Cyclone Xd 5X Solid Double Margin Drill 5.80mm

Cyclone Xd 5X Drill 5.80mm

This solid double margin drill is designed for precision hole-making in demanding materials. It suits machinists and fabricators who need consistent accuracy and tool life. The 5.80mm diameter fits specific pilot or clearance requirements. It is not for general-purpose drilling in soft woods or plastics where standard twist drills suffice.

Capacity and headroom at 5.80mm

The 5X designation indicates a flute length suited for depths up to five times the diameter. The double margin design improves hole straightness and surface finish in deeper cuts. It handles alloy steels and hardened materials within its recommended speed range. The drill runs out when hole depth exceeds the flute capacity or when coolant delivery cannot reach the tip.

Practical limits of the solid carbide interface

Solid carbide construction provides rigidity but is brittle under interrupted cuts or heavy run-out. The tool requires a rigid machine spindle and secure workholding to prevent chipping. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemical content in the coating or substrate. It is not for hand-held use or unstable fixturing where deflection occurs.
