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?

Tom, honestly I do not know, it will be a shop drill press for
everything. We do not manufacture anything (though I have an idea to
make phase converters). Mostly it will be used for regular steel.

OK, i would go with oil. That what i use, don't have to worry about
rusting or staining of parts.

Best Regards
Tom.
