Cutting oil dispenser
Joules:
John, there are some nice little gear pumps used by the model jet engine people. Whilst the pumps are expensive they can meter very accurately and upto high pressures. If only someone could cut small accurate gears. :poke:
Joules:
Oh yeah, fog on the Tyne is fine all fine, but not in my bloody workshop. No rush, use a brush.
John Stevenson:
I'm OK for pumps, I rescued about 5 out of some metering system a few years ago, just got to link a small dc motor to one, the round2it syndrome
AdeV:
Hmm, I bought a pile of cheap peristaltic pumps a while back, for a different project that's now on hold... they're only cheapo Chinese $5 ones, but they seem moderately accurate. whether they'd generate any pressure or not... who knows. Interesting thought...
The mister was something Bogs made many moons ago, a simple nozzle, he then blasted air through it & used the differential pressure to pick up tiny amounts of some fancy cutting fluid. I call it a mister... it didn't leave a visible fog, just a few drops "condensed" onto the part being cut. I suspect the air did the majority of the cooling, the fluid just adding a little lubrication.
DICKEYBIRD:
A 2- stroke Suzuki 125cc dirt bike oil injection pump driven by a 12vdc auto power blind motor works great on my ORAC lathe retrofit. Post #13 in the link: http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,22258.msg177119.html#msg177119 Easy & cheap!
