Precision drill for aluminium
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a three-flute drill engineered for aluminium and similar non-ferrous alloys. Its 9.00 mm cutting diameter suits CNC and manual operations that demand clean hole quality. Machinists and fabricators working with soft metals will find the geometry reduces built-up edge.
Three-flute design aids chip flow
The 3-flute configuration evacuates swarf efficiently, lowering heat and preventing clogging in sticky materials. A cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill chucks without special holders. The solid carbide construction resists wear during repetitive production runs.
Replaces general-purpose drills in soft metals
Standard two-flute bits tend to grab and wander in aluminium; this tool’s dedicated geometry eliminates that behaviour. The upgrade is justified when hole finish and tool life outweigh the cost of a specialised cutter. Not suited for hardened steels or high-temp alloys.

Questions about this item
Does the Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 9.00 mm use a standard round shank that fits a 9.00 mm drill chuck?
The 9.00 mm diameter matches the cutting end; the shank is typically the same size so it fits a 9.00 mm or larger three-jaw chuck.
What physical clearance does the 22935430 need to mount in a drill press or handheld drill?
It requires a chuck capacity of at least 9.00 mm and enough spindle travel for the 5X diameter flute length.
How is the 22935430 installed, and what step do users often miss?
Open the chuck, insert the shank fully, tighten securely, then verify the bit runs true before drilling.
