M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X Coolant Fed Drill 16.00 mm 2XDCR6299A

SKU CH-KK2Q-9XCAB

16.00 mm coolant-fed drill reaches 5x diameter depth for deep-hole drilling

  • Coolant-fed design clears chips efficiently during deep drilling
  • 00 mm diameter suits precise hole-making tasks
  • 5X diameter capability enables deeper holes in one pass
  • M.A. Ford brand delivers professional-grade cutting performance
  • Twister XD geometry optimises material removal rates

M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X Drill

The M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X is a coolant-fed drill designed for precise holemaking in demanding materials. It features a 16.00 mm cutting diameter and a 5X diameter drilling depth capability. The tool carries manufacturer part number 2XDCR6299A for clear identification. This new drill targets professional machinists requiring consistent performance in deep-hole applications.

Suited for deep-hole drilling with coolant

Machinists needing extended reach with internal coolant delivery will find this drill suitable for high-efficiency metal removal. The 5X depth ratio supports deeper holes in a single pass compared to shorter variants. Buyers requiring larger diameters, different length-to-diameter ratios, or non-coolant-fed tooling should evaluate alternative options. The Proposition 65 warning indicates chemical exposure considerations for workplace safety compliance.

16.00 mm diameter with 5X depth capacity

The 16.00 mm diameter handles medium-to-large hole requirements in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Internal coolant channels evacuate chips effectively at 5X depth, reducing cycle time and improving tool life. Performance diminishes when drilling beyond the designed depth ratio or in materials exceeding the substrate's hardness range. Proper coolant pressure and machine rigidity are essential to utilise the full depth capability.

Questions about this item

What machine spindle and coolant system are required to run the 16.00 mm Twister XD 5X coolant-fed drill?

The drill needs a machine spindle that accepts its shank and a through-spindle coolant system capable of delivering cutting fluid at the pressure recommended for 5×D deep-hole drilling.

Can the 2XDCR6299A be used in a standard drill press without through-coolant capability?

Without through-spindle coolant the internal channels cannot be fed, so chip evacuation and tool life will suffer; a flood-coolant setup is not a substitute for the designed coolant-fed operation.

How can I confirm the 16.00 mm Twister XD drill is cutting correctly after installation?

Check for steady chip formation, consistent spindle load, hole diameter within tolerance, and uninterrupted coolant flow from the drill point during the cycle.
