M.A. Ford CXDCS 0570AP Cyclone Xd 5.70 mm drill

5.70 mm coolant-fed drill

The M.A. Ford CXDCS 0570AP Cyclone Xd is a 5.70 mm diameter drill designed for precision hole-making in metalworking applications. It features a 3X coolant-fed design with double margins that improve hole straightness and surface finish. This new cutting tool targets machinists and maintenance technicians who require consistent performance in production drilling operations.

Through-coolant design for chip evacuation

Internal coolant channels deliver cutting fluid directly to the drill point, which helps evacuate chips from deep holes and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edges. The double-margin geometry guides the drill within the hole, maintaining alignment without requiring external bushings or pilot holes in many materials. This design frees up setup time by combining drilling and finishing in a single pass.

Diameter-specific capacity and limits

The 5.70 mm cutting diameter determines the hole size this tool produces, with the 3X length-to-diameter ratio defining its effective drilling depth range. The coolant-fed system extends tool life in materials that generate excessive heat, though the fixed diameter means a different drill is required for any other hole size. The double margins add stability but increase torque demand compared to single-margin designs.
