Twister XD 3X 15.70mm drill bit

The M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X is a solid carbide drill designed for demanding drilling tasks in workshops and production environments. Its 15.70mm cutting diameter suits applications that require a precise hole at this specific size. The solid carbide construction provides the rigidity needed for accurate results in tough materials.

Carbide tool practical limits

Solid carbide offers high hardness and wear resistance but is more brittle than high-speed steel alternatives. The 15.70mm diameter requires sufficient machine rigidity and spindle power to maintain stability during the cut. Interrupted cuts or excessive run-out can cause chipping or premature failure of the cutting edges.

Installation and common issues

Secure the drill in a high-quality collet or hydraulic holder to minimise run-out and vibration. Use the correct coolant pressure and flow for the material being drilled to evacuate chips effectively. The most frequent problems are chipping from poor clamping, overheating from insufficient coolant, and hole oversize caused by excessive run-out.
