Twister Al 5X 12.50 mm drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a three-flute drill bit sized at 12.50 mm and identified by part number 22949210. It is designed for machining aluminium and similar non-ferrous alloys in professional workshop and production environments.
Three-flute chip evacuation under load
The three-flute geometry provides continuous chip removal during deep or prolonged drilling cycles. This reduces flute packing and heat buildup that can occur when a two-flute tool is run at sustained feed rates in sticky aluminium alloys.
Replaces standard two-flute bits for aluminium
The step up is justified when cycle time and hole quality in non-ferrous metals outweigh the higher tool cost. It is not suited for ferrous metals, composites or handheld drilling where rigidity and coolant control are limited.

Questions about this item
Does the 12.50 mm drill generate noticeable heat during continuous use?
The drill is designed for efficient chip evacuation with its three-flute geometry, which helps manage heat buildup during extended drilling in aluminium.
What shank type does the 22949210 drill require from my existing tool holder?
This drill features a standard cylindrical shank compatible with common drill chucks and collet systems used in milling machines and drill presses.
Can the Twister Al 5X drill be used in older manual drill presses?
Yes, the 12.50 mm diameter and standard shank allow it to function in older manual or CNC drill presses with adequate spindle speed and rigidity.
