Solid carbide drill for 33/64 inch holes
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X drill is a solid carbide cutting tool sized at 33/64 inch. It is intended for machinists and maintenance teams who need a rigid, wear-resistant bit for drilling tough alloys and hardened steels in CNC or manual setups. The 3X flute geometry supports deeper cuts without frequent pecking.
No accessories or software included
The product ships as a single drill bit with no bundled accessories, coatings, or software. Buyers who need a drill set, coolant system, or tool holder must source those items separately. The packaging contains only the cutting tool itself.
33/64 inch diameter decides fit
The 33/64 inch diameter is the sole specification that determines whether this drill matches the required hole size. Verify the exact fractional dimension against your print or tap chart before ordering. This bit will not suit metric or other fractional sizes.

Questions about this item
Will the 33/64-inch Twister XD 3X drill bit need resharpening or replacement after drilling hardened steel?
The solid carbide construction resists wear longer than high-speed steel; resharpening requires a diamond wheel and is practical only a few times before the 3X length becomes too short.
What stops the 2XDSS5156A from going deeper in a continuous production run?
The 3X diameter flute length limits hole depth; chip evacuation in deep holes becomes the practical limit before the shank contacts the workpiece.
How much heat does the 33/64 Twister XD generate during all-day CNC cycles?
Solid carbide runs hotter than cobalt; without through-coolant the tip temperature rises quickly, so flood coolant or peck cycles are needed to manage thermal expansion.
