+1 on Hozzie's comments. I have a HF 7 x 12 that came with coolant. I use bi-metal blades and run TrimSol coolant. The only time it can get messy is if I'm cutting tubing. My saw isn't level and once the blade gets through the top edge, coolant works its way down the tubing and on the floor.
Is the coolant necessary? Probably not as I can count on one finger how often I've used it on my Grizzly G0709 lathe. I wipe/drip oil instead of using flood coolant. I do the same thing on my Bridgeport. My Tormach CNC has flood coolant, use it all of the time and run TrimSol also.
