A 0.65 mm straight-shank drill bit for precision hole-making in metal and composite materials
- Precise 0.65 mm diameter enables fine-hole drilling
- Twister GP 5X geometry improves chip evacuation
- Straight shank design fits standard drill chucks
- M.A. Ford manufacturing ensures professional-grade durability
- California Prop 65 notice included for safety compliance
Application
The M.A. Ford 30002560 Twister GP 5X is a solid-carbide drill with a straight shank designed for precision hole-making. Its 0.65 mm diameter suits high-speed machining in steel, stainless steel, cast iron and non-ferrous alloys. The tool targets job-shop and production environments that require consistent accuracy and long tool life.
Suitability
This drill suits CNC operators and tool-room engineers who need a rigid, short-length cutter for shallow holes in tough materials. It is not intended for hand-held drilling, deep-hole applications exceeding five-times diameter, or workpiece materials that demand coolant-through tooling. Buyers who need a larger diameter, a different shank style or internal coolant channels should select an alternative.
Deciding spec
The 0.65 mm cutting diameter is the single specification that determines whether this drill matches the required hole size. Verify the target diameter and tolerance before ordering, as no other dimension in the data changes the fit.

Questions about this item
What collet or chuck size accepts the 0.65 mm straight shank?
A precision collet or three-jaw chuck that closes to 0.65 mm is required; standard drill chucks will not grip this diameter.
How is the drill installed and what step is often missed?
Insert the shank fully into the collet, tighten evenly, and verify true run-out before starting; the step most often missed is checking concentricity at the tip.
When does the 0.65 mm drill need replacement?
Replace when the cutting lips show rounding, chipping, or when hole diameter exceeds tolerance; frequent peck drilling in abrasive material shortens life.
