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.
It isnt that critical, unless you are cutting something like stainless
steel (use heavy cutting oil like Mobilmet). I use Rustlick WS-5050 soluble
oil for just about everything. Use a fairly concentrated solution to prevent
undue rusting and staining of iron surfaces.
