14.00 mm aluminium drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a three-flute drill designed for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. Its 14.00 mm diameter suits holes for structural fasteners and pipework in fabrication shops. The 5X length provides extended reach for deep-hole applications without changing tools. It is aimed at machinists who need consistent chip evacuation in soft alloys.
Capacity and headroom
The three-flute geometry balances material removal rate with hole finish in aluminium up to moderate thicknesses. Chip packing becomes the limiting factor once depth approaches the full flute length, especially in gummy tempers. Coolant pressure and peck cycles extend practical depth, but the tool is not intended for high-volume steel drilling.
Interface limits
The drill uses a standard cylindrical shank that fits common three-jaw chucks and collet holders. Run-out at the chuck junction governs hole straightness more than the drill itself at 5X diameter. Prop 65 warnings apply to the coating chemistry, so handling procedures should follow shop safety rules. No through-coolant channel is present.

Questions about this item
Will the 14.00mm diameter fit the same collets I use with older twist drills?
The 14.00mm shank matches standard metric collets, so it will seat in the same holders you already use for 14mm twist drills.
How can I verify the 3-flute Twister Al 5X is cutting correctly once installed?
Look for a steady three-lobed chip pattern and a smooth hole wall at the 5×D depth — those are the signs the drill is tracking true.
Does the 22955120 package include any coolant adapters or just the drill body?
Only the drill body is supplied; coolant fittings, tool holders and collets must be sourced separately.
