Cyclone Drill Aluminum 5X 2 Flute Coolant Fed
The M.A. Ford CDACRM0880 is a coolant-fed drill built for aluminium machining with a five-times-diameter reach and two-flute geometry. It targets CNC operators and job-shop machinists who need deep-hole capability in non-ferrous materials without peck cycles. The design evacuates chips through internal coolant channels while maintaining hole straightness at extended lengths. This tool suits production environments where aluminium components require consistent finish and diameter control.
Sustained load behaviour
Internal coolant delivery flushes chips continuously during deep-hole drilling, preventing packing and heat build-up that would otherwise degrade tool life. The two-flute layout balances chip space with core strength so the drill resists deflection when running at full engagement for long periods. Carbide construction holds edge integrity under the thermal cycling typical of high-speed aluminium work. Operators can maintain programmed feed rates without frequent retracts, reducing cycle time on multi-hole parts.
Upgrade path and value
The CDACRM0880 replaces conventional twist drills or shorter carbide drills that require pecking to clear chips in deep aluminium holes. Shops moving from external-coolant tooling gain uninterrupted chip evacuation and tighter tolerance control on holes beyond three diameters deep. The jump is worthwhile when hole depth exceeds standard drill capacity or when peck cycles add unacceptable time to high-volume jobs. It does not address applications needing larger diameters or different workpiece materials.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the CDACRM0880 generate when drilling aluminium continuously?
The coolant-fed design delivers fluid directly to the cutting zone, carrying heat away from the 2-flute carbide body during extended runs.
What machine setup is needed to use the coolant-fed feature on this drill?
A CNC or milling spindle with through-spindle coolant capability and a compatible tool holder is required to supply fluid through the drill.
Will the 5×D flute length fit in the same tool changer pockets as my older 3×D drills?
The longer 5×D flute increases overall length, so pocket depth and adjacent tool clearance should be verified before mixing with shorter drills.
