Twister Xd 5X Solid Carbide Drill

This M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill bit with an 8.40 mm cutting diameter. It belongs to the power and pneumatic accessories range and is intended for precision hole-making in demanding materials. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

Suited for high-accuracy drilling in tough alloys

Machinists and maintenance technicians who need a rigid, wear-resistant carbide drill for consistent performance will find this bit appropriate. It is not for operators who require a coated or geometry-specific variant for specialised high-feed strategies, nor for users needing a larger or smaller diameter than 8.40 mm.

Verify toolholder and machine compatibility

Confirm that your spindle or chuck accepts the shank style of the 2XDSR3307A series before ordering. Ensure the workpiece material and coolant setup match solid carbide capabilities, and review the California Proposition 65 notice regarding listed chemicals.
