M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill No 20
This M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill No 20 is a new cutting tool designed for drilling aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. It suits professional machinists and maintenance engineers who require a dedicated high-performance drill for these specific alloys. The three-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in softer metals.
Three-flute geometry for aluminium
The defining specification is the three-flute design optimised for aluminium, indicated by the Al 5X designation and No 20 size. This geometry prevents clogging and improves hole finish in non-ferrous workpieces. Buyers needing a drill for steel, stainless steel or hardened alloys should select a different tool because this flute configuration is not suited to those materials.
Standard shank fit for common holders
The drill uses a standard shank that fits typical drill chucks and collet systems found in workshop drill presses and milling machines. No special holders or adapters are required for installation. The most common issue is premature wear if the drill is run at incorrect speeds or without adequate lubrication for aluminium, so verify cutting parameters before use.

Questions about this item
How deep can the Twister Al 5X No 20 drill in a single pass?
The 5X designation means the flute length allows drilling up to five times the nominal diameter, so depth depends on the No 20 size you are running.
What shank style does the 22916100 use for tool-holder compatibility?
The drill is built with a straight cylindrical shank sized to match the No 20 body, letting it clamp in standard collets and three-jaw chucks without an adapter.
What clearance should I allow for the three-flute body when fixturing the workpiece?
The three-flute Twister Al profile needs enough radial space for chip evacuation, so keep at least one flute width clear of clamps or vice jaws around the hole centre.
