Cylindrical silver drill bit with double flutes and pointed tip

M.A. Ford

M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 5X Double Margin Drill 4.50 mm

SKU CH-60PS-G3JP3

A 4.50 mm solid double-margin drill built for 5× diameter drilling depth

  • 5x diameter drilling depth for faster through-holes
  • Double margin design improves hole straightness and finish
  • Solid carbide construction resists wear in tough materials
  • 50 mm diameter suits precise metric hole sizes
  • Cyclone Xd geometry reduces cutting forces and heat

4.50 mm solid carbide drill

The M.A. Ford Cyclone Xd 5X is a solid carbide double-margin drill with a 4.50 mm cutting diameter. It is engineered for production drilling in steel, stainless steel and cast iron where hole accuracy and tool life matter. The 5x diameter flute length suits through-holes and blind holes up to five times the diameter deep. Machinists running CNC or rigid manual setups will find it suited to repeatable batch work.

Heat resistance and chip control

The double-margin design stabilises the drill in the cut, reducing vibration and improving hole straightness without extra cooling hardware. Solid carbide construction withstands the temperatures generated at higher spindle speeds, keeping edge wear predictable during normal cycle times. Standard flood or through-spindle coolant clears chips effectively through the 5x flute length. No special power or airflow requirements beyond normal shop supply are indicated.

Proposition 65 notice included

The package ships with the manufacturer’s California Proposition 65 documentation noting the presence of chemicals listed for cancer and reproductive harm. No additional coatings, software or mounting hardware are bundled with the drill body. The notice informs workplace safety labelling and handling procedures but does not change the tool’s cutting parameters. Operators should follow standard carbide-tool safety practices.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 4.50 mm Cyclone Xd 5X drill in my drill press and what step is often missed?

Clamp the shank fully into the chuck jaws and tighten evenly; the step often missed is verifying true run-out with a dial indicator before cutting.

What maintenance or replacement will the 4.50 mm Cyclone Xd 5X drill need later?

Resharpen the double-margin point geometry when cutting edges dull; replace the drill once the 4.50 mm diameter wears below tolerance.

What limit appears first on the 4.50 mm Cyclone Xd 5X drill during sustained drilling?

Heat buildup at the cutting lips degrades edge hardness fastest, causing premature wear before the 5X depth capacity is reached.
