Product identity
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd is a solid-carbide drill with a 12.90 mm cutting diameter and a 5× diameter flute length. It targets machinists who need a single tool for deep-hole drilling in steel, stainless steel and cast iron without peck cycles.
Build and coolant delivery
Two full-length margins stabilise the drill in the hole, improving straightness and surface finish on deep passes. Internal coolant channels exit at the tip, flushing chips and reducing heat so the tool can run at higher feed rates without burning the workpiece.
Practical limits
The 5× diameter reach restricts maximum hole depth to roughly five times the drill diameter, so deeper features require a longer series or a different approach. The design is optimised for ferrous materials; non-ferrous or composite workpieces may need alternative geometry. California Proposition 65 warnings apply.
Highlights
- Coolant-fed design clears chips during deep drilling
- Double margins guide the drill for straighter holes
- 5× diameter reach handles long-hole applications
- 90 mm diameter fits precise metric specs

Questions about this item
What shank standard does the 12.90 mm Cyclone Xd 5X drill use?
The drill is built with a standard round shank that fits common hydraulic, shrink-fit or collet chucks used on CNC machining centres.
What machine spindle and coolant setup does the 12.90 mm drill require?
It needs a CNC spindle with through-coolant capability and enough thrust to run a 12.90 mm diameter tool at the recommended feed rates.
How is the 12.90 mm drill installed, and what step is often missed?
Secure the shank in a clean, high-precision holder, activate through-spindle coolant before starting the spindle, and verify runout at the tip — skipping the pre-start coolant check is the common error.
