    Uograde my wd40 + shop vac cooling system to mist

    So holding a can of wd40 and a shopvac while my machine is running just seems silly. And it is. What is the cheapest and easiest way to get mist cooling? I have a x2 converted mill. I am milling almosy exclusively aluminum. I am looking at picking up an air compressor soon from HF. Any suggestions or recomedations for a cheap easy and containable mist system?

    There is a DIY build here in a past using a expired propane cylinder.
    It is also on the Machining drop box.
    I may have the links somewhere.
