Twister GP 5X 0.55 mm drill

The M.A. Ford 30002170 is a 0.55 mm straight-shank drill from the Twister GP 5X range. It is made for precision hole-making in general machining applications where a very small diameter is required.

Replaces larger or less rigid small drills

This drill replaces larger-diameter tools when a 0.55 mm hole is specified, or upgrades from standard high-speed steel drills that deflect or break at this size. The jump is worth it when hole accuracy and tool life at micro diameters are critical.

Straight shank fits standard holders

The straight shank installs directly into collets or drill chucks sized for 0.55 mm shanks. Common issues are holder runout exceeding the drill's tight tolerance and insufficient coolant pressure to clear chips from such a small flute.
