Seeking Input From Fogbuster Owners

Does that clamp on the right hold the tube?

I just measured some parts on the table from the headstock and found only one place I could get the magnetic head to work, so I think this isn't very likely to work for me. That's it hanging upside down next to the spindle.

some of us have made Spindle mounted lights. perhaps you could make a bracket the clamps on the spindle housing that the Fog Buster can mount to instead of using a Magnet, or use the spindle clamp to hold a piece of steel that the magnet can hold on to.

I think that just a collar around the non-rotating part of the spindle that I could mount it to with hardware would be a good thing.
 
A check with Fogbuster shows they have a conversion kit to turn my one sprayer kit into a two sprayer kit. It's not on the website, but they tell me it's $180.
 
Drill a hole in the casting and screw the mag base arm into it.

There is a nice 3D printed adapter that lets you put the fogbuster nozzle on a locline. It was on a NYCNC video about 40 seconds in:

Wow there real proud of those things, is there enough pressure to blow the chips out
 
I feel it does a good enough job of chip removal but I don't try to push for the maximum speed possible and Chip removal is probably what limits me from going faster. I would expect Flood coolant would be best for maximum chip removal. I find the Fog Buster easy to use, instant on (unlike the coolmist system) and does well enough for all my needs.

I am going to look into the 3d printed adapter to the locline system

Interesting approach. The Loc Line just is a cover for the two hoses going the Fogbuster. The Fogbuster works the same way, and the output 1/8" tube is still the same, it just makes positioning it easier.

Which is a good thing. Not sure it would work on the Grizzly.

I have a G0704 and I use the mini mag base stuck on the bottom of the control box.
