Solid double-margin drill

The M.A. Ford CXDSS 0540AP Cyclone Xd is a 3X solid double-margin drill with a 5.40 mm diameter. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need a rigid, self-centring tool for accurate hole-making in metal. The double-margin design improves guidance and finish quality during production runs. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Build integration

The 5.40 mm shank fits standard drill holders and collets used in CNC machines and manual drill presses. No special adapters or coolant-through spindles are required for basic operation. The solid carbide construction resists deflection, freeing the operator from frequent tool changes when drilling tough alloys. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Upgrade context

This drill replaces single-margin or high-speed steel bits that wander or wear quickly in abrasive materials. The jump is worthwhile when hole straightness and surface finish must stay consistent over long batches. It is not suited for buyers who need larger diameters or indexable insert tooling. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item

How deep can the 5.40 mm drill cut before chip evacuation becomes the limiting factor?

The 3X solid double-margin design on the 5.40 mm drill is built to clear chips at up to three times the diameter, so sustained cutting is limited by the flute length rather than packing.

Does the 5.40 mm drill generate noticeable heat or vibration during continuous drilling in steel?

The double-margin geometry on the 5.40 mm drill stabilises the tool in the hole, reducing vibration and the frictional heat that builds up during long runs.

What shank size must my drill chuck accept to hold the 5.40 mm Cyclone Xd bit?

The 5.40 mm Cyclone Xd drill uses a standard straight shank that matches its 5.40 mm cutting diameter, so any chuck that opens to at least 5.40 mm will hold it.
