M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a three-flute drill bit sized at 31/64 inch for precision drilling tasks. It suits machinists and fabricators who need accurate hole-making in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. The tool carries manufacturer part number 22948440 for easy identification and reordering. This item is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Three-flute geometry limits
A three-flute design reduces chip load per tooth compared with two-flute alternatives, which can restrict feed rates in deep holes. Chip evacuation relies on the wider flutes, so the drill performs best in through-holes or with frequent peck cycles. The geometry is optimised for aluminium alloys rather than steel or hardened materials. Users must match coolant and speed to the workpiece to avoid built-up edge.
31/64 inch diameter decides fit
The 31/64 inch cutting diameter determines whether this bit matches the required hole size for tapping, reaming or clearance operations. Select this drill only when the drawing or specification calls for this exact fractional size. No other diameter or tolerance is offered for this part number. Verify the call-out before ordering to avoid mismatched holes.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 31/64 size or another diameter for my application?
The 31/64 inch diameter suits holes of that exact size; select a different diameter only if your hole requirement differs.
What does the 5X designation mean when the drill is in the machine?
5X indicates a flute length five times the 31/64 diameter, giving deeper reach per plunge.
What shank interface does the 22948440 use and what does it limit?
The drill uses a standard straight shank that fits common drill chucks, limiting use to chuck-capable machines.
