You mentioned your shop is air conditioned, how cool does it get? The reason I ask, is that I have worked in shops that were very cold all day, then at the end of the day the AC was turned off and the metal in the machines was so cool it condenced moisture as it warmed up to room temp! That was the source of the rust problem in that shop!
As for KoolMist, it's too expensive to use as a flood, its designed to be atomized, and non bio-hazard for the person breathing it in! Flood however, is much thicker, and has more parafin desolved in it to lubricate the cutter and keep the chips from sticking!
Go to Enco and look for coolants, they have a couple good mixes, at reasonable prices!
