M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill is a cutting tool built for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. It suits machinists and fabricators who need consistent chip evacuation in high-speed operations. The three-flute geometry supports stable drilling without the clogging common in softer alloys. This item is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Three-flute design for aluminium workflows
The drill fits standard tool holders used in CNC and manual milling setups, so no proprietary collets or adapters are required. Its flute profile clears chips efficiently, which reduces the need for frequent peck cycles and frees up spindle time. The geometry also minimises built-up edge, helping maintain hole quality across repeated passes. Operators can run established feeds and speeds for aluminium without re-qualifying the tool.
5X diameter reach with limits in deeper holes
The 5X length-to-diameter ratio provides extended reach for through-holes and deep pockets in aluminium plate and extrusion. It handles standard production volumes where hole depth stays within that envelope. Beyond the 5X range, chip packing and deflection increase, so the drill is not suited for ultra-deep drilling or high-hardness materials. The Prop 65 notice indicates the presence of listed chemicals, a factor for shops with strict substance policies.

Questions about this item
What material limit appears first when drilling aluminium at 5× diameter with the Twister Al 22933200?
Chip evacuation becomes the limiting factor in deep aluminium holes because the three-flute geometry must clear long stringy swarf before it packs the flutes.
How much heat and noise does the 22933200 generate during continuous CNC cycles?
The uncoated carbide body runs warm but stays within normal HSS limits; expect a steady high-pitched whistle from the three flutes rather than vibration chatter.
Which tool holder and coolant setup are required to run the 22933200?
A precision ER collet or hydraulic chuck with through-spindle coolant is needed to maintain run-out and flush chips from the 5× depth.
