"About ten years ago, misting used to be a serious problem in our model shop, as a foul smelling cloud would literally hang in the air around each machine. This was particularly true in a manufacturing plant such as ours as we have many machining applications that require coolant. Switching to a device called Fog Buster (Hench Mfg. Inc., San Clemente, CA), has eliminated misting problems in our shop." This was the comment by Martin Spangler, machinist in the model shop at Beckman Coulter's Fullerton manufacturing facility.
