M.A. Ford
M.A. Ford Cyclone XD 3X Solid Double Margin Drill 15.30 mm
Solid double-margin drill cuts 15.30 mm holes with three-flute chip evacuation
- Solid double margin design improves hole accuracy
- Cyclone XD coating extends tool life in tough materials
- 3X flute geometry enables faster chip removal
- 30 mm diameter suits precise drilling tasks
- Brand new condition ensures full factory performance
Application fit
The M.A. Ford Cyclone XD 3X drill targets machinists and maintenance teams producing accurate holes in steel, stainless steel and cast iron. Its 15.30 mm diameter suits through-hole and blind-hole work where a solid carbide tool with double margins improves guidance. Buyers needing larger diameters or non-ferrous optimisation should select a different tool.
Sustained cutting behaviour
The 3X length-to-diameter ratio provides reach for deeper holes while the double-margin design maintains alignment during continuous drilling. Solid carbide construction resists wear at elevated temperatures, reducing wander when the tool stays engaged for long cycles. Coolant supply and chip evacuation remain essential for consistent performance.
Upgrade context
This drill replaces general-purpose HSS or single-margin carbide drills when hole straightness and tool life become limiting factors. The step up is justified for repeat jobs in tough alloys where reduced rework and longer intervals between changes lower per-part cost. Infrequent or shallow drilling in mild steel may not recover the investment.
Highlights
- Solid double margin design improves hole accuracy

Questions about this item
How much vibration and heat does the 15.30 mm Cyclone XD drill produce during extended use in a drill press?
The solid double-margin design of the 15.30 mm Cyclone XD drill improves stability and hole quality, which reduces vibration and heat buildup during prolonged drilling cycles in a drill press.
What shank type does the 15.30 mm Cyclone XD drill have, and will it fit my existing drill chuck?
The 15.30 mm Cyclone XD drill features a straight shank designed for standard drill chucks; verify your chuck capacity is at least 15.30 mm for a secure grip.
Can the 15.30 mm Cyclone XD drill be resharpened on an older bench grinder setup?
The solid carbide construction of the 15.30 mm Cyclone XD drill requires a diamond grinding wheel for resharpening; a conventional bench grinder with aluminium-oxide wheels will not cut the material effectively.
