Coolant-fed double-margin drill cuts 17/64 inch and 6.75 mm holes eight diameters deep
- Coolant-fed design clears chips efficiently for deeper holes
- Double-margin construction improves hole straightness and finish
- 8× diameter reach extends drilling capability in tough materials
- 17/64 inch diameter suits precise fractional-size applications
- 75 mm metric equivalent supports dual-system workflows
Cyclone Xd 8X Coolant Fed Drill
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 8X is a coolant-fed double margin drill built for deep-hole drilling in demanding materials. Its 17/64 inch diameter and 6.75 mm metric equivalent suit precision metalworking tasks. The tool arrives new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Suited for high-volume CNC operations
Machinists running long production cycles in tough alloys will value the coolant-fed design and double margin stability. Shops without through-spindle coolant capability or those drilling shallow holes in soft materials should look at something else.
Fits standard tool holders for 17/64 shanks
The drill requires a machine equipped with internal coolant delivery to reach its 8X depth potential. It frees the operator from frequent peck cycles and reduces the need for secondary finishing passes in deep bores.

Questions about this item
What size drill chuck is needed for the 17/64 inch shank?
A chuck that opens to at least 17/64 inch is required to hold the shank securely.
Can the 8X Coolant Fed Double Margin Drill be used with a standard drill press that lacks through-spindle coolant?
Yes, it functions as a regular drill bit, but the internal coolant channels will not be used without a through-spindle supply.
How can I confirm the 6.75 mm diameter is cutting to size after installation?
Measure the finished hole with a calibrated gauge; it should read 6.75 mm within normal tolerance.
