[Land-speed] Cutting Oil

[neil at dbelltech.com]

Dick;

If you are drilling aluminum, kerosene is excellent and about as cheap as
you can get. If you want a hole in exactly the right place, center punch
that location. Enjoy the drill press and clamp your work to the table for
safety.

Santa just made an early visit and dropped of a nice new drill press and set
of bits.  She also warned me that I'd "better treat this one right".
   
  Anybody got any old family secrets for cutting oil to use with a drill
press?  I've always used whatever was available:   WD-40, 3-in-1, auto
transmission fluid, power steering fluid, left-over motor oil, etc, and
these are probably not the greatest and best choices.
