Precision Micro Drill for Hard Materials

The M.A. Ford Twister Micro-Tuff Drill 2.60 mm 305M0260AM is a solid-carbide micro drill built for precision holes in tough alloys. It targets machinists and tool rooms that need reliable small-diameter drilling without peck cycles. The 2.60 mm diameter suits fine-detail work in aerospace, medical and mould-making shops.

Sustained Cutting Stability

The Twister Micro-Tuff geometry reduces thrust and heat during extended drilling in hardened steels and high-temperature alloys. Its flute design evacuates chips efficiently so the tool runs cooler and maintains size over long production runs. Coating and substrate resist wear when cycle times increase beyond short test cuts.

Upgrade from General-Purpose Micro Drills

Shops replacing standard carbide micro drills gain longer tool life and tighter hole tolerance in difficult materials. The jump is worth it when scrap rates rise on stainless, titanium or Inconel jobs. It does not suit high-volume non-ferrous work where uncoated geometry or through-coolant drills perform better.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.60 mm drill generate noticeable heat during extended use in a hand drill?

The 2.60 mm Twister Micro-Tuff drill is designed for high-speed drilling in tough materials, and normal cutting heat will occur; use cutting fluid and proper feed rates to manage temperature.

What shank type does the 305M0260AM need to fit my drill chuck?

The 2.60 mm Twister Micro-Tuff drill has a straight cylindrical shank sized for standard three-jaw chucks on portable drills and drill presses.

Can the 2.60 mm Micro-Tuff drill be used in an older drill press with limited run-out accuracy?

The 2.60 mm drill's rigid micro-grain carbide construction tolerates moderate run-out better than standard HSS drills, but excessive run-out will reduce tool life and hole quality.
