Drill for 5.50 mm holes

The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 3X is a solid double margin drill designed to produce 5.50 mm diameter holes. It suits workshops and production lines that need accurate drilling in a range of materials. The tool is supplied new and ready for immediate use.

Thermals and power in normal use

The double margin design supports stable cutting and helps manage heat during operation. Consistent coolant flow or air blast keeps temperatures controlled at standard feed rates. Power draw follows the machine spindle load and the material being drilled.

Upgrade from single margin drills

This drill replaces single margin tools when tighter hole tolerance and better surface finish are required. The step up is justified for repeated runs where hole quality reduces secondary operations. It is not suited for applications needing larger diameters or specialised coating types not listed here.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5.50 mm Cyclone Xd drill in my drill chuck, and what step is often missed?

Open the chuck fully, insert the shank completely, and tighten securely; the step often missed is verifying the drill runs true before starting the cut.

What maintenance or replacement will the 5.50 mm Cyclone Xd drill need later?

The solid carbide drill will eventually dull; resharpening by a specialist service can restore the double-margin geometry, otherwise replace the tool when hole quality drops.

What limit appears first on the 5.50 mm Cyclone Xd drill during sustained drilling?

Heat buildup at the cutting edges is the first limit; using appropriate coolant and peck cycles prevents premature wear on the 5.50 mm diameter.
