M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 8X Coolant Fed Double Margin Drill 13/64 5.16
Coolant-fed double-margin drill cuts 13/64 inch and 5.16 mm holes with 8× diameter depth capability
- Coolant-fed design clears chips from deep holes
- Double-margin construction keeps the drill on centre
- 13/64 inch diameter matches common fastener sizes
- 16 mm metric equivalent fits metric tooling
- Cyclone Xd 8X geometry supports high feed rates
Application Focus
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd drill targets professional machinists who need an 8X diameter coolant-fed tool for deep-hole work in tough alloys. Its double-margin design improves hole straightness and finish during extended production runs. Buyers who need a standard-length or non-coolant drill should select a different series.
Critical Specification
The cutting diameter is 13/64 inch, which equals 5.16 millimetres, and the flute length supports an 8X depth-to-diameter ratio. This single dimension determines whether the tool fits the programmed hole size and depth requirement. Verify the exact diameter against your drawing before ordering.
Thermal and Power Behaviour
Internal coolant delivery removes heat directly from the cutting zone, reducing thermal expansion and extending edge life in high-temperature alloys. The double margins stabilise the drill, lowering vibration and spindle load during continuous cycling. Consistent coolant pressure is required to maintain these thermal advantages.

Questions about this item
What does the 8X figure mean for the 13/64 inch drill in use?
The 8X rating shows the drill can cut to a depth eight times its 13/64 inch diameter in a single pass.
What does the coolant-fed design require from the machine spindle?
The drill needs a spindle with through-coolant capability to deliver fluid directly to the cutting edges.
What clearance does the double-margin 5.16 mm body need in the holder?
The 5.16 mm shank fits a standard collet or hydraulic holder sized for that diameter.
