Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 25/64

The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a three-flute drill bit sized at 25/64 inch. It is engineered for high-performance drilling in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. The tool suits CNC and manual operations that demand clean holes and rapid chip evacuation.

Suited for aluminium and non-ferrous work

Machinists and fabricators who primarily drill aluminium, brass or copper will benefit from the geometry optimised for those metals. It is not intended for hardened steels, stainless alloys or abrasive composites where a different substrate or coating is required. Buyers needing a drill for ferrous metals or high-temperature alloys should look elsewhere.

25/64 inch diameter capacity

The 25/64 inch cutting diameter handles hole-making in that exact size across a range of aluminium thicknesses. The three-flute design provides stability and chip clearance for moderate-depth holes in a single pass. Extremely deep holes or high-volume production runs may demand a dedicated gun drill or coolant-fed tooling instead.
