Precision Drill No 45
The M.A. Ford Twister Al 5X 3 Flute Drill No 45 is a cutting tool designed for aluminium machining. It targets metalworkers and maintenance teams who need accurate holes in non-ferrous materials. The three-flute geometry supports stable chip evacuation during high-speed operations. This item arrives new and ready for immediate workshop use.
Replaces Worn Standard Bits
This drill upgrades from conventional two-flute or general-purpose bits that struggle with aluminium chip welding. The jump is worth it when production volume increases or when hole finish quality becomes critical. The specialised 5X design reduces built-up edge formation common with softer alloys. It addresses the need for longer tool life in repetitive drilling tasks.
Fits Standard Chuck Systems
The tool fits directly into standard drill chucks and CNC tool holders without adapters. Its shank dimensions align with common industry interfaces for quick changeover. The flute length clears chips efficiently, freeing the operator from frequent pecking cycles. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemical content.
