Isn't a mist spray of paraffin a ghastly accident looking for ignition?
Not saying you shouldn't, but I nearly lost my eyebrows spark eroding with paraffin electrolyte when I broke through in to a cavity.

I found it in the end ;)
Yes i have doubts about the safety of such things but there are people running alcohol, methylated spirits and all manner of deadly stuff on misters - the mind boggles.
That was one of the reasons i did not want to fog mist it - bigger droplets are harder to ignite.
WD40 seems popular, ignites just as easily and is just as flamable but smells a little nicer.
Nobody seems worried about breathing the stuff. You really need to run these things in an enclosure, with an extractor fan to the outside air (but you are not supposed to do that if you are industrial:beaten:)
I might just change to suds - either mist or flood.
Cutting the nozzle off seems to have helped stopped the fog but need to see if it still clears the chips.
The mess that these machines create surprised me, I'm used to manual milling which can throw chips at times but these tend to disappear in a cloud of chips all round ;)
MDF is a bitch, end-of. ;)
