    Thanks guys,

    Sage advice as usual.

    BTW - if you have time I have a couple of other areas I'm looking into:

    1. I have a spray gun (also powers my airbrush) compressor and was thinking of using this for tool cooling/chip blowing - I notice Jazz you mentioned misting in another thread and am guessing this is just essentially atomising lubricant/cooling fluid into the air stream? I should be able to whip up a suitable nozzle if that's the case.

    2. I'm also looking to run a 2.2Kw water cooled spindle with an arrangment of PC cooling rads (2xdual 120mm left overs from PC watercooling), which should bring the water in the curcuit+tank down to ambient air temperature. The tank will likely be somewhere around the 10-15L capacity mark, dependant on the room I have left under the workbench.

    Yep but warn you it can use plenty of air so if it's a small tank then expect it to be going all the time and watch for it overheating.? With a bit of playing around with nozzle sizes you can get a nice flow and limit the CFM used. Can't help on the nozzle size has I now use dedicated misting unit which is a fancy spinning thing-a-mi-bob with loads of tiny nozzles.!

    These things don't get very hot even after hours of use so don't get silly with the cooling and rads etc.? My simple submersible pump dropped in 20ltr drum works a treat, it can and does run for 20hrs+ continuous without any trouble.! . . But if you read about my Mister you'll probably seen I've posted that before as well.? . . Keep it simple.!!
