Drill for precision holes
The M.A. Ford 30010240 Twister GP 5X drill creates 2.60 mm diameter holes with a straight shank that fits standard chucks. It is built for machinists and maintenance technicians who need accurate drilling in metal and composite materials. The solid carbide construction resists wear during repetitive production runs.
Straight shank compatibility
The straight shank design allows immediate use in drill presses, milling machines and handheld drills without additional collets or adapters. This simplicity reduces setup time on the shop floor and eliminates the runout that can occur with reduction sleeves. Operators can switch between machines without retooling.
Limited to single diameter
The fixed 2.60 mm cutting diameter handles that specific hole size efficiently but cannot produce larger or smaller bores. Shops requiring a range of diameters must stock multiple drills or choose an adjustable alternative. The 5X length-to-diameter ratio provides reach for moderately deep holes while maintaining rigidity.

Questions about this item
Will the 2.60 mm straight shank fit a standard 3-jaw chuck without an adapter?
The 2.60 mm diameter shank fits most 3-jaw chucks that accept small bits, though very large capacity chucks may not grip it securely.
At what point does the Twister GP 5X flute geometry stop clearing chips effectively in deep holes?
Chip evacuation remains effective up to roughly five times the 2.60 mm diameter, matching the 5X design intent; deeper holes may require peck drilling.
Does the drill generate noticeable heat when run continuously in steel?
The Twister GP 5X geometry is designed for efficient cutting, reducing heat build-up during sustained drilling in typical materials.
