Application focus
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X drill targets aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys. Its three-flute geometry and 5× diameter flute length suit production drilling where chip evacuation and hole straightness matter.
Practical limits
The 7.40 mm cutting diameter fixes the hole size; the tool cannot be used for larger or smaller bores. Flute length is five times that diameter, so deeper holes need peck cycles or a longer series. The California Proposition 65 notice flags chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.
Compatibility checks
Verify that your machine spindle accepts the shank style and that coolant or mist delivery can reach the flute depth. Confirm the workpiece clamping is rigid enough for the 5× length-to-diameter ratio. Ensure your safety plan addresses the listed Proposition 65 substances.

Questions about this item
How do I decide between the Twister Al 5X and other M.A. Ford drill sizes?
The 7.40 mm diameter and 5× diameter flute length suit aluminium holes up to five times the diameter deep; choose this size when your hole matches 7.40 mm.
What does the 5X designation mean once the bit is in the machine?
5X indicates a flute length five times the 7.40 mm diameter, so the bit can drill deeper in a single pass without pecking.
What shank standard does the 22929130 use and what does it limit?
It uses a standard round shank that fits common drill chucks; the 7.40 mm cutting diameter sets the maximum hole size.
