Many do cut dry. I'm' 50-50: if it's a "large" piece, I'll lube with
wax, else I'll let it go as is. I'd love to have a mess-less drip
system, but the setup would probably be too much for my meager usage.
Frankly, I don't know what wax really does - it lubes, granted, but to
me it's not a good coolant not is it good for chip evacuation (I've seen
'em come back around and stack up, wax 'n all, at the beginning of the
cut).
Graciously,

Jim,
Got a chance to open my saw today... and yes, there were a lot of chips
on and around the wheels. I don't know if these will effect the
operation of the saw. Seems that I had these chips with other lubes, but
don't remember if the amount was less or the same.
It would be nice if we could cut every thing without lube! 8-)
