9.80 mm double-margin drill for precision holes

The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 5X double-margin drill has a 9.80 mm cutting diameter and is built for accurate, repeatable holes in demanding materials. Its solid construction and five-times-diameter flute length suit production and maintenance work where hole quality matters. Machinists and tool-room staff will find it suited to CNC and rigid manual setups.

Thermal and power behaviour in normal use

The drill runs with steady chip evacuation thanks to its double-margin design, which reduces friction and heat build-up during extended cuts. Lower cutting temperatures help maintain tool life and dimensional accuracy without requiring exotic coolants. Power draw follows the machine spindle load and stays consistent when feed and speed match the material.

Fitment in a workshop setup

The 9.80 mm shank fits standard ER collets, Weldon holders and hydraulic chucks that accept this diameter, so no special adapters are needed. Its 5X flute length reaches deeper features while the double margins guide the tool, freeing the programmer from frequent peck cycles. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 9.80 mm Cyclone Xd 5X drill in my drill press, and what step is often missed?

Secure the 9.80 mm shank fully in the chuck, ensuring the double margin flutes clear the jaws; the step often missed is not tightening the chuck evenly, which causes run-out.

What maintenance or replacement will the 9.80 mm Cyclone Xd 5X drill need later?

The solid carbide cutting edges will dull over time; plan to resharpen or replace the drill once hole quality or feed force degrades beyond acceptable limits.

What limit appears first on the 9.80 mm Cyclone Xd 5X drill during sustained high-speed drilling?

Heat buildup at the cutting margins typically limits sustained use before the tool material itself fails, requiring reduced feed rates or coolant intervals.
