Default Cutting oil or coolant for drill press

A company gave me this drill press.

I will actually use it instead of scrapping, and my question is, is it
better to use soluble coolant, or cutting oil on it.

thanks

Your question is filled with variables.

Material to be drilled?
Drill RPM?
Feed rate?
Do you want to cool the drill or lubricate it?

Best Regards
Tom.
