M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a 9.50 mm three-flute drill built for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. It suits machine shops and fabricators who need accurate holes in soft metals without the clogging common on standard twist drills.
Replaces general-purpose drills in aluminium
General-purpose drills tend to load up and wander when run at higher speeds in aluminium. The 5X geometry and polished flutes on this tool clear chips faster, so the step up is justified when cycle time and hole finish matter more than the lower cost of a conventional bit.
Limited to non-ferrous materials and rigid setups
The specialised point and flute design is optimised for aluminium and will dull quickly in steel, stainless or titanium. It also needs a rigid machine and secure workholding; hand-held drilling or flexible fixtures can chip the cutting edges and ruin the tool.

Questions about this item
What chuck capacity do I need for the 9.50 mm shank on the M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 22937400?
The shank diameter is 9.50 mm, so a chuck that opens to at least 9.5 mm is required.
How do I install the Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 22937400 without snapping the 9.50 mm shank?
Tighten the chuck jaws evenly on the 9.50 mm shank; the common mistake is leaving one jaw loose, which lets the bit walk and shear.
When should I replace the 9.50 mm Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill 22937400 instead of re-sharpening it?
Replace it when the three flute cutting edges show chipping or the 9.50 mm shank develops run-out that re-grinding cannot correct.
