M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X Solid Carbide Drill 5.40Mm 2XDSR2126A

SKU CH-MMYN-X51HJ

A 5.40 mm solid-carbide drill with a 5X design for high-performance drilling

  • Solid-carbide construction resists wear
  • Twister Xd 5X geometry improves chip evacuation
  • 40 mm diameter suits precise holes
  • M.A. Ford brand signals professional quality
  • California Proposition 65 warnings disclose chemical risks

Application focus

The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill designed for 5.40 mm holemaking in demanding materials. It targets machinists and maintenance teams who need consistent performance in production or repair environments.

Upgrade path

The 5X diameter-to-length ratio extends reach compared with shorter 3X or stub-length drills, reducing the need for secondary operations on deeper features. The jump is worthwhile when hole depth exceeds three diameters and tool changes add costly cycle time.

Build integration

The solid carbide construction provides rigidity for CNC machining centres and rigid manual setups alike, while the 5.40 mm diameter fits standard collets and holders. California Proposition 65 warnings apply, so appropriate handling procedures are required.
