M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 7.80Mm 22930710

Product Identity

The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 22930710 is a 7.80 mm solid carbide drill designed for high-performance drilling in aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. Its specialised flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces built-up edge during high-speed operations. This tool targets manufacturers and machinists who require precise holes in soft, ductile alloys.

Application Fit

It suits CNC operators and job shops running dedicated aluminium campaigns where five-times-diameter depth capability and polished flutes deliver consistent finish. Workshops primarily machining steel, titanium or hardened alloys should look elsewhere because the substrate and coating are optimised for non-ferrous chip formation. Buyers needing coolant-through capability or extreme length-to-diameter ratios beyond the standard 5X design must select a different series.

Deciding Specification

The 7.80 mm cutting diameter is the single figure that determines whether this drill matches the hole size on your drawing or bill of materials. Verify the nominal diameter against the required tolerance class before ordering because the tool is ground to a specific metric size and cannot be altered. An incorrect diameter choice makes the tool unusable for the intended feature.
