- M.A. Ford Cyclone series drill
M.A. Ford Cyclone Aluminum Drill
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0690 Cyclone drill is engineered for aluminium work with a 5x diameter flute length and two flutes. Coolant-fed channels deliver fluid directly to the cutting zone for chip evacuation and temperature control. It suits CNC and high-speed machining centres that need reliable aluminium holemaking.
Suited for aluminium production runs.
Shops running repeat aluminium jobs gain consistent hole quality and longer tool life from the coolant-fed design. The geometry is optimised for non-ferrous alloys, so it will not perform well in hardened steels, stainless steels or abrasive composites. Buyers needing a drill for those materials should select a different tool.
5x diameter flute length defines reach
The 5x flute length sets the maximum drill depth in a single pass, making it the key specification for planning operations. Coolant-fed capability supports deeper cuts without Peck cycles in many aluminium grades. Verify machine coolant pressure and holder compatibility before ordering.

Questions about this item
How is the coolant-fed drill installed in a CNC holder, and what step is often missed?
Secure the shank fully in a matching collet or hydraulic holder, then verify coolant passages align before tightening; the step most often missed is confirming the internal coolant port opens into the spindle seal.
What maintenance or replacement will the CDACRM0690 need after extended use in aluminium?
Re-sharpen or replace the two-flute carbide tip once flank wear reaches the supplier’s limit; inspect the coolant holes for chip blockage at each tool change.
What limit appears first during sustained high-speed drilling in aluminium?
Chip evacuation through the 2-flute coolant channels becomes the bottleneck before flank wear, especially at 5× diameter depth.
