M.A. Ford CDACRM1200 Cyclone Drill Aluminum 5X 2 Flute Coolant Fed
A cyclone drill for aluminium with a 5× diameter reach, two flutes and through-coolant feed
- Optimised geometry for efficient aluminium drilling
- 5× diameter reach for deeper holes in one pass
- Two-flute design improves chip evacuation in soft alloys
- Internal coolant feed extends tool life and finish
- Cyclone series built for high-speed aluminium applications
Application and User
The M.A. Ford CDACRM1200 Cyclone Drill is engineered for aluminium machining with a 5x diameter depth capability and two-flute geometry. It suits CNC operators and job-shop technicians who need a coolant-fed tool for deeper holes in non-ferrous materials.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The coolant-fed design delivers lubricant directly to the cutting zone, maintaining consistent chip evacuation during extended drilling cycles. This reduces the risk of built-up edge and helps preserve dimensional accuracy when the tool remains in cut for longer periods.
Thermals, Noise and Power
Through-tool coolant flow manages heat at the cutting interface, limiting thermal expansion in both the workpiece and the drill body. Lower cutting temperatures contribute to steadier power draw on the machine spindle and quieter operation compared with uncooled alternatives.
Highlights
- Optimised geometry for efficient aluminium drilling

Questions about this item
How much heat builds up in the CDACRM1200 Cyclone Drill when it runs continuously through a full shift?
The coolant-fed design delivers fluid directly to the cutting zone, so the 2-flute carbide body stays cooler during extended aluminium drilling cycles.
What machine setup is required before the CDACRM1200 can be used?
A CNC or milling centre with through-spindle coolant capability and a holder that accepts the drill shank is needed to run this tool.
Will the CDACRM1200 fit the same tool holders as the older carbide drills already in the shop?
It uses a standard shank diameter common to many 5×D carbide drills, so existing ER collets or hydraulic holders of the matching size will work.
