Drops are OK, but a continuous true micro-stream would probably serve the
cause optimally.

For parting I apply the cutting oil at the bottom of the groove with a
needle oiler bottle. It's inconvenient to do but gives good results
with a minimum of oil and no extra plumbing or air pollution. The rate
is perhaps a drop every 5 - 10 seconds and the chip carries almost all
of it away. I'm ambidextrous enough to hold the bottle in place with
one hand and feed evenly with the other, otherwise a grease gun needle
point on a hose might work.
