2.65 mm Twister GP 5X drill
This M.A. Ford 30010430 drill is a straight-shank Twister GP 5X bit sized at 2.65 mm. It is made for precision drilling in metalworking and general fabrication tasks where a high-performance geometry is required. The tool suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need consistent hole quality in steel and alloy materials.
Straight shank fits standard chucks
The straight shank design allows direct clamping in any drill press or hand-drill chuck that accepts the shank diameter. No adapter or special holder is needed. The main installation issue occurs when the chuck jaws are worn or the shank is not fully seated, which can cause run-out or premature wear on the cutting edges.
Check chuck capacity and material hardness
Before ordering, verify that your drill chuck opens wide enough to grip the shank securely and that the workpiece material matches the bit’s intended cutting range. Confirm the machine spindle runs true so the 2.65 mm diameter can be held without excessive vibration. Also note the California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemical exposure.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the Twister Gp 5X Drill 2.65mm is cutting correctly after installing it in my drill press?
The drill should produce consistent, clean chips and a round hole at the marked 2.65 mm diameter without excessive heat or vibration when run at recommended speeds for the material.
What exactly is included with the M.A. Ford 30010430 Twister Gp 5X Drill and what must I source separately?
The package contains the 2.65 mm straight-shank Twister Gp 5X drill bit only; a compatible drill chuck, collet or tool holder and cutting fluid are not included and must be purchased separately.
The listing shows only the 2.65 mm version — how do I decide whether this diameter is the right one for my job?
Choose the 2.65 mm drill when your drawing, tap chart or fastener specification calls for that exact hole size; other diameters are sold under different part numbers.
