc line going right to the cutting area.. i'm thinking about adding a drip oiler
(gravity + ball valve) and T-ing right into the loc line. . . figuring a drop of oil now and again in the
air jet will do the job.
but i'm wondering if this will work and two doubts -- for anyone who might've tried this:
1. will i just end up coating the inside of my loc line and blowing back into my oil can?
2. will the venturi effect over power my drip and just suck my oil can dry in no time?
thoughts/suggestions appreciated. i'm gathering parts for a proper mist system; i'm hoping for
a temporary solution while I get those together.
Thanks!
