Precision drilling tool

The M.A. Ford Twister Brad and Spur Drill is a 5.90 mm cutting accessory designed for accurate hole creation in wood and similar materials. Its brad-point tip reduces wandering at the start of the cut, while the spur design shears fibres cleanly for a smooth bore. This new item suits woodworkers and trade professionals who need repeatable precision on a drill press or hand drill.

Upgrade from standard twist bits

It replaces conventional twist drills that tend to skate across the surface and leave rough entry holes. The jump is worth it when hole placement must be exact and tear-out on the back side is unacceptable, such as joinery, dowelling or hardware installation. Standard bits remain adequate for rough framing or pilot holes where finish quality is secondary.

Practical limits of the brad-point design

The fixed 5.90 mm diameter means each task requires a dedicated bit; there is no adjustable range. Deep holes demand frequent withdrawal to clear chips, otherwise heat builds and the cutting edges dull prematurely. The tool is not suited for metal, masonry or abrasive composites, which will destroy the spurs rapidly.

Questions about this item

What drill chuck size is required for the 5.90 mm shank of the M.A. Ford 20723230?

A standard 6 mm or 1/4 inch drill chuck will accept the 5.90 mm shank of the M.A. Ford 20723230 Twister Brad and Spur Drill.

How do I install the M.A. Ford 20723230 Twister Brad and Spur Drill without damaging the spur?

Insert the 5.90 mm shank fully into the chuck and tighten securely; the common error is leaving the shank short, which lets the drill walk and breaks the spur tip.

When should the M.A. Ford 20723230 Twister Brad and Spur Drill be replaced?

Replace the drill when the brad point or spur edges become dull enough to tear wood fibres instead of cutting cleanly, or if the 5.90 mm shank shows wear or corrosion.
