M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X Coolant Fed Drill 6.60 mm

M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X Drill 6.60 mm

The M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X is a coolant-fed drill designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. Its 6.60 mm cutting diameter suits targeted industrial applications where through-tool coolant delivery improves chip evacuation and tool life. This new cutting tool is aimed at machinists and maintenance teams needing reliable performance in deep-hole or high-temperature drilling scenarios.

Check machine coolant system compatibility

Verify that your machine spindle and tool holder support through-coolant delivery before ordering. The drill requires a sealed connection from the coolant source through the holder to the tool shank to function as intended. Confirm the shank style matches your holder type and that the coolant pressure available meets the demands of the intended workpiece material and hole depth.

Thermal management via through-tool coolant

Internal coolant channels direct fluid to the cutting zone, controlling heat generation during extended cuts. This design reduces thermal stress on both the drill and the workpiece, supporting consistent dimensional accuracy. Efficient chip evacuation through the same channels minimises recutting and friction, contributing to lower cutting forces and quieter operation compared with external flood cooling alone.
