Greetings Roger,
There are several types of water soluble coolant that are good for
sawing. I assume you will be using such a small amount it doesn't
really matter what you use. So here's a suggestion: Look for a saw
blade supplier in your area. Just buy the cheapest stuff they have.
Rust-Lick makes a good coolant that sells in 1 gallon containers. It
will need to be diluted about 20 to 1 so 1 gallon lasts a long time. I
personally use a pretty benign formulation in all my machines but it
is only available starting in 5 gallon buckets. It's Blasocut 2000cf.
But I used Ruct-Lick in my saw for years before I switched.
Cheers,
Eric

I use this stuff. I dilute it on the thinner end of the scale. Lasts a
while.

Does anyone remember the Brungarians? They were the bad guys in the Tom
Swift Jr books. They always wore dark, ill-fitting suits...

Ah, yes. Brungarians. OTOH, I *don't* recall Tom & Bud having to chase
$#$$# Airworthiness Certificates every time they wanted to fly some
bizzare contraption. Or burning the midnight oil writing
documentation.
