Solid carbide drill for precision holes

The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill bit manufactured for accurate hole-making in a variety of materials. Its 2.90 mm cutting diameter suits applications that require a specific pilot or clearance size. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

3X diameter drilling depth capacity

The 3X designation indicates a flute length designed for holes up to three times the drill diameter, providing adequate reach for typical through-hole and blind-hole tasks. Deeper holes or high-volume production runs may exceed the effective chip evacuation and cooling limits of this length.

Replaces shorter or worn general-purpose bits

This drill upgrades from standard jobber-length or high-speed steel bits when tighter tolerance and longer tool life are required. The step is justified when hole quality and repeatability outweigh the higher initial cost of solid carbide.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.90 mm Twister Xd 3X drill fit the chuck of my older drill press?

The shank follows standard fractional sizing for 2.90 mm drills, so it fits any three-jaw chuck that accepts 3 mm or 1/8 inch capacity.

How do I confirm the Twister Xd 3X is cutting cleanly after I install it?

Run a test hole in scrap metal; a properly working drill produces a round, burr-free hole with consistent chip evacuation and no chatter.

Does the 2XDSS1142A package include any coolant or lubricant, or must I buy that separately?

The box contains only the solid carbide drill; cutting fluid or paste must be purchased separately.
