Cyclone Drill for Aluminium 5X
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0400 is a solid-carbide drill engineered for aluminium alloys. Its 5× diameter flute length and two-flute geometry suit CNC and high-speed machining centres. The coolant-fed design delivers lubricant directly to the cutting zone. It targets manufacturers and job shops producing aluminium components.
Coolant-fed flutes change chip control
Internal coolant passages flush chips from deep holes without peck cycles. This reduces cycle time and prevents built-up edge on soft aluminium. The two-flute layout balances chip space and core strength. Shops gain consistent hole quality in unattended runs.
5× depth limit defines application window
The 5× diameter reach restricts use to shallow and medium-depth holes. Deeper features require a different length series or gun-drill approach. Coolant pressure and machine rigidity must match the tool diameter. Operators without through-spindle coolant cannot use the internal feed.

Questions about this item
When will the 2-flute cutting edges on the Cyclone drill need resharpening or replacement?
Resharpen when the 2-flute edges show wear or chip formation; the 5X length means more material to remove per pass so inspect after each extended run in aluminium.
What limit appears first during sustained drilling with the coolant-fed Cyclone?
Chip evacuation in deep 5X holes becomes the bottleneck — coolant flow must stay high enough to flush aluminium chips before they pack the 2-flute gullets.
How much heat and noise does the CDACRM0400 generate when running all day in aluminium?
Expect typical high-speed drilling heat at the tip; coolant-fed design carries heat away, and noise level matches standard carbide drill operation in aluminium.
