Is your special cutter a "Spiral Flute"?
I've been using an aerosol stainless steel cleaner as a coolant. Does a good job of prolonging cutter life and isn't as messy as cutting oil.
Clean the plate with a rag and it's ready to color-fill.

Hi David
take your dishwashing liquid, cut it 50/50 with water and use it as a lubricant. I do it all the time. Rub your fingers across the plate after your finished to check for burrs. if its free of burrs just go wash it off
