Cyclone Drill for Aluminium
The M.A. Ford CDACR1562 Cyclone Drill is engineered for aluminium machining with a 5X diameter flute length and two-flute geometry. Coolant-fed channels deliver lubricant directly to the cutting zone for improved chip evacuation. It targets CNC operators and job shops that require deep-hole capability in non-ferrous materials.
Two-flute coolant-fed design
The two-flute layout creates wide chip gullets that prevent clogging when drilling aluminium at high feed rates. Internal coolant passages reduce heat buildup and flush chips from deep holes without peck cycles. This construction supports consistent hole quality and extends tool life in production environments where unattended machining is common.
Upgrade from standard twist drills
The 5X reach and through-coolant design replace conventional drills that struggle with chip packing in deep aluminium holes. The jump is worth it when cycle time and hole straightness matter more than tool cost per unit. Shops without through-spindle coolant capability cannot use the internal feed feature.

Questions about this item
Does the CDACR1562 use a standard shank that fits common drill chucks?
The drill uses a straight shank compatible with standard three-jaw chucks and collet holders.
What clearance is needed for the coolant-fed channels on this 5X drill?
The through-tool coolant holes require a machine spindle or holder with internal coolant delivery.
How is the Cyclone drill installed in a CNC turret, and what step is often missed?
Secure the shank fully in the holder, then verify coolant flow through the flutes before starting the cycle.
