They work really well with a mag mount base on the ShopBot tools.

This is coming from a team that has been sponsored by ShopBot Tools for a couple years. We're huge fans.

There's some issues I can see with this - all of them non-issues for skilled operators with a proper setup.

1. Noise both from the compressor and this gear.
2. Nozzle position - it has to be aimed correctly because you are cooling air and air is not as good a thermal conductor as say water.

So while I am all for this if you do it right, and it certainly removes the risk of spraying mist everywhere, it's also hard to see you didn't put the air where you wanted it.
