Precision drilling for hardened materials
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 5X Solid Double Margin Drill cuts 3.40 mm holes in tough alloys and hardened steels. Its solid double-margin design keeps the tool centred and reduces walk during deep passes. Machinists and maintenance teams use it where standard drills wander or wear too fast. The geometry supports consistent chip evacuation in high-torque applications.
Upgrade from single-margin or general-purpose drills
When hole straightness and finish matter more than cycle time, the double-margin layout pays off. It replaces tools that flex in cross-holes or leave rough walls in 40+ HRC material. The jump is worth it for repeat jobs where regrind life and positional accuracy cut scrap rates. Standard drills cannot match the guidance this design gives.
Fits rigid toolholders and high-pressure coolant
The shank seats in standard collets and hydraulic holders without adapters. Through-coolant capability clears chips from deep holes and protects the margins from heat. It frees up cycle time by allowing faster feeds in difficult materials without pecking. The drill needs a stable spindle and clean coolant to reach full tool life.

Questions about this item
What size chuck or collet accepts the 3.40 mm shank?
The 3.40 mm shank fits any standard 3.40 mm collet or a three-jaw chuck that closes fully to that diameter.
How do I install the drill without snapping the solid carbide body?
Clamp the shank only, use a rigid holder, and ramp the feed in the first millimetre to avoid shock on the double-margin lands.
When should I replace the drill instead of resharpening it?
Replace it when the corner wear reaches the margin width or when the 3.40 mm diameter drops below the hole tolerance band.
