This is a particularly elegant solution! With or without spray mist.

If the tubing tip is attached to the cutting tool/toolpost itself, provides
constant coolant at the cutter's edge, at almost any flow rate--depending on
how high yer ceiling is...
No motors, air, hassle. Just gravity!
I probably will kluge up a loc-line ditty here. Too bad the smallest they
make (I think) is 1/4"--but, they have pretty fine tips.

Oh yeah, and a pulley/rope for the can--I got high ceilings!
Also could have multiple coffee cans, just switch lines around, for alum,
steel, etc.
Very nice!

--One trick: if you've got a long cut to make and the spray mist
stuff is too thin, rig an old coffee can with a valve and attach a length
of
model airplane fuel line tubing or similar to it. Position the can high on
the mill so it's got gravity to aid flow. Fasten the tube to the top
of the spray mist nozzle, ending maybe an inch or two from the end. Turn
on
the heavy oil and it'll ooze down to the end of the spraymist without
dripping, then it'll get blasted onto the part along with whatever mist
you're shooting. I've done this many times and it beats the heck out of
stuffing a brush in there every ten seconds for half an hour..
