Cyclone Xd 5X Double Margin Drill
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 5X is a coolant-fed double margin drill sized at 11/32. It is built for machinists who need a rigid, high-performance cutting tool for production drilling in tough materials. The double margin design improves hole straightness and surface finish during deep-hole operations. This new cutting tool targets professional metalworking shops.
Coolant-Fed Drilling Constraints
Coolant-fed operation requires a machine spindle and tool holder capable of delivering high-pressure fluid through the tool body. Shops without through-spindle coolant or adequate filtration cannot use this drill as intended. The 5X diameter-to-length ratio limits reach compared to longer gun drills or extended-length twist drills. Chip evacuation relies entirely on coolant pressure and flute geometry.
Upgrade From Standard Twist Drills
This drill replaces conventional twist drills when hole quality, tool life, or cycle time in difficult alloys justify the investment. The jump is worth it for high-volume jobs where coolant-through capability reduces pecking cycles and improves chip control. It is not for handheld use, low-rigidity setups, or materials where standard coolant supply is unavailable.
