Cyclone Drill for Aluminum 5X
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0550 is a carbide drill engineered for high-performance drilling in aluminium alloys. Its two-flute geometry and through-coolant channels evacuate chips efficiently during deep-hole operations. This tool targets machinists and CNC operators who need consistent hole quality in non-ferrous materials.
Verify coolant delivery and holder rigidity
Before ordering, confirm your machine spindle and tool holder can supply coolant through the tool at the pressure your process requires. Ensure the holder provides sufficient clamping force and run-out control for a 5X diameter drill length. Check that your workpiece fixturing resists thrust forces without vibration.
Sustained load performance in aluminium
Under continuous cutting the through-coolant design maintains stable temperatures at the cutting edges, reducing built-up edge formation. The flute geometry supports steady chip evacuation even at deeper axial depths, preventing packing that can fracture the tool. This behaviour supports predictable tool life during long production runs.

Questions about this item
Does the M.A. Ford CDACRM0550 Cyclone drill ship with coolant fittings or must they be purchased separately?
The drill is delivered as a standalone cutting tool; coolant fittings, holders or supply hardware are not included and must be sourced separately.
How do I decide between the 5X flute length and another reach option for this Cyclone series?
Choose the 5X variant when hole depth is roughly five times the diameter; shorter reaches reduce deflection in shallow holes while longer reaches suit deep-pass machining.
What does the 550 in the model code tell me about performance inside a CNC spindle?
The 550 designation identifies this specific catalogue item; it does not encode a diameter, speed or feed value, so consult the maker’s technical chart for cutting parameters.
