Thanks Mathew. The stuff I was looking at is Kool Mist from KBC Tools. https://www.kbctools.ca/itemdetail/1-437-771
For the band saw I have Powerfist cutting oil marked for mixing 5:1 to 100:1. https://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/cutting-oil-coolant/A-p8034012e Could I use the PA stuff as mist coolant or is it more suited to flood? The mill I have has flood coolant but I've never used it. Read about bacterial growth and smell. No way to easily add an expensive disk oil separator. Possibly a belt oil separator into the fill hole might work. Thing is the machine shop may go unused for months at a time.
