  • California Proposition 65 warning informs safe handling practices

Product Identity

M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X solid carbide drill, 5.70 mm diameter. Designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. Suited for professional machinists and maintenance technicians requiring reliable performance.

Suitability

Ideal for users drilling hardened steels and high-temperature alloys where carbide rigidity is essential. Not for buyers who need larger diameters, different flute lengths, or indexable insert tooling for high-volume production.

Decisive Specification

5.70 mm cutting diameter determines fit for the required hole size. The 3X length ratio sets reach and rigidity limits for the application. Verify diameter and depth needs before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 5.70 mm carbide drill generate noticeable heat during extended drilling?

Solid carbide construction dissipates heat efficiently, reducing thermal buildup during continuous operation in steel or alloy workpieces.

What tool holder or chuck is required to run the 2XDSS2244A?

A standard drill chuck or collet that accepts a 5.70 mm shank is needed; the drill has a straight shank with no special drive flats.

Will the 2XDSS2244A fit in older drill presses that only take imperial shanks?

The 5.70 mm metric shank requires a chuck or collet sized for metric diameters; an imperial-only chuck will not clamp it securely.
