Abstract
An apparatus and method are disclosed for controlling the rate of application of a machine tool to a work piece by compressing a lubricating agent, and then distributing the compressed lubricating agent to lubricate and cool a cutting point of the machine tool. A rod (15) translates axial forces from the machine tool (170) to compress a lubricating agent provided in a compression chamber (70). The pressurization of the lubricating agent creates a counter force to regulate the motion of the machine tool (170), and also forces a lubricating mist out of an exhaust opening (75) which can be directed by an air passage (80) to any point where lubrication is desired.
