M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 4.80mm 22918890

SKU CH-P5HM-91C4N

A 4.80 mm three-flute drill designed for aluminium with a 5X length ratio

  • Optimised for aluminium with 3-flute geometry
  • 5× diameter reach for deeper holes in one pass
  • Precise 4.80 mm cutting diameter
  • M.A. Ford manufacturing quality
  • California Proposition 65 chemical warning applies

Purpose and user

This M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X drill bit is a 4.80 mm three-flute tool designed for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. It suits machinists and fabricators who need accurate holes in softer metals. Buyers working primarily in steel, titanium or hardened alloys should select a different geometry.

Compatibility check

Verify that your drill chuck or tool holder accepts a 4.80 mm shank before ordering. Confirm the workpiece material is compatible with the aluminium-optimised flute design. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Sustained cutting behaviour

The three-flute layout and Al-specific coating help evacuate chips during extended drilling cycles. This reduces flute packing and heat build-up when running at recommended speeds for non-ferrous work. Continuous operation in abrasive or high-tensile materials will degrade the cutting edges faster than in aluminium.

Questions about this item

Does the 22918890 3-flute drill come with any accessories or holders?

The 22918890 Twister Al drill is supplied as the cutting tool only; collets, holders or coolant accessories must be purchased separately.

When would I choose the 4.80 mm diameter over another size?

Select the 4.80 mm diameter when the hole specification or tap drill chart calls for that exact size; other diameters are offered for different hole requirements.

What does the 5X designation mean for hole depth in practice?

The 5X rating indicates the flute length allows drilling up to five times the 4.80 mm diameter in a single pass, subject to machine rigidity and coolant.
