Cyclone Xd 8X Coolant-Fed Drill
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd is a solid-carbide drill designed for high-performance holemaking in demanding materials. It targets machinists and manufacturing engineers who need reliable deep-hole capability with through-coolant delivery. The double-margin geometry improves hole straightness and surface finish during extended production runs.
8X Diameter Depth with Through Coolant
The defining specification is the 8X diameter drilling depth supported by internal coolant channels. This length-to-diameter ratio allows deep holes in a single operation without peck cycles. Coolant fed directly to the cutting zone evacuates chips and controls heat in materials that work-harden or generate abrasive swarf.
Direct Spindle Mounting, Chip Control Critical
The shank fits standard tool holders for quick changeover on CNC machining centres. No special adapters are required beyond a through-coolant spindle interface. The primary risk is chip packing in deep holes if coolant pressure or volume is insufficient for the specific workpiece material.
Highlights

Questions about this item
What does the 8X in the Cyclone Xd name tell me about drilling depth?
It indicates the drill can reach up to eight times its diameter in depth when used with proper coolant flow and machine rigidity.
How does the coolant-fed design affect chip evacuation?
Internal coolant channels push chips forward and out of the hole, reducing packing and improving tool life in deep holes.
What does the double-margin geometry require from my tool holder?
A standard collet or hydraulic holder with sufficient grip length works; the margins are ground for stability, not a special shank.
