What this drill does
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0810 Cyclone Drill is built for aluminium work using a 5X diameter reach and two flutes. It targets machinists and fabricators who need deep, straight holes in non-ferrous material. The coolant-fed design pushes fluid through the tool to evacuate chips and control heat during extended cycles.
Coolant-fed practical limits
Coolant-fed operation requires a machine spindle and holder that can deliver pressurised fluid through the tool body. Without that capability the internal passages provide no benefit and chips can pack the flutes. The 5X length-to-diameter ratio also demands rigid workholding and precise alignment to prevent deflection or breakage.
Installation and common issues
Mount the drill in a high-precision collet or hydraulic chuck to minimise runout. Verify that the coolant passages in the holder and spindle are clear before starting. Common problems include insufficient coolant pressure, misalignment causing premature wear, and chip packing when feed rates are too low for the material.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the CDACRM0810 Cyclone Drill in 5X length or look for a shorter version?
The 5X designation means this drill reaches five times its diameter deep, so choose it when holes must go further than a standard stub or jobber length allows.
What does the 2 flute design actually do when the drill is running in aluminum?
Two wide flutes evacuate long aluminum chips quickly while the coolant-fed core blasts cutting fluid to the tip, preventing built-up edge and keeping the hole straight.
How does the coolant-fed shank connect to my machine's delivery system?
The shank has an internal passage that aligns with through-spindle or through-holder coolant ports, letting high-pressure fluid exit at the drill point without external hoses.
