M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill

The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a 3.00 mm diameter drill with three flutes designed for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. It suits CNC operators and maintenance technicians who need accurate holes in softer alloys.

Capacity and headroom with 3.00 mm diameter

The 3.00 mm cutting diameter handles precise pilot holes and through-holes in aluminium sheet and extrusions. The three-flute geometry provides stable chip evacuation at moderate feeds, but the small diameter limits material removal rate in thicker sections.

Upgrade path from standard two-flute drills

Replacing a conventional two-flute drill with this three-flute design reduces chatter and improves hole finish in non-ferrous work. The jump is worthwhile when cycle time and surface quality matter more than tool cost.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.00 mm shank fit the chuck on my older drill press?

The 3.00 mm diameter shank is compatible with any chuck that accepts 3 mm round shanks, which is standard on most drill presses and hand drills.

How can I verify the 3 flute Twister Al 5X is cutting correctly after installation?

You should see three distinct, evenly spaced chips forming and a smooth hole wall without chatter marks when drilling aluminium at recommended speeds.

Does the 22911810 package include any lubricant or pilot drill for the 5X depth?

The box contains only the 3.00 mm 3 flute drill itself; cutting fluid and any starter drill must be purchased separately.
