It seems that for your reasoning a mist system is more valuable.Hello ya'll. do many of ya'll have experience with those water cooled platens? How much do they help with overheating a blade while grinding? I have to be very careful not to turn color on the edge while grinding.
Personally I use about 30 psi to get more water on the belt and less in the air... Otherwise my shop gets foggy lol
I don't have any issues now really... But if that was a concern I would just run a dehumidifier probablyThat's what I was wondering/worried about.
I don't want mold and rust issues in my basement
Glad you mentioned that Stacy - I'd not even considered the problem with a vacuum system running. I'll make sure to turn the vac system OFF when using the mister. Looks like it's to be delivered today.One thing I will add is the water spray or heavy mist can really muck up a vacuum system. It mixes with the grit and dust and coats the insides of hoses, pipes, and collection containers. It can also get back to the blower/impeller if you don't have a good catch bucket or spark bong. This is not a "don't do it", but something to watch out for.
that's the platen chiller I have, works great, I do not use the mister on it because I already had one that worked great with my air compressor. I also use their radius platen.
- Ken you also could pick up this at some point... it is a platen chiller AND a mister and/or flood unit. Contender makes it.
