M.A. Ford CDACRM1170 Cyclone Drill Aluminum 5X 2 Flute Coolant Fed
A cyclone drill for aluminium with 5x diameter reach, two flutes, coolant feed and model CDACRM1170
- Designed for aluminium machining with 5X flute geometry
- Two-flute construction improves chip evacuation in soft metals
- Coolant-fed design delivers fluid directly to the cutting zone
- Cyclone series engineering targets high-speed aluminium applications
- Model CDACRM1170 identifies this specific drill configuration
Application Focus
The M.A. Ford CDACRM1170 Cyclone Drill is engineered for aluminium machining with a 5X diameter reach and two-flute geometry. Coolant-fed operation supports chip evacuation and temperature control during deep-hole drilling. It suits CNC operators and job shops that prioritise process reliability in non-ferrous materials.
Build Quality & Connectivity
The tool body is manufactured by M.A. Ford to withstand the cutting forces typical of high-performance aluminium drilling. Coolant-fed delivery integrates directly with machine-tool spindle systems, reducing external plumbing and minimising coolant mist in the work envelope. The shank interface matches standard holder configurations for secure clamping.
Upgrade Path & Fit
This drill replaces conventional twist drills that lack through-coolant capability or the 5X length-to-diameter ratio. The jump is worthwhile when hole depth exceeds standard drill capacity or when chip packing causes frequent tool failure. Shops without coolant-through spindle infrastructure cannot exploit the design.

Questions about this item
What shank interface does the CDACRM1170 Cyclone Drill use for coolant delivery?
The drill features a coolant-fed shank design that channels cutting fluid directly to the 2-flute cutting zone through internal passages.
What machine spindle and holder clearance does the 5X diameter drill require?
The 5X length-to-diameter ratio demands a rigid holder with sufficient gauge length and spindle travel to accommodate the extended flute section.
How is the CDACRM1170 installed in a CNC tool changer, and what alignment step is critical?
Load the drill into a compatible coolant-fed collet or holder, then verify the flute orientation aligns with the spindle coolant port before tightening.
