Thank you all for the great discussion! And for sharing your knowledge and personal experience.

"I really do use coconut oil for cutting oil in the machine shop. It works as well as any I've used, and doesn't stink the place up. A machinist showed me that trick around 1985."

Thank you for the good suggestion! I'll bet it is a tad less expensive than the cutting oil I've been using. :-)
