Cyclone Drill for Aluminium
The M.A. Ford CDACRM1040 is a coolant-fed drill engineered for aluminium work. Its two-flute geometry and five-times-diameter reach suit CNC operators and job-shop machinists who need reliable chip evacuation in deep holes. The tool arrives new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Five-times-diameter capacity and coolant feed
The 5X length provides extended reach for deeper holes while the internal coolant channel flushes chips from the cutting zone. Two flutes balance material removal with core strength, so the drill handles standard aluminium alloys without packing. In very high-silicon alloys or abrasive composites the flute space can fill faster than the coolant clears it.
Upgrade from standard-length or non-coolant drills
Shops moving from shorter solid drills or external-flood tools gain the ability to drill deeper in one pass and reduce cycle time on aluminium parts. The jump is worth it when hole depth approaches five diameters and chip control becomes the limiting factor. Buyers needing carbide-tipped or diamond-coated options for highly abrasive materials will need a different tool family.

Questions about this item
Will the CDACRM1040 fit the same coolant-fed holders I use for older 5X drills?
The CDACRM1040 is a 5X 2 flute coolant-fed drill designed for aluminum, so it matches the same 5X shank and coolant interface used by existing holders.
How do I confirm the CDACRM1040 is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for consistent chip evacuation through the coolant holes, smooth hole walls in aluminum, and stable torque readings without chatter during the first test holes.
Does the CDACRM1040 come with coolant fittings or just the drill body?
The package includes the CDACRM1040 drill body only; coolant fittings, holder collets and any required seals must be sourced separately.
