Sorry this took so long......

I got so tired of wasting WD40, spraying way too much, or forgetting to spray, etc, so I created this simple little device. It provides a little WD40 exactly where it needs to be in the right amount for cutter lubrication, and improved surface finish on Aluminum. You can mount this on any CNC make and model Hobby type CNC machine, you just need to make the appropriate mount.
Does it help cutters last? Well I am still using the SAME 1/4inch 4 flute end mill that I bought for the machine back in Nov 2015.
I HIGHLY recommend that you ONLY use coated cutters.
As always, leave me a message if you have any questions.
