Drill for aluminium
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill is engineered for drilling aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. Its three-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces the tendency for the workpiece to grab. The 4.40 mm diameter suits precise holemaking in fabrication and maintenance tasks. This tool is not intended for hardened steels or abrasive composites.
Standard shank fit
The drill uses a common straight shank that fits most drill chucks and collet systems without adapters. Users should verify that the chuck capacity covers the 4.40 mm shank diameter before starting. Insufficient clamping force or worn jaws can cause slippage and poor hole quality. Proper lubrication further reduces the risk of built-up edge on aluminium.
Material-specific limits
The specialised geometry is optimised for softer alloys and will dull quickly in ferrous metals or high-silicon aluminium. Feed rates and spindle speeds must match aluminium machining parameters to avoid excessive heat. The tool does not incorporate through-coolant channels, so external flood or mist cooling is required for deeper holes. Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
