2.45 mm Twister GP 5X drill

The M.A. Ford 30009650 is a 2.45 mm diameter Twister GP 5X drill bit with a straight shank. It is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and other materials where a precise 2.45 mm hole is required. The bit is supplied new and is suited to workshop and maintenance tasks that call for this specific diameter.

Straight-shank installation and common issues

The straight shank fits directly into a standard drill chuck without the need for a special holder or adapter. Tighten the chuck evenly on the flats to prevent the bit from slipping during use. Problems usually arise when the chuck is not fully secured or when the workpiece is not clamped, causing the drill to walk or the shank to spin in the jaws.

Behaviour under sustained drilling

Under continuous drilling the bit maintains its cutting geometry while heat builds in the cutting zone. Using cutting fluid or periodic withdrawal helps manage temperature and clears chips from the flutes. The tool is not intended for high-volume production runs where dedicated coolant-fed or carbide tooling would be specified.
