M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford 22936800 is a three-flute drill designed for aluminium and similar non-ferrous metals. It serves machinists and fabricators who need accurate holes in softer alloys without the clogging common with standard twist drills. The specialised geometry targets high material-removal rates in dedicated aluminium applications.
Three-flute geometry for aluminium workflows
The 5X flute configuration evacuates chips efficiently, reducing the need for frequent peck cycles and freeing spindle time on CNC mills or manual drill presses. It fits standard tool holders and collets, so no proprietary adapters are required. The design suits production runs where consistent hole quality and reduced cycle time matter more than versatility across multiple material groups.
Low heat generation in non-ferrous cutting
The polished flutes and sharp cutting edges minimise friction, keeping workpiece temperatures down during extended drilling sessions. Lower cutting forces reduce audible chatter and vibration compared with general-purpose drills. Power draw on the machine spindle remains moderate, allowing use on lighter-duty equipment without overload trips. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the tool coating.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum drilling depth before chip evacuation becomes the limiting factor on the Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill?
The 5X length-to-diameter ratio allows drilling up to five times the drill diameter before chip evacuation limits further penetration.
How much heat does the Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill generate during continuous operation in aluminium?
The three-flute geometry and polished flutes reduce friction, keeping heat buildup low during extended aluminium drilling.
Which tool holder or machine spindle is required to run the Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill?
A standard drill chuck or collet that matches the drill shank diameter is needed to secure the tool.
