Morning,
I thought about mentioning what fluid I use, but had a brain burp, probably from all those clorothanes and other toxic chemicals I've inhaled over the years.
I personaly recommend Boelube water soluble, you would most likely want to use a 20:1 mixture.
The stuff works great for all around machining, I have no problem with rancidity, smell or skin irritation, protects from rusting and best of all it's cheap money.
I use it with my fogbusters and in my big machine (HAAS VF-OE).
Just a footnote: Boelube was developed by Boeing aircraft company, and they machine alot of aluminum!
It's not all science, it's art
