16.00 mm aluminium drill for deep holes
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a 16.00 mm diameter drill with three flutes designed for aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. Its 5X length provides extended reach for deeper hole drilling in a single pass. The tool is supplied new and carries the manufacturer part number 22962990.
Suited for aluminium and non-ferrous work
This drill suits machinists and fabricators producing deep holes in aluminium alloys, copper or brass where chip evacuation matters. The three-flute geometry balances material removal and finish quality. It is not intended for hardened steels, stainless steels or abrasive composites that would wear the cutting edges quickly.
Check spindle capacity and coolant supply
Before ordering, verify that your machine spindle accepts a 16.00 mm shank and can deliver the thrust required for a 5X length tool. Confirm that your coolant system can reach the cutting zone to manage heat and chip flow. Ensure the workpiece clamping is rigid enough to resist the forces generated at this diameter and length.
