Solid carbide drill for high-speed drilling
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill built for high-speed drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its 11.30mm diameter suits production runs where consistent hole quality and tool life matter. The 3X flute geometry improves chip evacuation at elevated feed rates. Machinists and maintenance teams use it on CNC mills and rigid drill presses.
Prop 65 notice and direct shipping
The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for substances linked to cancer and reproductive harm. No coolant, coatings or software are bundled with the drill. The supplier ships the item directly from the manufacturer, which reduces handling steps before it reaches the workshop.
11.30mm diameter capacity and limits
The 11.30mm cutting diameter handles through-holes and blind holes up to three times the diameter in steel, stainless steel and aluminium alloys. Beyond that depth or in abrasive composites, chip packing can reduce tool life. The solid carbide body resists wear but is brittle; interrupted cuts or poor rigidity increase breakage risk.

Questions about this item
How often will the 11.30mm carbide cutting edges need resharpening or replacement?
Solid carbide drills hold their edge longer than HSS; resharpening is typically needed only when flank wear reaches the limit for your tolerance band.
What limit appears first during continuous drilling with the 2XDSS4449A?
Chip evacuation in deep 3×D holes usually becomes the bottleneck before the carbide substrate reaches thermal limits.
How much heat and noise does the Twister XD generate in all-day production runs?
Expect elevated heat at the drill point and moderate high-pitched cutting noise; flood coolant or through-spindle coolant controls both effectively.
