M.A. Ford 8.50mm Twister Xd Drill

The M.A. Ford 2XDSS3346A is a solid carbide drill designed for power and pneumatic tool systems. Its 8.50mm cutting diameter suits precise hole-making in metal and composite materials. The Twister Xd 3X geometry supports efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations. This accessory arrives new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

Suited for CNC and high-speed drilling

Machinists and maintenance technicians who need a rigid, wear-resistant carbide drill for repetitive 8.50mm holes will benefit from the 3X flute design. It is not intended for hand-held use without a rigid spindle or for materials that require coolant-through tooling. Buyers needing larger diameters, longer reach, or indexable inserts should consider other tooling options.

Fits standard 8.50mm tool holders

The straight shank seats in collets, hydraulic chucks or shrink-fit holders sized for 8.50mm shanks. No special coolant adapters are required for external flood cooling. The solid carbide construction eliminates the need for separate insert inventory and reduces tool-change time in automated cells. Ensure machine rigidity and run-out control to achieve full tool life.

Questions about this item

What size collet or chuck do I need to hold the 8.50 mm shank of this Twister Xd drill?

A standard 8.50 mm drill chuck or ER collet will grip the shank securely; match the holder to your spindle or drill press capacity.

Will the 3X solid carbide geometry cut effectively in the mild steel and aluminium I usually machine with older HSS bits?

Yes, the 3X carbide design handles mild steel and aluminium well and typically lasts longer than HSS at the same feed rates.

How can I verify the drill is cutting correctly once installed?

Check for consistent chip formation, steady spindle load and a hole diameter within tolerance of 8.50 mm after the first few parts.
