Use used motor oil dissolved in alcohol like isopropyl. Thinner oil allows you to cut. Thick oil requires more pressure or slower speed to cut. But regardless, anything is better than nothing. Heck, even water works and it works great, except it can cause machine rust. However you can mix water and downy soap and that works great too.

I don't drill metal very often, but when I do I usually use water. Keeps the temperature down and is much easier to clean up.
