Drill for aluminium 5.60 mm
The Twister Al 5X is a 5.60 mm three-flute drill built for aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. Its geometry reduces chip welding and improves evacuation in soft materials. The tool suits CNC and manual operations where clean holes in aluminium are required.
Three-flute chip control
Three flutes create more cutting edges than a standard two-flute design, increasing feed capability and balancing cutting forces. This lowers vibration and produces straighter holes in gummy alloys. The flute shape moves chips away from the cut zone without clogging.
Diameter defines capacity
At 5.60 mm the drill handles close-tolerance holes in thin-wall extrusions and plate up to typical job-shop thicknesses. It is not intended for deep-hole drilling beyond five diameters or for hardened steels. Users needing larger diameters or coolant-through supply must select a different tool.

Questions about this item
How often will the 5.60 mm three-flute cutting edges need re-sharpening when drilling aluminium?
Re-sharpening interval depends on feed rate, coolant use and aluminium grade; the three-flute geometry distributes wear evenly, so the drill typically lasts through many holes before the 5.60 mm edges require service.
What stops the 22922050 drill from going deeper in a single pass?
The 5X diameter flute length sets the maximum hole depth; once chips fill the flutes past that point, evacuation stalls and the tool must be withdrawn.
How much heat builds up in the 5.60 mm shank during continuous CNC cycles?
The polished three-flute design ejects chips efficiently, keeping shank temperature moderate during all-day aluminium drilling when proper coolant flow is maintained.
