M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a 3-flute drill designed for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. It carries the manufacturer part number 22916540 and is supplied new. The cutting diameter is 4.20 mm.
Who this suits
Machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated aluminium drill with a 3-flute geometry will find this tool appropriate. It is not for buyers who require a drill for hardened steel, stainless steel or other ferrous alloys. It is also not for users who need a different diameter or flute count.
Deciding specification
The 4.20 mm cutting diameter is the single specification that determines whether this drill matches the hole size required for the job. Verify the required diameter before ordering.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 4.20 mm Twister Al 5X drill in my chuck without damaging the three flutes?
Insert the 4.20 mm shank fully into a clean, matched chuck and tighten evenly so all three flutes clear the jaws; the step most people miss is checking run-out before applying load.
What maintenance will the 22916540 drill need after repeated aluminium cuts?
Inspect the three flutes for built-up edge after each session, wipe chips away with a brass brush, and resharpen the cutting lips when hole quality drops; no lubrication system is required.
What limit appears first when drilling deep holes in aluminium with this 5X drill?
Chip evacuation through the three flutes becomes the limiting factor once hole depth approaches five times the 4.20 mm diameter, so use peck cycles to clear swarf.
