M.A. Ford CDACRM0410 Cyclone Drill for Aluminum 5X 2 Flute Coolant Fed

Cyclone Drill for Aluminum 5X 2 Flute

The M.A. Ford CDACRM0410 Cyclone Drill is a new coolant-fed cutting tool built for aluminium work. Its two-flute geometry and five-times-diameter reach suit production drilling where chip evacuation and hole straightness matter. Machinists and fabricators who need reliable performance in non-ferrous alloys will find it fits standard toolholding systems.

Replaces conventional aluminium drills lacking

Stepping up from a standard solid-carbide drill without internal coolant is worth it when hole depth approaches five diameters and heat buildup threatens tool life or surface finish. The coolant-fed design flushes chips continuously, reducing peck cycles and improving roundness. Shops drilling shallow holes in free-machining alloys may not see a measurable gain.

Limited by coolant delivery and machine rigidity

The drill’s five-times-diameter length demands stable spindle runout and consistent coolant pressure to prevent deflection or chip packing. Machines without through-spindle coolant or with limited pressure cannot exploit the internal channels fully. California Proposition 65 warnings apply, noting chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
