Re: Cooling fluids
My table is very similar to yours-just a bit more surface area. I placed the bucket in the back corner-then bundled the wiring and tubing together and suspended it from the ceiling so it was free to move with the gantry.

Re: Milling aluminum
Single flutes are designed for aluminum to enable large chip loads and to rapidly lift the chip away. If one uses multiple flutes, or resort to small chip loads and or slow feed rates the result will be increased wear on the cutter.
