Drill bit for aluminium workpieces
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X drill bit is a three-flute cutting tool sized at 23/64 inch. It is manufactured for machining aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials where high material removal rates are required.
Three-flute geometry improves chip flow
The three-flute design evacuates chips more efficiently than two-flute alternatives, reducing the chance of clogging in deep holes. This geometry also helps maintain hole straightness and surface finish during extended production runs.
Check spindle capacity and coolant setup
Verify that your machine spindle accepts a 23/64 inch shank and delivers sufficient speed for aluminium cutting parameters. Ensure your coolant or lubrication system is compatible with the chemical warnings noted for this product.

Questions about this item
When will the 23/64 inch drill bit need replacing?
Replace the bit when the three cutting edges show visible wear or when hole quality drops below the tolerance required for the job.
What limits continuous drilling with this 5X length tool?
The extended 5X flute length makes chip evacuation the first constraint; deep holes need frequent peck cycles to clear aluminium swarf.
How much heat builds up during all-day use of the 22935940?
Heat stays manageable if cutting speed and feed match aluminium guidelines and coolant is applied; the uncoated carbide body conducts heat away from the cutting zone.
