M.A. Ford Cyclone Drill 1660
The M.A. Ford CDACR1660 is a new Cyclone drill built for aluminium. It uses a 5× diameter design with two flutes and internal coolant feed. This tool targets machinists who need efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials.
Upgrade from standard twist drills
Conventional drills often struggle with deep holes in aluminium because chips pack the flutes. The 5× length and coolant-fed design clear swarf continuously, reducing cycle time and preventing tool breakage. The jump is worth it when hole depth exceeds three diameters.
Suited for high-volume aluminium work
Shops running dedicated aluminium lines will gain consistent hole quality and longer tool life. Buyers who need more storage for varied diameters or builders who need a second card for multi-material setups should look at modular indexable systems instead.

Questions about this item
What shank size does the CDACR1660 need for a secure fit in the holder?
The drill uses a standard shank that matches the 1660 series holder; ensure the collet or chuck is clean and rated for the same diameter before tightening.
How is the coolant-fed drill installed and what step is often missed?
Mount the drill in the holder, connect the coolant line to the through-tool port, then verify flow before starting the spindle; skipping the flow check is the common error.
Which part of the Cyclone drill will need replacement first under normal use?
The two cutting edges wear first; plan to resharpen or replace the drill when flank wear reaches the limit for your aluminium alloy.
