I realize the water gets nasty pretty quick, but like I said this is hobby use. Might cut a few carbon pieces a month or so. What about the aluminum? I'm assuming you don't use vacuum for that right? I do plan to build a diy fogbuster type setup for milling the aluminum.
What would you guys do in my case?
