M.A. Ford Cyclone Aluminum Drill
The M.A. Ford CDACRM1160 is a dedicated cutting tool built for aluminium work. Its five-times-diameter reach and two-flute geometry suit production shops that need deep, accurate holes in non-ferrous alloys. The coolant-fed design evacuates chips efficiently, supporting consistent performance in high-volume environments. It is not intended for handheld drilling or general-purpose metalwork.
5×D Reach With Coolant Feed
The 5X length provides extended reach for deep-hole applications while the internal coolant channel flushes chips from the cutting zone. Two flutes balance chip space and core strength for aluminium’s long, stringy swarf. The tool runs out of effective engagement when hole depth exceeds the 5× diameter ratio or when materials generate short, powdery chips that pack the flutes. Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the product.
Solid Carbide Construction
The solid carbide body resists wear and deflection during prolonged aluminium machining. A cylindrical shank fits standard ER collets or hydraulic holders without adapters. Coolant ports align with through-spindle or through-holder delivery systems for immediate fluid access. The 1160 designation identifies this specific geometry within the Cyclone range. No external coolant plumbing is required when used with compatible tool holders.

Questions about this item
Will the 5X flute length on the CDACRM1160 fit my older drill press spindle without modification?
The CDACRM1160 is a solid-carbide drill with a 5X diameter flute length; verify your spindle clearance and holder capacity against that reach before mounting.
How do I confirm coolant is flowing correctly through the CDACRM1160 after installation?
Start the machine at low pressure and watch for a steady stream exiting both flute holes at the tip; uneven flow means a blockage or seal issue.
Does the CDACRM1160 come with a tool holder or coolant adapter, or must I buy them separately?
The package contains only the drill itself; a compatible holder and any required coolant fittings are sold separately.
