M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a 15.80mm three-flute drill designed for high-performance drilling in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. It is built for professional machinists and fabricators who need accurate holes with efficient chip evacuation in softer metals. The 22962200 model delivers the rigidity and geometry required for consistent results in production environments.
Suited for aluminium work, not hardened steel
This drill suits workshops focused on aluminium, brass or copper alloys where the specialised flute geometry prevents loading and improves finish. It is not intended for drilling hardened steels, stainless alloys or exotic superalloys where different substrate and coating combinations are required. Buyers needing a general-purpose twist drill for mixed-material jobbing should look at a different tool family.
15.80mm diameter with 5X depth capability
The 15.80mm diameter provides a precise hole size for common fastener and dowel applications in non-ferrous workpieces. The 5X length-to-diameter ratio offers useful reach for through-holes and deep pockets without excessive deflection in aluminium. In harder or abrasive materials the same geometry will wear rapidly and lose positional accuracy, limiting practical use to the intended alloy range.

Questions about this item
What shank size must my drill chuck accept for the 15.80 mm Twister Al 5X bit?
The drill has a 15.80 mm cutting diameter; verify your chuck capacity matches or exceeds this size before use.
Will the three-flute design cut cleanly in the aluminium alloys I already machine?
The three-flute geometry is optimised for aluminium, giving smooth chip evacuation in the alloys you currently run.
How can I confirm the 22962200 drill is performing correctly after the first holes?
Check for consistent 15.80 mm hole diameter, minimal burrs and steady feed force without vibration.
