Twister Brad and Spur Drill 4.30 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Brad and Spur Drill 4.30 mm is a precision drill bit designed for clean entry holes in wood and composite materials. It suits cabinetmakers and joiners who require accurate dowel or hinge boring without tear-out. The brad point centres the cut while the spurs shear fibres for a smooth bore. This accessory fits standard drill chucks.
Installation and common issues
The bit installs directly into any compatible drill chuck by tightening the jaws on the shank. No special adapters or tools are required for setup. The main difficulty arises if the chuck is not fully secured, which allows the bit to wander or slip during the cut. Dull spurs will also cause burning rather than clean shearing of the material fibres.
Capacity and headroom
The 4.30 mm diameter determines the exact hole size produced, suitable for specific dowel pins or hardware screws. It handles repetitive drilling in softwoods and hardwoods while maintaining diameter accuracy. The bit reaches its limit in abrasive composite boards that accelerate edge wear. It is not designed for metal, masonry or holes larger than its fixed diameter.
