M.A. Ford 30010040 Twister GP 5X drill
The M.A. Ford 30010040 Twister GP 5X drill is a straight-shank cutting tool with a 2.55 mm diameter. It is designed for precision holemaking in a variety of materials. Professional machinists and maintenance technicians use it for accurate drilling operations. The product is supplied in new condition.
Sustained cutting performance
The Twister GP 5X geometry supports consistent chip evacuation during extended drilling cycles. This design helps maintain hole quality and tool life when running at recommended speeds and feeds. Heat buildup is managed through the flute structure during prolonged use. Steady performance reduces the need for frequent tool changes.
Pre-order checks
Verify that your machine spindle or chuck accepts a straight shank of this diameter. Confirm the workpiece material matches the drill’s intended application range. Check that your coolant or lubrication setup is adequate for the operation. Review the California Proposition 65 notices regarding chemical exposure before handling.

Questions about this item
Does the 2.55 mm Twister GP 5X drill generate noticeable heat or noise during extended use?
The drill is a solid carbide cutting tool with no motor, so it produces no operational noise or heat of its own; any heat or sound comes from the machine spindle and workpiece.
What shank size must my drill press or hand drill accept to hold the 30010040 straight shank?
The drill has a straight shank matching its 2.55 mm cutting diameter, so your chuck or collet must grip a 2.55 mm round shank.
Will the Twister GP 5X 30010040 work reliably in an older drill press with run-out?
The solid carbide construction tolerates moderate run-out better than HSS drills, but excessive run-out on older machines will still reduce hole accuracy and tool life.
