Aluminium-specific drill design
The M.A. Ford CDACR1360 Cyclone drill targets aluminium machining with a five-times-diameter flute length and a two-flute geometry. Coolant-fed channels deliver lubricant directly to the cutting zone for chip evacuation. It suits CNC operators and job-shop machinists who need reliable holes in non-ferrous alloys.
Heat and power in normal use
Coolant-fed operation keeps cutting temperatures low during extended drilling cycles in aluminium. The two-flute design reduces cutting forces compared with higher-flute tools, lowering spindle load and motor current draw. Stable chip formation prevents built-up edge that would increase friction and acoustic noise.
Shank and coolant integration
A standard cylindrical shank fits common ER collets, Weldon flats or hydraulic holders without proprietary adapters. The internal coolant passage requires a through-coolant tool holder or a compatible spindle interface to function. Shops without through-spindle coolant capability cannot use the feed feature. Prop 65 warnings apply.

Questions about this item
How do I install the CDACR1360 Cyclone Drill and what step is often missed?
Mount the drill in a compatible coolant-fed holder, align the two-flute shank precisely, then connect the coolant supply before starting — skipping the coolant connection causes immediate overheating in aluminium.
What maintenance or replacement will the CDACR1360 need later?
The two cutting edges wear evenly; plan to regrind or replace the drill once flank wear reaches the threshold for your hole tolerance — no other consumable parts exist.
What limit appears first during sustained drilling with the CDACR1360?
Heat buildup at the cutting zone becomes the limiting factor; without continuous coolant flow the 5× length amplifies temperature rise and degrades edge life rapidly.
