Added an air solenoid to also turn on air to the mister when spindle turns on. This will keep the air compressor from running after the cut is complete.
With the new mods, I don't have to be so attentive to the machine when a cycle completes.
Messy wiring which I will clean up a bit but going for function over form as the wiring is inside the control box and reasonably protected.
