I bet your Bridgeport is faster than my Denford Nova Mill. It is running on Mach3 software, which is great but being in the "shed", I do all the milling dry as I can't cope with cutting oil or its gradual migration into the house. It's bad enough having to vacuum the kitchen to stem the approach of fine aluminium chips and swarf!
I have to use a limited amount of cutting oil to drill and it's a pain. I often choose to mill a pocket rather than drill a hole. I have an air blast aimed at the cutter to clear the chips.
