M.A. Ford Cyclone XD Drill 16.30 mm
The M.A. Ford Cyclone XD 3X Solid Double Margin Drill is a precision cutting tool manufactured by M.A. Ford. It features a 16.30 mm diameter and a 3X solid double margin design intended for accurate hole making. This accessory suits machinists and maintenance professionals requiring reliable drilling performance in industrial applications. The product is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Sustained drilling with 3X solid double margin
The 3X solid double margin geometry provides enhanced stability during continuous cutting operations. This design helps maintain hole straightness and surface finish when the tool is engaged for extended periods. The construction supports consistent chip evacuation and reduces deflection under load. Operators can expect reliable performance throughout the drilling cycle without the variability seen in single margin alternatives.
Thermal behaviour and power considerations
Cutting temperatures rise steadily during prolonged use and depend on workpiece material, coolant application and machine rigidity. The solid carbide construction tolerates high heat but performs best with adequate lubrication to manage thermal expansion. Power draw correlates directly with feed rate, spindle speed and the material being drilled. Noise levels are typical for solid carbide drills operating at recommended parameters in a shop environment.

Questions about this item
Does the 16.30 mm Cyclone XD drill generate noticeable heat or vibration during extended use?
The drill is designed with a solid double-margin geometry that promotes stable cutting and efficient chip evacuation, helping to control heat build-up and reduce vibration during prolonged drilling cycles.
What tool holder or shank style does the CXDSS 1630AP require to mount in my machine?
This drill uses a straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks, collets or hydraulic holders that accept a 16.30 mm diameter shank.
Will the 16.30 mm Cyclone XD work reliably in an older CNC mill with lower spindle rigidity?
The double-margin design improves guidance and reduces radial forces, making it more forgiving on machines with modest spindle rigidity compared with single-margin drills.
