Drill for aluminium work
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a 7.50 mm three-flute drill built for aluminium and similar non-ferrous metals. It targets machinists and fabricators who need accurate holes in soft alloys without the clogging common with standard twist drills.
Three-flute geometry and coating
The three-flute design improves chip evacuation in sticky materials and helps maintain hole roundness. A specialised coating reduces built-up edge, so the cutter stays sharp longer and produces a cleaner finish on each pass.
Ships direct from manufacturer
The drill arrives in its original factory packaging, ready for immediate use in a tool holder or drill press. California Proposition 65 notices apply because the coating contains a listed chemical, so users should follow standard shop hygiene and ventilation practices.

Questions about this item
What shank standard does the Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 7.50 mm use and what does that limit?
The drill has a straight shank sized to the 7.50 mm diameter, so it fits standard three-jaw chucks and collets that accept that size; it cannot be used in tapered or SDS holders without an adapter.
What physical clearance does the 7.50 mm Twister Al 5X drill require in the workpiece?
The cutting diameter is 7.50 mm; you need at least that much clear space around the hole centre and enough depth capacity for the flute length you intend to drill.
How is the Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill installed in a drill press or hand drill, and what step is often missed?
Open the chuck fully, insert the straight shank until it seats, then tighten all three jaws evenly; the step often missed is re-checking run-out after the first few seconds of rotation.
