- 8X diameter capability enables deeper drilling in a single pass
- Precise 11.40 mm diameter suits exacting machining requirements
- M.A. Ford engineering provides reliable performance in demanding applications
Cyclone Xd 11.40 mm drill identity
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd is a solid-carbide drill with an 8× diameter flute length and through-coolant delivery. Double margins guide the tool for straighter holes in deep drilling. It targets machine shops producing precision components in steel, stainless alloys and high-temperature metals.
Replacing conventional 8× coolant drills
Shops moving from standard single-margin coolant drills gain better hole alignment and longer tool life in difficult materials. The step up is justified when hole straightness tolerances tighten or when cycle-time reduction from higher feed rates offsets the higher tool cost.
Suited for high-mix CNC cells
The drill suits job-shop CNC cells that run varied alloys and need reliable deep-hole performance without frequent tool changes. Operations limited to shallow holes, non-ferrous materials only, or machines without through-spindle coolant should evaluate simpler alternatives.

Questions about this item
What shank size fits the 11.40 mm Cyclone Xd drill?
The 11.40 mm diameter shank fits standard tool holders and collets sized for 11.40 mm round shanks, matching the drill's cutting diameter for direct mounting.
How do I connect coolant to the CXDCLM1140AP drill?
Connect a compatible coolant supply to the drill's through-tool coolant port; the step often missed is verifying seal integrity at the holder interface before starting the spindle.
When should the double margins on the 11.40 mm drill be inspected?
Inspect the double margins for wear after each deep-hole cycle or when hole tolerance drifts; replace the drill once margin width drops below the minimum for 11.40 mm guidance.
