M.A. Ford Cyclone Drill Aluminum 5X
The M.A. Ford CDACRM1180 Cyclone Drill is engineered specifically for aluminium machining with a 5X design and two flutes. Coolant-fed operation supports efficient chip evacuation and temperature control during drilling. This new cutting tool targets professional machinists and fabrication shops working on non-ferrous materials.
Suited for aluminium production runs
Machinists drilling aluminium alloys in CNC or manual setups will benefit from the coolant-fed geometry and flute configuration. The design addresses chip welding and heat buildup common in soft metals. Shops primarily cutting steel, titanium or composites should evaluate tools with different substrate and coating specifications for those materials.
5X coolant-fed geometry for aluminium
The defining specification is the 5X coolant-fed architecture combined with a two-flute layout optimised for aluminium. This combination determines feed rates, hole quality and tool life in non-ferrous applications. Verify machine spindle capability and coolant delivery matches the drill requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
How is the M.A. Ford CDACRM1180 Cyclone Drill installed in a CNC machine, and what step do operators often miss?
Install the drill in a coolant-fed holder with the correct collet size, then verify the through-coolant passages are clear and aligned before starting the spindle; operators often forget to purge air from the coolant lines.
What maintenance or replacement will the CDACRM1180 Cyclone Drill need after extended use in aluminum?
The two-flute carbide cutting edges will dull and require professional regrinding or full replacement once flank wear exceeds the manufacturer's reconditioning limits for 5X diameter tools.
What limit appears first on the CDACRM1180 when drilling deep holes continuously in aluminum?
Chip evacuation through the 5X length flutes becomes the limiting factor, causing heat buildup and potential tool breakage if coolant pressure and peck cycles are not optimised.
