Precision Coolant Drill for Deep Holes

The M.A. Ford HPDCR 1280A Twister HPD is a 5X diameter coolant-fed drill built for 12.80 mm holes. It targets machinists who need accurate deep-hole drilling in a single pass without pecking cycles. The tool suits CNC operations where coolant delivery through the shank improves chip evacuation and tool life.

Coolant Pressure and Machine Rigidity Set the Limit

Effective use demands a machine spindle and holder capable of supplying coolant at sufficient pressure through the drill shank. Without adequate flow, chips can pack in the deep flutes of a 5X tool, leading to breakage or poor surface finish. Light-duty machines or setups lacking through-spindle coolant cannot exploit the design.

Solid Carbide Construction

The solid carbide body resists deflection at 5X depth, while the internal coolant passages exit at the cutting lips to flush chips forward. This design reduces cycle time by eliminating peck drills. Shops without high-pressure coolant systems or rigid tool holders will not achieve the intended performance.

Questions about this item

Is the 12.80 mm size the right choice for my application?

The 12.80 mm diameter is the only size offered for this drill; choose it when your hole specification matches that dimension exactly.

What does the 5X designation mean when the drill is in the machine?

5X indicates a five-times-diameter flute length, giving a deeper drilling reach in a single pass with the 12.80 mm tool.

Does the coolant-through design require a specific spindle interface?

The drill uses internal coolant channels that connect through a standard toolholder; the machine must supply coolant pressure to the holder for through-spindle delivery.
