M.A. Ford Cyclone Drill for Aluminium
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0440 Cyclone Drill is engineered specifically for aluminium machining with a 5x diameter drilling depth and two-flute geometry. Coolant-fed channels deliver lubricant directly to the cutting zone for efficient chip evacuation and heat control. This new power tool targets metalworking professionals who need reliable hole-making in non-ferrous materials.
Installation and common issues
The drill fits standard tool holders that match its shank specification, so setup follows normal machine-tool practice. Coolant must be connected and filtered to prevent blockage of the internal feed holes. The most frequent problems arise when coolant pressure is too low or when the workpiece clamps allow vibration, both of which reduce tool life and hole quality.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This drill suits CNC operators and job-shop machinists producing deep holes in aluminium alloys where through-coolant capability is required. It is not intended for handheld use, for drilling steels or hardened materials, or for applications that exceed the 5x depth ratio. Buyers needing larger diameters, different flute counts, or non-coolant-fed designs should consider other tooling.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the Cyclone drill is cutting aluminium correctly after installation?
Check for consistent chip evacuation through the coolant-fed flutes and a smooth hole finish without built-up edge on the aluminium workpiece.
What comes in the package and what must I supply separately?
The box contains the CDACRM0440 drill only; you must provide a compatible coolant-fed tool holder and cutting fluid.
Which version of the Cyclone drill should I select for a 5× diameter deep hole in aluminium?
Choose the 5X 2-flute coolant-fed variant, identified by the CDACRM0440 code, for optimal chip removal at that depth.
