Mist oiler cutting fluid

[balsaman]

What oil, that is available at a regular hardware store, can I use in my new mist oiler system that:

Works well for cutting both aluminum and steel.
doesn't smell too bad.
doesn't go rancid.
doesn't cost a fortune.

I was thinking maybe transmission fluid or kerosene, but kerosene is a bit smelly.

Anyone?

Dude,

Balsaman, don't settle for some cheap local hardware store concoction at the expense of your resperatory health! Or for that mater, save your wife from the stench of your clothing smelling like an old oil sump arm pit. I think us guys, and sometimes gals, don't realize how bad we stink from the coolant we are in contact with. You kind of get used to it, or your sense of smell goes away, I'm not sure...

My advice, don't skrimp on your health,
