  • M.A. Ford manufacturing delivers professional-grade reliability

Precision Drilling Tool

The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill bit manufactured to a 4.20 mm diameter. It is engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial and automotive applications where tool rigidity and wear resistance are critical.

Material-Specific Use

This drill suits machinists and maintenance technicians cutting hardened steels, stainless alloys, or high-temperature materials where standard high-speed steel bits wear quickly. It is not intended for woodworking, masonry, or soft non-ferrous metals where the carbide substrate and geometry offer no advantage over cheaper alternatives.

Diameter Constraint

The 4.20 mm cutting diameter determines the exact hole size this tool produces, making it the sole specification that confirms fit for a specific pilot hole, tap drill chart requirement, or fastener clearance.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 4.20 mm Twister Xd 5X drill for my application?

The 4.20 mm diameter suits holes of that exact size; the 5X length gives five-times-diameter reach for deeper drilling in steel and cast iron.

What does the 5X designation mean when the drill is in the machine?

5X indicates a flute length five times the 4.20 mm diameter, allowing deeper holes without Peck cycles in tough materials.

What shank interface does the 2XDSR1654A use and what does it limit?

The solid carbide body uses a standard cylindrical shank that fits common drill chucks and collets, limiting use to rigid tool holders.
