You may want to source a different coolant. According to The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), IPA has a flash point of 53 F [CDC - NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards - Isopropyl alcohol](https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0359.html).

I’ve used NAPA Cutting and Grinding Oil [https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/WLD7651526](https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/WLD7651526) for milling aluminum with great success. It’s available in other sizes than that shown in the link.

I hope this helps.
