Blade lubricant safety

Anyone else use washing-Up Liquid? @Big J suggested that to me when milling Larch etc. i use it all the time now. It also keeps the blade nice and clean.

 

Ive also seen folk suggesting Car Wax Shampoo. Ive used this as well. The idea being you get the cleaning/cutting action of the Washing-up liquid but also the waxing properties to prevent rust on the blades etc. It seems to work too.

I use "Plantoil" band saw blade emulsion, fully biodegradable within 21 days, costing £170.00 inc vat for 500litres.

It  would go further if the mix was weakened down from 20:1, so even cheaper/litre.

Why would you use anything other than something made for the job if you are at all concerned about health and welfare and possible  ground contamination?
