Lathe coolant applicators

[lucerneParticipant @lucerne]

So I’ve got a Boxford pump for my CUD and now I’d like to plumb it in.

Whats the best current bet for the coolant applicator / tap? Theres a bewildering selection of nozzles and applicators on amazon and the like, misters, magentic bases, multiple heads….what do I need for simple DIY machining operations, mostly aluminium?

 

Thanks Neil

Mostly aluminium WD40 or kerosene. can be gravity fed from small tank on the wall (mine are ex screenwasher tanks). For the rest I use neatcut in the same manner. hypodermic needles help to control the amount(with a tap) attach to a piece of locline
