Aluminium drilling with 5X reach
The M.A. Ford Cyclone drill is built for aluminium work where a 5X diameter depth is required. Its two-flute geometry clears chips efficiently in soft, sticky material. The coolant-fed design delivers fluid directly to the cutting zone for temperature control and longer tool life. Shops running high-volume aluminium jobs will value the consistent hole quality.
Coolant-fed constraint
Effective chip evacuation depends on a reliable through-coolant supply at the machine spindle. Without adequate pressure the flutes can pack and the drill may overheat. The tool is specialised for aluminium; it is not suited for steel, titanium or hardened alloys. Users needing multi-material capability must select a different geometry.
Standard shank mounting
The drill fits conventional tool holders so setup follows normal shop practice. Coolant passages must align with the spindle’s through-coolant interface or leakage will occur. A common error is running the tool dry or with insufficient flow, which quickly degrades the cutting edges. Verify coolant delivery before starting the cycle.

Questions about this item
Is the 2656 drill the only 5X 2-flute coolant-fed option for aluminum?
The 2656 is the sole model shown in this 5X 2-flute coolant-fed aluminum range.
What does the 5X designation mean when the drill is in the spindle?
5X indicates a five-times-diameter flute length, giving deeper holes per plunge in aluminum.
How does the coolant-fed design affect chip evacuation on this drill?
Internal coolant ports push chips forward and out of the hole, reducing recutting in aluminum.
