Cyclone Drill for Aluminium 5X 2 Flute

The M.A. Ford Cyclone drill is a coolant-fed cutting tool built for aluminium machining. Its 5× diameter flute length and two-flute geometry support deep-hole drilling with efficient chip evacuation. The design targets professional workshops and production environments that need reliable performance in non-ferrous materials.

Replaces standard twist drills in aluminium

Conventional drills often struggle with chip packing and heat in deep aluminium holes. This tool upgrades that process by delivering coolant directly to the cutting zone and using a polished flute profile to move chips out. The jump is worth it when hole depth exceeds typical jobber lengths and cycle time matters.

Coolant-fed interface requires machine support

The through-tool coolant system needs a spindle or holder capable of delivering pressurised fluid. Without that supply the drill cannot clear chips or control temperature as intended. Shops without coolant-through capability will not gain the full advantage of the 5× length design.

Questions about this item

What size tool holder or collet does the 940 shank require?

The 940 shank fits a matching 940 collet or a holder bored to that diameter; verify the holder run-out before tightening.

How do I start the coolant-fed 5X 2 flute drill without damaging the tip?

Engage coolant flow first, then ramp the spindle to speed before the point contacts the aluminium.

When should the carbide cutting edges on this Cyclone drill be serviced?

Inspect the two flutes after each shift; send for re-grinding once the margin width shows visible wear or hole tolerance drifts.
