Milk is an emulsion of fat in water, right?  That's what they use in
horizontal bandsaws as a lube, pumped over the kerf, so I suppose this
would work. "

   Right on milk.  However, the lubricant you mention is probably 
"soluable oil", available at tool supply houses.  Not milk and 
doesn't sour.  It does accumulate on tool parts and eventually 
there's a gummy mess that's hard to clean off, so frequent cleaning 
is in order.  Don't know whether or not it could craze plastics.
