Twister Gp 5X Drill 2.90mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Gp 5X Drill is a 2.90 mm straight-shank cutting tool designed for general-purpose holemaking in a workshop or maintenance environment. It suits machinists and technicians who need a precise diameter for tapping, clearance holes or pilot drilling in metal or plastic.
Straight shank fits standard holders
The straight shank seats directly in drill chucks, collets or quick-change adapters without a specialised holder, freeing the user from proprietary tooling systems. It requires a rigid machine spindle and secure workholding to maintain hole accuracy and prevent tool deflection.
Sustained cutting in production runs
Under continuous drilling cycles the carbide substrate and geometry resist heat buildup, maintaining edge integrity longer than high-speed steel alternatives. It is not intended for deep-hole drilling beyond standard flute length or for materials requiring coolant-through capability.

Questions about this item
How deep can the 2.90 mm Twister Gp 5X drill go before chip clearance becomes the limit?
The 5× diameter design supports drilling up to five times the 2.90 mm diameter in a single pass, so chip evacuation typically governs the maximum depth.
Does the drill generate noticeable heat or noise during continuous CNC operation?
As a solid-carbide cutting tool it produces cutting heat at the tip, but the drill body itself has no motor, fan or moving parts that create noise.
What shank size must the holder or collet accept for this 30011420 drill?
The straight shank matches the 2.90 mm drill diameter, so a 2.90 mm collet or an adjustable holder that grips that size is required.
