M.A. Ford CXDCS 1030AP Cyclone Xd 10.30 mm coolant fed double margin drill

10.30 mm Cyclone Xd coolant-fed drill

The M.A. Ford CXDCS 1030AP is a 10.30 mm diameter drill designed for coolant-fed machining applications. Its double margin geometry supports hole straightness and surface finish in production drilling tasks. This new cutting tool targets machinists and manufacturing engineers who require precise, deep-hole capability with internal coolant delivery.

Double margin design and coolant limits

The double margin construction guides the drill to maintain alignment, though chip evacuation still depends on adequate coolant pressure and volume. The 3X designation indicates a length-to-diameter ratio suited for moderately deep holes rather than extreme depths. Users must verify machine spindle coolant capability matches the tool's feed requirements to avoid thermal damage.

Installation and common issues

Secure the drill in a high-precision holder with minimal runout to protect the cutting edges and margins. Ensure the coolant passages are clear before starting, as blockages cause rapid overheating and premature wear. Incorrect feed rates or insufficient coolant flow are the primary causes of margin damage and hole quality problems.
