bombman hope i get to answer your question. . As u know my friendly workers are all chinese and a banglasdesh and they are not vv educated person. Only as far as i know they managed to tell me that milk is a type of oil. They always tread that as a milk whenever they do cutting
So luckily Dr.Google makes me more easier to tell the exactly name.

The milk= ( cutting oil).

Description:Cutting Oils are designed to improve quality and throughput
of work, reduce friction, be an effective coolant and significantly
increase tool life.

Yes u can add water. When cutting u doesn need too much of that oil. Thats wasting...

Maybe u could find more at those hardware or drilling shop.
