Cyclone Xd 5X Drill 17/64
This solid double-margin drill is built for precision hole-making in demanding materials. Machinists and maintenance technicians use it where hole accuracy and tool life are critical. The 17/64 inch diameter suits applications that require this exact size.
Installation and common issues
The drill fits standard tool holders that accept its shank; secure it tightly to prevent run-out. Common problems include premature wear if the workpiece is not rigid or if coolant is insufficient. Incorrect speed or feed also reduces tool life quickly.
Practical limits of the design
The fixed 17/64 inch diameter means the tool cannot produce other hole sizes without regrinding. The solid construction offers strength but no internal coolant passage. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the presence of chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.
