M.A. Ford CXDCL1250AP Cyclone XD 8X Coolant Fed Double Margin Drill 3.18 mm
Coolant-fed double-margin drill cuts 3.18 mm holes with 8× diameter depth capability
- Coolant-fed design enables deep-hole drilling
- Double-margin geometry improves hole straightness
- 8× diameter reach reduces tool changes
- 18 mm diameter suits precision work
- California Proposition 65 warning applies
Application
The M.A. Ford Cyclone XD CXDCL1250AP is an 8X coolant-fed double-margin drill sized at 3.18 mm. It targets machine shops and production cells that need deep, accurate holes in tough alloys where through-tool coolant delivery and guided margins improve chip control and finish.
Compatibility
Verify that your spindle and holder accept a 3.18 mm shank and that the machine can supply coolant through the tool at the required pressure. Confirm the workholding rigidity suits an 8X length-to-diameter ratio and that the controller can program the peck or dwell cycles the geometry demands.
Upgrade path
This drill replaces standard twist drills or single-margin tools when hole straightness, surface quality or tool life fall short in deep-hole operations. The step is justified when scrap rates rise on long holes or when cycle time must drop without adding secondary finishing passes.
Highlights
- Coolant-fed design enables deep-hole drilling
- Double-margin geometry improves hole straightness
- 8× diameter reach reduces tool changes
- 18 mm diameter suits precision work
- California Proposition 65 warning applies

Questions about this item
Does the Cyclone XD 8X drill include coolant fittings or must they be purchased separately?
The drill is a coolant-fed tool with double margins; fittings and coolant supply are not included and must be sourced separately.
Should I choose the 1/8 inch or 3.18 mm version for my application?
Both designations refer to the same 3.18 mm diameter; select the listing that matches your drawing call-out.
What does the 8X designation mean for hole depth in a CNC machine?
The 8X ratio allows drilling up to eight times the 3.18 mm diameter in a single pass when coolant pressure and feed rates are correct.
