Drill for aluminium machining
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill is built for high-performance drilling in aluminium and non-ferrous materials. Its 7.20mm diameter suits precise hole-making in automotive and general fabrication tasks. The 5X diameter capability allows deeper holes without pecking cycles. This tool targets machinists who need consistent chip evacuation in soft alloys.
Three-flute geometry benefits
The three-flute design balances cutting stability with efficient chip removal in aluminium. It reduces vibration compared to two-flute drills while maintaining room for chip flow. The Al-specific geometry minimises built-up edge on the cutting lips. This translates to longer tool life and better hole finish in gummy materials.
Straightforward toolholder fit
The drill uses a standard shank that fits common collets and hydraulic holders. No special adapters or shrink-fit requirements are needed. Runout should be checked at the holder nose to avoid premature wear. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the tool coating.

Questions about this item
Will the 7.20 mm drill bit need resharpening or replacement after extended use?
The three-flute carbide design resists wear in aluminium, but the cutting edges will dull over time and should be resharpened or replaced when hole quality drops.
What limits continuous drilling with the 22928350 in aluminium?
Chip evacuation in deep 5×D holes becomes the limiting factor; Peck cycles and coolant prevent packing and overheating.
How much heat and noise does the 7.20 mm Twister Al produce during all-day CNC runs?
Carbide runs hotter than HSS, so flood coolant is essential to control heat; noise level matches typical high-speed aluminium drilling.
