M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 6.70mm 22926380

Precision drilling for aluminium alloys

The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill is engineered for high-performance drilling in aluminium and non-ferrous materials. Its 6.70 mm diameter suits CNC and manual applications where clean, accurate holes are required. The three-flute geometry promotes balanced cutting forces and efficient chip evacuation. This tool targets machinists and fabricators who prioritise hole quality and tool life in soft metals.

Build integration and chip management

The 5x diameter drilling depth capability reduces the need for peck cycles in many through-hole operations. Three flutes provide more chip space than two-flute alternatives, helping to prevent packing in deep holes. The design frees up cycle time by allowing higher feed rates without sacrificing surface finish. It fits standard tool holders matching the 6.70 mm shank specification.

Sustained cutting behaviour

Under continuous load the flute geometry maintains consistent chip formation, reducing heat buildup at the cutting edges. This stability helps preserve dimensional accuracy over long production runs. The tool resists chatter thanks to its balanced three-flute layout, even at elevated speeds. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the product.
