M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X is a three-flute drill bit manufactured by M.A. Ford for machining aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. Its 9.70mm cutting diameter targets workshops and fabricators producing accurate holes in softer alloys.
Three-flute geometry for aluminium
The three-flute design improves chip evacuation and reduces clogging when drilling aluminium, delivering smoother hole walls and longer tool life compared with standard two-flute bits. This geometry also helps maintain centre accuracy during high-speed passes.
9.70mm cutting diameter
The 9.70mm diameter is the critical specification; it determines whether the drill matches the required hole size for fasteners, dowels or reaming operations. Verify this exact dimension against your drawing before purchase.

Questions about this item
How often will the 9.70 mm Twister Al 5X drill need resharpening in aluminium?
Resharpen when the three-flute cutting edges show wear; the 5×D length keeps chip evacuation efficient, extending intervals between regrinds.
What limits continuous drilling depth with this 5×D tool?
The 5× diameter flute length sets the maximum hole depth in a single pass; deeper holes require peck cycles to clear chips.
Does the 9.70 mm drill generate excessive heat during all-day production runs?
Three-flute geometry and polished flutes reduce friction in aluminium, keeping temperatures manageable during sustained operation.
