12.83mm Coolant-Fed Drill
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 1283AP is a solid-carbide drill with through-coolant channels and a double-margin design. It targets machine shops and maintenance teams that need accurate holes in steel, stainless alloys and cast iron. The 3× diameter flute length supports short-hole production runs without pecking cycles.
Replaces Standard Twist Drills
Conventional drills without internal coolant struggle to evacuate chips from deep or sticky materials, leading to wander and premature wear. This tool upgrades that process when the machine spindle and holder can deliver coolant through the shank. The jump is worth it when hole tolerance and tool life outweigh the higher per-unit cost.
Requires Through-Coolant Setup
The drill needs a compatible holder, sealed collet or shrink-fit chuck and a machine capable of routed coolant pressure. It frees the operator from manual peck cycles and reduces the risk of chip packing in blind holes. Shops without through-spindle coolant cannot use the internal channels effectively.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the 12.83 mm CXDCS 1283AP drill require in the holder?
The drill has a 12.83 mm cutting diameter and is designed for a matching 12.83 mm shank, so the collet or chuck must accept that exact size.
How do I connect coolant to the CXDCS 1283AP and what step is often missed?
Feed coolant through the machine spindle into the drill’s internal channels; the step most operators miss is verifying that the coolant passages are clear before the first hole.
When should the double margins on this 12.83 mm drill be inspected or the tool replaced?
Inspect the double margins for wear after each job; replace the drill when margin wear reaches the supplier’s wear limit or when hole quality drops below tolerance.
