M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X Solid Carbide Drill 3.80 mm

SKU CH-JREV-4RYVY

Solid carbide drill creates precise 3.80 mm holes in demanding materials

  • Solid carbide construction resists wear for longer tool life
  • 3X diameter drilling depth reaches deeper holes in one pass
  • 80 mm diameter suits precise metric hole requirements
  • M.A. Ford manufacturing delivers professional-grade cutting performance
  • Twister Xd geometry improves chip evacuation during drilling

Precise 3.80 mm drilling

The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X solid carbide drill cuts a 3.80 mm hole in steel and cast iron. Its 3X diameter flute length gives deeper reach without pecking. The solid carbide body resists wear at high cutting speeds. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Stepping up from standard jobber drills

A conventional jobber drill flexes and burns out when holes exceed twice the diameter. The 3X design holds size and finish deeper in the workpiece. The upgrade pays off when cycle time matters and regrinds are costly. It does not suit shallow holes where a shorter drill is more rigid.

CNC and rigid manual setups

The drill needs a holder with minimal runout and a machine spindle that delivers consistent feed. Coolant through the tool or flood coolant clears chips from the deep flutes. It frees the operator from frequent peck cycles and reduces tool-change downtime. Hand-held use is not recommended.

Questions about this item

What shank size fits the 3.80 mm Twister Xd drill?

The 3.80 mm drill uses a matching 3.80 mm shank that fits any standard drill chuck or collet rated for that diameter.

How do you install the Twister Xd drill without snapping the carbide?

Tighten the chuck evenly on the cylindrical shank; the step people miss is applying steady pressure at the marked 3X depth instead of pecking.

When does the 3.80 mm solid carbide drill need replacement?

Replace it when the cutting lips show visible rounding or when hole diameter drifts beyond tolerance for the 1496 series.
