8.90 mm solid carbide drill
The M.A. Ford Cyclone XD 5X is a solid carbide drill with a double-margin design and a cutting diameter of 8.90 mm. It is intended for machinists and maintenance teams who need a single tool capable of drilling up to five times diameter in steel, cast iron and high-temperature alloys without pecking.
Double margin geometry
Two margins instead of one guide the drill more securely in the hole, improving straightness and surface finish while reducing the risk of chatter. The 5X length-to-diameter ratio means deeper holes can be completed in one pass, cutting cycle time and eliminating the need for a separate pilot drill in many setups.
California Proposition 65 notice
The tool carries a Proposition 65 warning because it contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. The solid carbide construction resists wear in abrasive materials, and the standard shank fits common tool holders for quick changeover on CNC machines or manual milling centres.

Questions about this item
How often will the double-margin geometry need resharpening on the 8.90 mm drill?
Resharpening interval depends on workpiece material and feed rate; the double-margin design maintains hole straightness longer than single-margin drills before regrinding is required.
What limits continuous drilling depth with the 5X Cyclone XD 8.90 mm tool?
The 5X diameter-to-length ratio sets the practical depth limit; chip evacuation and coolant pressure become the constraining factors beyond that ratio.
How much heat builds up in the 8.90 mm drill during all-day production runs?
Heat rise is controlled by the double-margin land design and through-coolant capability; steady temperatures are maintained when recommended speeds, feeds and coolant flow are followed.
