Twister Xd 3X Solid Carbide Drill

The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill designed for power and pneumatic tool accessories. It targets machinists and maintenance technicians who need a durable cutting tool for general-purpose drilling tasks. The 5.50 mm diameter suits a range of standard hole-making operations in workshop environments.

5.50 mm cutting diameter

The 5.50 mm diameter is the primary specification that determines fit for a specific pilot hole or fastener size. Solid carbide construction provides high wear resistance and rigidity compared to high-speed steel alternatives. This dimension must match the required hole tolerance for the application to ensure proper fastener engagement.

Requires compatible tool holder

The drill shank must be secured in a collet, chuck or holder that accepts the tool's shank diameter and style. Rigid clamping minimises run-out and extends tool life in both CNC and manual drilling set-ups. It is not suited for applications requiring larger diameter holes or specialised coating types not featured on this model.

Questions about this item

What does the 5.50 mm diameter mean when the drill is in a machine?

The 5.50 mm size is the exact hole diameter the Twister Xd 3X will cut in the workpiece.

What shank interface does the 2XDSS2165A use and what does it limit?

It uses a standard round shank that fits any drill chuck or collet sized for 5.50 mm, limiting use to holders that accept that diameter.

What physical clearance does the 3X length require for mounting?

The 3X flute length needs a chuck grip short enough to leave the full flute exposed plus chip-clearance space beyond the workpiece.
