M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill

The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a solid-carbide drill with three flutes and a 14.50 mm cutting diameter. It carries the manufacturer part number 22957090 and is supplied new. The tool is designed for high-performance drilling in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials.

Suited for aluminium drilling, not ferrous work

Machinists producing high volumes of accurate holes in aluminium alloys will benefit from the 5X length and three-flute geometry. Shops that primarily drill steel, stainless steel or cast iron should look at a different tool because this drill is optimised for non-ferrous chip evacuation and cutting dynamics.

14.50 mm cutting diameter decides fit

The 14.50 mm diameter is the single dimension that determines whether this drill matches the hole size required by the drawing or the tap drill chart for the intended thread. Verify the nominal diameter against the specification before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 14.50 mm Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill or a different diameter for my job?

Select the 14.50 mm size when the hole must be exactly that diameter; choose a different diameter from the range if the drawing calls for another size.

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

It indicates a flute length roughly five times the 14.50 mm diameter, giving deeper reach per plunge than shorter series.

How does the 3 flute design affect chip evacuation in aluminium?

Three flutes balance chip space and core strength, moving aluminium chips out efficiently while keeping the 14.50 mm drill rigid.
