Cyclone Drill Aluminum 5X 2 Flute
The M.A. Ford CDACR1285 is a coolant-fed drill designed for aluminium machining. Its 5X length and two-flute geometry suit production environments that need deep-hole capability in non-ferrous materials. The tool targets CNC operators and job-shop machinists who require consistent chip evacuation without manual intervention.
Sustained load behaviour
Coolant fed through the shank flushes chips continuously during extended cuts, preventing packing in the flutes. The aluminium-specific geometry maintains edge integrity when the drill runs at high feed rates for long periods. Heat is carried away by the fluid stream rather than building up in the workpiece or tool body.
Upgrade context
Replaces standard twist drills that rely on external flood coolant or peck cycles to clear deep holes. The jump is worth it when cycle time matters and hole depths exceed typical 3X lengths. Not for shops without through-spindle coolant capability or for materials other than aluminium alloys.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the CDACR1285 generate during extended drilling in aluminum?
The cyclone flute design evacuates chips efficiently, reducing friction and heat buildup during prolonged 5X depth drilling operations.
What machine setup is required to use the coolant-fed feature on this drill?
A CNC or machining centre with through-spindle coolant capability is needed to deliver cutting fluid through the internal channels of the CDACR1285.
Will the CDACR1285 fit a standard ER collet holder on an older milling machine?
The drill uses a common shank diameter compatible with standard ER collets found on most legacy and current milling machines.
