For intermittent lubrication with an acid brush or hand sprayer, I minimize the mess by placing a 5 gallon plastic bucket under the vise. It catches drips and also the cutoff pieces. Personally, I have not had troubles with swarf buildup on the guides, but I do brush them occasionally between cuts to keep it from building up. Swarf on the blade wheels doesn't seem to be a problem for me.
