M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a 3-flute drill sized at 9/32 inch for precision boring in aluminium and similar alloys. It is manufactured by M.A. Ford and supplied new under part number 22928120. The tool targets machinists and fabricators who need accurate holes in non-ferrous materials.
Suited for aluminium work not hardened steel
This drill suits workshops focused on aluminium, brass or plastic components where a 3-flute geometry improves chip evacuation and hole finish. It is not intended for hardened steels, stainless alloys or high-temperature superalloys that demand specialised carbide grades or coatings. Buyers needing larger diameters or different flute counts should look elsewhere.
Standard shank fits common holders
The drill uses a standard shank that fits conventional drill chucks and tool holders without adapters. No special fixtures or coolant-through spindles are required for typical aluminium drilling. The main installation issue arises if the workpiece is not rigidly clamped, which can cause chatter or oversize holes. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
