Product identity

The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill bit with an 8.70 mm cutting diameter. It is intended for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a rigid, wear-resistant tool for drilling steel, stainless steel or cast iron in CNC or manual machines.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your machine spindle, collet or drill chuck accepts an 8.70 mm shank and that the available thrust and speed range suit carbide tooling. Confirm the workpiece material and hole depth are within the bit’s 3X length design and that coolant delivery can reach the cutting zone.

Upgrade perspective

This bit replaces worn or broken carbide drills of the same diameter and length class. The step up is justified when the current tool shows rapid flank wear, chipping or poor hole finish in tough alloys, and when the application demands the stiffness of a solid carbide body rather than a cobalt or high-speed steel alternative.

Questions about this item

Does the 8.70 mm Twister Xd 3X drill come with any accessories or is it sold as a single bit?

The product is supplied as a single 8.70 mm solid carbide drill bit; no additional accessories are included.

What does the 3X in the Twister Xd 3X name indicate about this 8.70 mm drill?

The 3X designation means the flute length is three times the 8.70 mm diameter, giving a deeper drilling capacity than shorter variants.

How does the 8.70 mm diameter affect hole size when the drill is used in a machine?

The drill will produce a nominal 8.70 mm hole; actual tolerance depends on machine rigidity, coolant and workpiece material.
