M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 8X Coolant Fed Double Margin Drill 4.90 mm

Cyclone Xd 8X Coolant Fed Drill

The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd is a double margin drill designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. Its coolant fed design supports efficient chip evacuation and temperature control during deep drilling cycles. This tool targets machinists and fabricators who require consistent accuracy and extended tool life in production environments. The 4.90 mm diameter suits specific pilot hole and finishing requirements.

Coolant Fed 8X Diameter Depth Limit

The drill operates at an 8X diameter to depth ratio which defines its practical reach for through holes and blind holes. Coolant delivery through the tool is essential to maintain performance at this depth because it flushes chips and reduces heat buildup. Without adequate coolant pressure and filtration the drill may overheat or pack chips leading to premature wear or breakage. The double margin geometry improves hole straightness and surface finish within this depth envelope.

Check Machine Coolant And Holder Compatibility

Verify that your machine spindle and tool holder can supply coolant through the tool at the pressure and flow rate required for 8X depth drilling. Ensure the holder provides sufficient runout control to support the double margin design at this diameter. Confirm the workpiece material and fixturing are suitable for the drill geometry and the 4.90 mm size. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
