Mist Collectors

[cincy k]

What's everyone using for mist collectors? What are some of the goods and bads with the various different ones you've used?  I have 3 40 x 20 VMCs and 1 8" chuck lathe that I would like to add mist collectors to. Anything in particular to stay away from? Anyone have experience with Mistaway?

We have these on most of our machines, they work great, and are an extremely simple design.

We also have the Airflow systems on our larger horizontal mills

I like the royals better because they are so simple and compact. But i don't think they work that well on larger machines.

We also use the royal filters on our lathes and swiss machines. They have high pressure so there is a lot of mist to suck up and they do the job well. However, they definitely do better on water-based coolant that oil-based.
