M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd Drill
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd is an 8X coolant fed double margin drill sized at 35/64. It targets machinists who need deep hole capability with through tool coolant delivery. The double margin design improves hole straightness and surface finish in demanding materials. This cutting tool suits high volume production environments requiring consistent accuracy.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your machine spindle accepts the shank style used on this CXDCL5469AP model. Confirm the coolant system can supply pressure and flow adequate for an 8X depth to diameter ratio. Ensure the workholding provides rigidity suitable for the 35/64 diameter at extended lengths. Review material specific speed and feed data for the substrate being drilled.
Sustained load behaviour
Coolant fed operation maintains stable temperatures throughout the full 8X drilling cycle. The double margins reduce vibration and margin wear during continuous engagement in tough alloys. Chip evacuation remains consistent because coolant flushes the entire flute length without interruption. Tool life extends predictably when recommended parameters are followed for the application.

Questions about this item
What comes with the CXDCL5469AP drill and what must be purchased separately?
The CXDCL5469AP is supplied as the drill bit only. Coolant supply fittings, tool holders and work-holding fixtures are not included and must be sourced separately.
Which CXDCL5469AP version should I choose for a 35/64 inch hole?
The CXDCL5469AP is manufactured specifically for a 35/64 inch diameter. No other diameter versions exist for this part number, so select this model when that exact hole size is required.
What does the 8X designation mean when the drill is in the machine?
The 8X rating indicates the flute length is eight times the 35/64 inch diameter, allowing deeper holes in a single pass without pecking.
