Yeah. Whyn't keep a 100 lb. block of ice next to the vise on your drill press

drill into it to cool those bits off nicely.

Interesting.
"Water-soluble oil" sounds almost an oxymoron. Do you have any trade names?
Also, a supplementary question: Is there any benefit in keeping the cooling
fluid as cool as possible? By that I mean for instance dropping ice cubes
into the container prior to starting drilling?
