I had tried several types of mist systems and every one of them woudl
fill the shop with fog. While visiting the Westech tool sho I ran
across a mister from Hench Manufacturing which claimed to eliminate
the fogging problem.

This system is similar to the others except for the fact that the
coolant tank is presurized and the coolant is fed into the air stream
under pressure. I guess that this eliminates the atomization that
occurs in the other systems. I have been using it for over 3 years
now and have never had a fog problem.

Here is a web site with some info:
