M.A. Ford Cyclone XD 5X Drill 3.10 mm
This solid carbide drill targets manufacturers and machine shops that need high-precision holes in tough alloys. The coolant-fed design and double margin geometry support stable, deep-hole drilling up to five times the diameter. It is not suited for hand-held use or for buyers who need larger diameters or non-coolant tooling.
Coolant-Fed Deep-Hole Capability
Through-tool coolant delivery clears chips and controls heat at depth, extending tool life in materials that work-harden. The five-times-diameter reach is the practical limit of this design; deeper holes would require a specialised gun drill or a different flute geometry. The double margins improve guidance but add friction, so the drill is not ideal for soft, gummy materials that load the flutes.
Replaces Conventional Twist Drills in CNC Cycles
Shops moving from standard twist drills to this Cyclone XD gain tighter tolerances and fewer peck cycles on holes up to 3.10 mm diameter. The upgrade is justified when scrap reduction and cycle-time savings outweigh the higher tool cost; it is not worth it for low-volume prototyping or for holes that exceed the 5X depth ratio.

Questions about this item
Which diameter should I select for the Cyclone XD 5X drill?
The drill is supplied in a 3.10 mm diameter, so choose this size when the hole specification calls for 3.10 mm.
What does the 5X designation mean for drilling depth?
5X indicates the drill can reach a depth of five times its diameter in a single pass.
How does the coolant-fed design affect the drilling process?
Internal coolant channels deliver fluid directly to the cutting zone, improving chip evacuation and tool life.
