Cyclone Drill for Aluminium 5× Diameter
The M.A. Ford CDACR3680 is a solid-carbide drill built for aluminium and non-ferrous alloys. Its 5× diameter flute length and two-flute geometry suit production runs that need straight, accurate holes in soft, sticky materials.
Coolant-Fed Design Controls Heat and Chips
Internal coolant passages deliver fluid to the cutting zone, reducing thermal buildup and evacuating chips from deep holes. The uncoated carbide substrate resists built-up edge common in aluminium, keeping cutting forces steady during extended cycles.
Replaces Standard Twist Drills in High-Volume
Shops moving from conventional HSS or uncoated carbide drills gain longer tool life and tighter hole tolerance. The step up is justified when cycle time and hole quality outweigh the higher initial cost per tool.

Questions about this item
How do I install the M.A. Ford CDACR3680 Cyclone Drill in my coolant-fed drilling system?
Mount the drill in a compatible holder, connect the coolant feed to the through-tool channel, and verify alignment before starting the spindle.
What maintenance or replacement will the CDACR3680 need after extended use in aluminum?
Inspect the two cutting edges for wear or chipping; resharpen or replace the drill when hole quality or feed force degrades.
What limit appears first when running the 3680 drill continuously in aluminum at 5X diameter?
Heat buildup at the cutting edges typically limits sustained performance before the coolant-fed design reaches its capacity.
