M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X Coolant Fed Drill No 24

Drill size and application

The M.A. Ford Twister Xd coolant-fed drill in size No 24 is built for precision hole-making in demanding materials. It targets machinists and maintenance teams who need consistent chip evacuation and extended tool life when drilling deep or difficult bores. The internal coolant channel delivers fluid directly to the cutting zone, reducing heat and improving finish quality in production and repair environments.

Build integration and workflow

This drill fits standard tool holders and CNC spindles that accept its shank configuration, requiring a machine equipped with through-spindle or external coolant delivery. It eliminates the need for separate peck-drilling cycles in many materials, freeing cycle time and reducing operator intervention. The design suits rigid setups where coolant pressure and concentration can be controlled for optimal performance.

Sustained-load behaviour

Under continuous drilling the coolant-fed design maintains stable cutting temperatures, limiting thermal expansion and preserving dimensional accuracy across long runs. The 3X geometry supports efficient chip formation and evacuation even at depth, preventing packing that can cause tool failure. California Proposition 65 warnings apply: the product contains chemicals known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
