Coolant to mix with water for Fogbuster
I usually use Kero in a squirter bottle when machining Aluminium, but since I bought a Fogbuster I have just been using water.
I think I would get better results if I could find a water soluable coolant to use in the Fogbuster.
Anybody know if anything available in Australia, that works well? I'd use kero if I could get it to dissolve in water...lol

Thanks Tiller, Does the Metho help with machining or just cooling?
I sent an equiry to Unist Australia, but being so close to Xmas not replay yet....

Had another look around their website and it appears that their 2210AL Coolant my be the ticket.
Will see what they say.

Metho is a known lubricant for machining aluminium.
You may be advised to walk home rather than drive at the end of the day though!
Me, I use 3 parts kero : 1 part olive oil in a pulsed MQL system, with air blast. Short pulses rather than a continuous stream. A small bottle of the mix lasts for AGES. And the oil is bio-compatible. The kero evaporates away.
Cheers
