Product identity
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill in 17/32 size is a new cutting tool built for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated drill for these alloys.
Application limits
The three-flute geometry and 5X designation indicate a design optimised for efficient chip evacuation in softer metals, not for hardened steels or abrasive composites. Users should match the tool to the workpiece material to avoid premature wear.
Setup checks
Verify that your machine spindle and holder accommodate the 17/32 shank and that the available thrust and speed range suit aluminium drilling. Confirm compliance with California Proposition 65 warnings for workplace safety.
