M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a three-flute drill bit sized at 15.50 mm and identified by part number 22961020. It is designed for machining aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials in professional workshop environments. This new cutting tool targets machinists who need efficient chip evacuation in dedicated aluminium applications.
Straight-shank mounting and aluminium focus
The drill fits standard tool holders that accept its shank, allowing quick changes on milling machines or drill presses. The three-flute geometry is optimised for aluminium, so using it on steel, titanium or abrasive composites will accelerate wear and can cause premature failure. Proper coolant flow and rigid workholding are essential to avoid chatter and maintain hole quality.
Sustained cutting in non-ferrous metals
Under continuous operation the polished flutes and specialised geometry promote consistent chip curling and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge during long production runs. Heat generation remains lower than with general-purpose drills because the design minimises friction in soft, sticky alloys. The tool maintains dimensional stability throughout extended passes in aluminium billets or plate.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 15.50 mm Twister Al 5X drill is cutting correctly after setup?
Check that the three flutes evacuate chips cleanly, the hole diameter matches 15.50 mm, and the drill runs without excessive vibration or overheating in aluminium.
What comes with the 22961020 drill and what must I supply separately?
The box contains the 15.50 mm three-flute Twister Al 5X drill only; you must provide a compatible drill chuck or tool holder, cutting fluid, and a suitable machine spindle.
Which capacity of the Twister Al 5X series should I choose for a 15.50 mm hole in aluminium?
Select the 15.50 mm variant (part number 22961020) — it is the exact diameter required for that hole size in the Twister Al 5X range.
