M.A. Ford Cyclone Drill for Aluminum
This M.A. Ford Cyclone drill is engineered specifically for aluminium machining with a 5x diameter reach and two-flute geometry. The coolant-fed design delivers fluid directly to the cutting zone for improved chip evacuation and temperature control. It serves CNC operators and job-shop machinists who need reliable performance in non-ferrous materials.
Two-flute coolant-fed geometry changes chip control
The two-flute configuration creates wider chip gullets that reduce clogging when drilling deep holes in aluminium alloys. Internal coolant passages flush chips forward and away from the cutting edges, maintaining consistent hole quality at extended depths. This combination minimises the need for peck cycles and reduces cycle time on production runs.
Five-times-diameter limit defines maximum depth
The 5x diameter capability sets the practical drilling depth without requiring specialised deep-hole equipment. Holes beyond this ratio demand gun drills or BTA tooling with dedicated pressure and filtration systems. Standard machine-tool coolant pressure may limit performance at the extreme end of the 5x range, particularly in long-chipping aluminium tempers.

Questions about this item
How often will the CDACRM0580 Cyclone Drill's two flutes need resharpening when drilling aluminum?
Resharpening interval depends on the aluminum alloy, feed rate and coolant quality; the 2-flute design distributes wear evenly so each flute sees half the cutting load.
What limits continuous drilling depth with the 5x-diameter CDACRM0580?
The 5x length-to-diameter ratio is the primary limit; chip evacuation and coolant pressure become critical once the hole exceeds five times the drill diameter.
How much heat does the coolant-fed CDACRM0580 generate during all-day production runs?
Through-tool coolant flushes heat directly from the cutting zone, keeping tip temperature low enough for extended shifts without thermal expansion issues.
