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



Im a big big fan of oils..but if you can use soluble and keep the
concentrations correct..it works well also.

If you let it thin out...it will take off all the paint and rust it
into a boat anchor.
