Drill for aluminium 5× coolant fed
The M.A. Ford Cyclone drill is a solid-carbide tool built for aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys. Its five-times-diameter flute length and two-flute geometry suit CNC machines and high-speed milling centres. The coolant-fed design delivers lubricant directly to the cutting zone. Shops machining deep pockets in soft metals will find it matches their workflow.
Chip evacuation and heat control
Internal coolant channels flush swarf from deep holes while lowering the cutting temperature. Two wide flutes give chips room to exit without packing, which reduces friction and keeps the tool running quietly. The carbide substrate resists the abrasive wear common in high-silicon aluminium. Consistent coolant flow prevents built-up edge from forming on the flank.
Steady performance in long cycles
During extended production runs the drill holds its diameter and surface finish without frequent tool changes. Coolant pressure maintains stable chip breaking even when the hole depth reaches the full 5× length. The 930 series geometry minimises deflection so hole straightness stays within tolerance. Operators can run unattended cycles with confidence.

Questions about this item
How do I install the M.A. Ford Cyclone Drill 930 in a coolant-fed holder, and what step is often missed?
Mount the 2-flute shank securely in a compatible coolant-fed holder, align the internal coolant port with the machine spindle, and torque the collet nut to spec. The step often missed is verifying coolant flow through the drill before starting the cut.
What maintenance or replacement will the 930 drill need during its service life?
The carbide cutting edges will dull and require professional regrinding to restore the original 2-flute geometry. Coolant passages should be flushed regularly to prevent chip packing that reduces tool life.
What limit appears first when running the 930 drill continuously in aluminium?
Heat buildup at the cutting zone typically limits sustained feed rates before flank wear becomes critical, especially if coolant pressure drops below the level needed to clear chips from the 5X flute length.
