CDACRM0310 Cyclone Aluminum Drill
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0310 is a solid-carbide drill engineered for high-volume aluminium machining. Its 5× diameter flute length and two-flute geometry target production shops that need deep, accurate holes in non-ferrous alloys. The coolant-fed design evacuates chips reliably during extended cycles.
Upgrade from standard jobber drills
Conventional twist drills often wander or pack chips in deep aluminium holes. This tool replaces them when hole depth exceeds three diameters and cycle time matters. The jump is worth it for dedicated aluminium lines where regrinds and scrap costs outweigh the higher upfront cost.
Coolant-fed carbide limits
Through-tool coolant requires a machine spindle and holder rated for internal pressure; older manual mills cannot supply it. Carbide shanks lack the toughness of cobalt steel, so heavy interruption or poor rigidity will fracture the tip. The 65 Proposition warning flags regulated substances that require handling controls in some jurisdictions.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the CDACRM0310 drill require to fit my tool holder?
The drill uses a standard shank that matches the 310 series tooling interface, so it fits any holder accepting that shank size.
How do I connect the coolant feed on this drill, and what step do users often miss?
Attach the coolant supply to the through-spindle port and verify the internal passage is clear; the step often missed is flushing the channel before first use.
When should I replace the CDACRM0310 drill based on wear or Proposition 65 handling?
Replace the drill when the two cutting flutes show flank wear or chipping; the Proposition 65 notice means you should wear gloves and wash hands after handling worn tools.
