Cyclone Drill for Aluminium 5X 2 Flute
This M.A. Ford Cyclone drill is designed for aluminium machining with a 5X diameter flute length and two-flute geometry. Coolant-fed channels deliver fluid directly to the cutting zone for chip evacuation and temperature control. The tool targets CNC operators and job-shop machinists producing high-volume aluminium components.
Suited for high-speed aluminium milling
Shops that lack through-spindle coolant capability or that primarily machine steels, titanium or hardened alloys should consider alternative tooling. The specialised flute profile and coolant delivery are optimised for soft, sticky non-ferrous materials and do not transfer to other workpiece groups.
Coolant-fed design changes chip control
Internal coolant passages flush chips from deep 5X-depth holes, reducing re-cutting and built-up edge formation. This extends usable tool life in long production runs and helps maintain hole straightness without peck cycles. The geometry also lowers cutting forces on thin-wall aluminium parts.
Highlights
- Cyclone geometry cuts aluminium cleanly
- 5× diameter reach drills deep holes
- Two-flute design evacuates chips efficiently
- Coolant-fed operation controls heat build-up
- California Proposition 65 chemical warning applies

Questions about this item
What machine spindle is required for the CDACRM0860 coolant-fed drill?
The drill needs a spindle that can deliver internal coolant through the tool holder and accept a straight-shank carbide drill for 5× diameter depth.
Can the 2-flute Cyclone drill be used in a holder that only supports external flood coolant?
No, the CDACRM0860 is designed for through-tool coolant delivery; external flood alone will not provide the chip evacuation the 5× flute length requires.
How do I verify the drill is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for consistent chip formation, steady spindle load, and hole diameter within tolerance; the Proposition 65 label on the packaging confirms genuine M.A. Ford supply.
