M.A. Ford Cyclone Drill for Aluminum
This carbide drill is built for high-speed machining of aluminium alloys. The five-times-diameter flute length and two-flute geometry suit production runs where chip evacuation and hole straightness matter. Coolant-fed operation reduces built-up edge and extends tool life in automated cells.
Coolant-fed installation and common issues
The drill requires a machine spindle with through-coolant capability and a compatible holder that seals at the shank. Insufficient coolant pressure or misaligned holders cause premature flank wear and poor surface finish. Vibration from excessive overhang or unbalanced tool assemblies leads to chatter marks and reduced hole accuracy.
Practical limits of the 5×D coolant-fed design
The 5×D depth-to-diameter ratio restricts use to holes no deeper than five times the drill diameter without pecking. Coolant delivery loses effectiveness beyond this length, increasing the risk of chip packing and thermal damage. The two-flute design limits feed rates compared with three-flute variants, so cycle times rise in high-volume aluminium work.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the Cyclone drill is cutting aluminum correctly after setup?
Check for smooth chip evacuation through the coolant-fed channels and consistent hole diameter without built-up edge on the 2-flute design.
What comes with the CDACRM0820 and what must I supply separately?
The drill itself is included; you must provide a compatible coolant system and a tool holder suited to the shank.
Which version of the Cyclone drill should I choose for 5× depth aluminum work?
Select the 5X 2-flute coolant-fed model designated 820 for five-times-diameter drilling in aluminum.
