Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 4.50 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a 4.50 mm three-flute drill designed for aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. It targets machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated tool for high-speed drilling in softer alloys. The 5X designation marks it as a specialised geometry for this workpiece group.
Sustained-load behaviour
The three-flute design distributes cutting forces across more edges, which helps maintain hole quality when the drill runs continuously in aluminium. Chip evacuation stays consistent because each flute carries a smaller load, reducing the chance of packing during long production runs. Heat builds more evenly along the cutting length.
4.50 mm diameter constraint
The 4.50 mm diameter is the single specification that decides fit; the drill will only produce a hole of that exact size. Buyers who need a different hole diameter must select another tool. No other dimension or tolerance from the data can substitute for this requirement.

Questions about this item
Does the 4.50 mm drill generate noticeable heat or vibration during extended drilling?
The Twister Al 5X 3 flute geometry is designed for efficient chip evacuation in aluminium, which reduces friction and heat build-up during prolonged use.
What tool holder or chuck is required to run the 22917720 bit?
A standard drill chuck or collet that accepts a 4.50 mm shank will hold this bit securely.
Can the 4.50 mm Twister Al bit be used in an older corded drill with lower torque?
Yes, the 3 flute design lowers cutting forces, so it performs well even on lower-torque legacy drills.
