M.A. Ford CDACRM0480 Cyclone Aluminum 5X Drill 2 Flute Coolant Fed
A coolant-fed, two-flute Cyclone drill designed for aluminium with 5X capability
- Designed for aluminium machining with Cyclone 5X geometry
- Two-flute design improves chip evacuation in non-ferrous metals
- Coolant-fed operation reduces heat build-up during deep holes
- New condition ensures full factory performance from first use
- California Proposition 65 warning applies to this product
Application Fit
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0480 Cyclone drill is designed for aluminum machining with a 5X flute length and coolant-fed delivery. Its two-flute geometry supports chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials. The tool arrives new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Who It Serves
Machinists producing aluminum components benefit from the coolant-fed design and extended flute reach. Buyers working with steel, titanium or other ferrous alloys should select a different tool. Shops without through-spindle coolant capability cannot use the internal feed feature.
Deciding Specification
The 5X flute length determines the maximum drilling depth in a single pass. California Proposition 65 notices apply: the product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter and length does the CDACRM0480 require for a 5×D coolant-fed setup?
The drill is built for a 5× diameter depth with internal coolant delivery through the shank; match your holder to the shank size shown on the tool drawing.
Which step do users miss when installing a 2-flute Cyclone drill for aluminium?
They often forget to verify that the machine’s through-spindle coolant is active and filtered before the first plunge; dry entry chips the cutting edges instantly.
How often should the CDACRM0480 be re-ground or replaced in high-volume aluminium work?
Plan on re-grinding after the flank wear reaches the maker’s limit — typically every few thousand holes — and keep a spare 480-series tool on hand for change-over.
