Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill
This M.A. Ford drill bit is designed for precision drilling in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. The three-flute geometry reduces chatter while the 5X designation indicates a longer reach for deeper holes. It suits machinists and fabricators who need accurate sizing in soft metals.
Installation and common issues
The bit fits standard drill chucks and collets that accept the 35/64 inch shank diameter. Ensure the workpiece is clamped securely to prevent the long flute from wandering. Insufficient coolant or excessive feed rates often cause built-up edge on the flutes.
Diameter 35/64 inch
The cutting diameter of 35/64 inch is the critical specification for hole-size requirements. Verify this exact fractional size against your drawing or tap chart before ordering. A different diameter will not produce the correct fit for downstream operations.
