- 20 mm diameter fits precise bores
- Solid carbide construction resists wear
- Double margin design improves hole straightness
- Cyclone Xd geometry increases cutting efficiency
What this drill is
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 5X Solid Double Margin Drill is a new cutting tool designed for precise holemaking in metalworking applications. Its 11.20 mm diameter and five-times-diameter flute length suit deep-hole drilling tasks. The solid double-margin construction improves hole straightness and surface finish.
Who should use it
Machinists and maintenance teams needing a rigid, long-reach drill for steels and cast irons will benefit from the double-margin geometry. Shops that primarily drill shallow holes or softer materials such as aluminium or plastic may find the extra length and margin width unnecessary for their work.
Installation and common issues
The drill fits standard tool holders and CNC spindles that accept an 11.20 mm shank; no special adapters are required. Problems usually arise when coolant flow is insufficient for deep holes, causing chip packing and premature wear, or when the workpiece clamping is not rigid enough to handle the extended reach.
Highlights
- 5x diameter reach for deep holes
- 20 mm diameter fits precise bores
- Solid carbide construction resists wear
- Double margin design improves hole straightness
- Cyclone Xd geometry increases cutting efficiency

Questions about this item
What size drill chuck or collet is needed to hold the 11.20 mm shank?
A chuck or collet that accepts an 11.20 mm diameter shank is required for this Cyclone Xd 5X drill.
Can the 11.20 mm Cyclone Xd 5X be used in a standard drill press that runs at lower RPMs?
Yes, the solid double-margin design works in conventional drill presses, though cutting parameters should follow M.A. Ford recommendations for the material.
How do I confirm the 11.20 mm drill is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for consistent chip formation, a round hole within tolerance, and stable torque readings without chatter during the cut.
