M.A. Ford CXDCS 0600AP Cyclone Xd drill

The M.A. Ford CXDCS 0600AP Cyclone Xd is a 6.00 mm coolant-fed drill designed for precision holemaking. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a double-margin geometry for improved hole straightness and surface finish. The tool targets applications requiring consistent coolant delivery directly to the cutting zone. It is not for buyers who need larger diameters or indexable insert systems.

Double margin design with through-coolant channels

The double margin construction provides four-point contact to stabilise the drill during deep-hole operations. Internal coolant passages feed fluid to the tip, aiding chip evacuation and reducing heat buildup at the cutting edges. This configuration supports tighter tolerances in materials that work-harden or produce stringy chips. The shank fits standard tool holders without proprietary adapters.

Thermal management and cutting performance

Through-coolant delivery controls temperatures at the drill point, extending tool life in demanding alloys. Efficient chip removal lowers cutting forces and reduces the risk of built-up edge formation. The geometry maintains consistent performance across the full 3X diameter drilling depth. Operators should match feed and speed parameters to the specific workpiece material.
