Cyclone Aluminum 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0540 is a coolant-fed drill built for aluminum. Two flutes and a 5X design support high-speed chip evacuation in non-ferrous metals. It targets machinists and fabricators who need consistent holes in soft alloys.
Replacing standard twist drills
Conventional drills often clog or wander in aluminum. The coolant-fed Cyclone clears chips through internal channels, reducing heat and extending tool life. The jump is worth it when cycle time and hole quality outweigh the cost of a basic drill.
For high-volume aluminum work
Shops running dedicated aluminum lines gain repeatable results and longer intervals between tool changes. Operations focused on steel, titanium or intermittent mixed-metal jobs should look at general-purpose carbide drills instead.

Questions about this item
What shank size does the CDACRM0540 require for my tool holder?
The drill uses a standard shank that fits matching collets or holders; verify your machine accepts the diameter before mounting.
How do I enable coolant flow through the flutes on this drill?
Connect the machine's through-spindle coolant supply to the drill's internal channels; the common error is forgetting to open the coolant valve before starting the cycle.
When should I replace the CDACRM0540 drill?
Replace it when the cutting edges show visible wear, chipping, or when hole quality and dimensional tolerance fall outside your required limits.
