Silver 5/32 inch three-flute twist drill bit P22915620

M.A. Ford

M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 5/32 22915620

SKU CH-71FG-J7ZN4

A 5/32 inch three-flute drill designed for aluminium and similar materials

  • 3-flute geometry clears chips efficiently in aluminium
  • Twister Al 5X coating reduces heat build-up during drilling
  • 5/32 inch diameter suits precision hole-making tasks
  • California Proposition 65 warning informs safe handling practices
  • Brand-new condition ensures full factory performance

Application & User

This M.A. Ford Twister Al drill is built for aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. The three-flute design targets machinists and fabricators who need fast chip evacuation and a clean finish in soft materials. It is not intended for hardened steel, stainless alloys or high-temperature superalloys where a different geometry and coating are required.

Critical Specification

The 5X diameter-to-length ratio defines the reach of this 5/32 inch tool. That proportion determines whether the drill can complete the hole in a single pass or if a Peck cycle is needed. Buyers who need a shorter 3X stub or a longer 8X extra-length drill must select a different part number.

Thermals, Noise & Power

Cutting aluminium at recommended speeds generates moderate heat that the uncoated flute surfaces dissipate through the chips themselves. Machine spindle load stays low because the three-flute geometry balances cutting forces, keeping vibration and audible noise at typical levels for non-ferrous work. No special coolant strategy is implied by the supplied data.

Questions about this item

What does the 5X designation mean for drilling performance in aluminium?

The 5X label indicates this drill is engineered for five times the tool life in aluminium compared with standard high-speed steel drills, thanks to its specialised flute geometry and coating.

How does the 3-flute design affect chip evacuation and hole finish?

Three flutes provide more cutting edges for smoother finishes and better chip flow in soft materials like aluminium, reducing clogging and improving roundness.

What shank size and style does the 5/32 inch drill use for chuck compatibility?

It has a straight round shank measuring 5/32 inch, fitting standard drill chucks and collets without requiring a reduced-shank adapter.
