- 9/64 inch diameter suits precise hole-making tasks
- 57 mm metric equivalent supports dual-system workflows
M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 8X Drill
The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 8X is a coolant-fed double margin drill built for high-performance drilling tasks. It serves machinists and technicians who require precision hole-making in demanding materials. The design supports efficient chip evacuation and temperature control during operation. This new tool arrives ready for professional workshop use.
Suited for deep-hole accuracy
This drill suits users running CNC machines or rigid setups with through-coolant capability who need straight, accurate holes at depth. It is not for buyers without coolant delivery systems or those drilling only shallow holes in soft materials. Hand-held drilling or low-rigidity applications will not realise the design benefits. Shops needing larger diameters should look at other tooling options.
Standard shank fits common holders and collets
Installation follows normal tool-holding practice: secure the shank in a compatible holder, align the coolant port, and verify run-out before cutting. The double-margin geometry reduces wandering but demands accurate spindle alignment and stable workholding. Common issues arise from insufficient coolant pressure or misaligned holders causing premature margin wear. Always confirm machine compatibility before first use.

Questions about this item
What machine spindle and coolant system do I need to run the CXDCL1406AP 8X coolant-fed drill?
The CXDCL1406AP requires a machine spindle that accepts a 9/64 inch shank and a through-spindle coolant delivery system capable of supplying fluid at the pressure recommended for 8X diameter deep-hole drilling.
Can I use the CXDCL1406AP in a standard drill chuck without through-coolant on my older milling machine?
The CXDCL1406AP is designed for through-coolant operation; running it in a standard chuck without internal coolant will prevent chips from evacuating properly at 3.57 mm diameter and 8X depth, leading to premature failure.
How do I verify the CXDCL1406AP is cutting correctly after installation?
Check that coolant flows visibly from the drill point, listen for a steady cutting sound without chatter, and measure the hole diameter and straightness to confirm it matches the 3.57 mm specification at full 8X depth.
