Any suggestions for water based cutting fluid?

If you must use toilet water then I would use Blaser Vasco 1000.

Here's part of a post I made a couple of years ago.

========================================================== I thought this was interesting enough to share. I'm using a Mitsubishi 3/4" dia. 3 insert end mill, cutting some 2" X 2" X 2" 17-4 PH stainless parts, roughing about 2/3 of the material away. The inserts were lasting about 3 parts with copious amounts of flood coolant directed on the cutter and the part. Today I changed the program to cut the parts dry, with no coolant at all, with no change in speeds/feeds for that cutter. Now the inserts are lasting about 8 parts. ==========================================================

Now admittedly, this is milling (with the intermittent thermal shock of an end mill). But you might call your tooling supplier and ask him about turning dry. Perhaps with ceramic inserts.
