I need to make some cuts in metal with a hole saw, and don't have any light weight cutting oil. Is there anything around the house I could use as a substitute? I was thinking that maybe cooking spray would work.

I have seen people use motor oil in both a metal cutting bandsaw and for use as a lube while drilling through some half-inch steel plate.

Sperm. I should've not said it as it'd put me in a serious danger from the government.
Anyway, I have this urge to let the public know about this secret project.
Government has been secretly running this sperm factory somewhere in Nevada. Thousands and thousands of people are captured in that factory to produce enough sperm to dominate/support world's mobile industry.
Soon, it'll be prohibited to masterbate. Any activity that might result in producing sperm, not to mention wet dreams, will be prosecuted under a new law in order to control the sperm quota.
Chosen people along with porn stars will be captured; their life time job would be doing boing boing forever and ever. All the hot chicks and female celebrities will have to do a required service for them to produce fine American sperm.(Based on personal tastes, alternative options will be available as well. Ex: Kids for Micheal Jackson kind)
Any nations that produce better/more sperm will be invaded and prisioner will have no option but to boing boing for America.
I've already organized an underground organization to fight back and to make profit. Like me, do not encounter any sexual activities. Save your sperm. Milk it only when the time is right. Save it. Keep it in a lock box. Be rich while fighting back. May force be with you.

EDIT: I missed the 'cutting' part of the title. I thought you were talking about oil substitutes. Anyway, you have my words.

Vegetable oil! It will work fine, but stink when it burns. Motor oil is an even better choice.

Motor oil, but it will work better if it's a bit lighter weight.... say 5W-30 or so.

cooking oil might work. I use that on my saws to cut treated wood and it works well.

If it needs to be wet, notfred's probably right.. anything would be better than nothing.

Surely you have some WD-40 or at least engine oil around?

Candle wax?

I've only done some light-duty cutting through metal, but WD-40 has worked fine for that. I second the WD-40 recommendation. Or, really, any penetrating oil will work.
