Air blast for mill

[kvom]

I got this setup from McMaster in order to get chip clearance without needed to hold the air hose:

The base has a strong (25lb) magnet and 5 theaded 1/4NPT holes (plugs supplied). Ordered this and a nozzle kit, plus an assembly tool for snapping the pieces together. The single nozzle really blows hard, so I doubt I'll need any more.

Good idea but take good care of your eyes.Please wear safety glass.

I use air gun once a while to clean mill but took precaution to prevent high volume air blast by puttting in a 2mm orifice.

I've done the same thing, starting with one of these for $11.00 and making my own mount.

I run it for deep milling and slotting. Works good with my air regulator set at about 10 psi.

I got the whole deal in a Loc-line manifold kit. Just stuck it to the mill. Great stuff. Thanks Kvom
