Solid Carbide Drill 4.80 mm

The M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X is a solid carbide drill bit sized at 4.80 mm. It is built for machine shops and maintenance teams that need reliable holemaking in steel, cast iron and similar alloys. The 5X diameter-to-length ratio suits short-depth drilling in CNC and manual operations.

Replacing worn HSS or cobalt drills

Switching to this carbide tool makes sense when high-speed steel bits dull too quickly or when cycle time must be reduced. The upgrade pays off in repeatable hole size and longer intervals between tool changes. It is not for buyers who need a larger diameter or a longer flute length than 5X.

Fits standard 4.80 mm tool holders

The shank matches common collet and chuck sizes for 4.80 mm tooling, so no adapter is required. Rigid workpiece clamping and proper coolant delivery let the drill reach its design life. The bit does not suit handheld drilling or applications without through-coolant capability.
