M.A. Ford Twister Gp 5X Drill No 13
The M.A. Ford Twister Gp 5X Drill is a straight-shank cutting tool identified as No 13. It is manufactured for precision drilling tasks in professional workshops. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.
Straight-shank fit for standard holders
The straight shank allows direct mounting in common drill chucks and collets without adapters. This compatibility simplifies tool changes and keeps the spindle interface rigid. Buyers needing a tapered or reduced shank for specialised holders cannot use this configuration.
Designed for five-times-diameter depth
The 5X designation indicates the drill is engineered for hole depths up to five times its diameter. It delivers consistent chip evacuation within that range. Applications requiring deeper holes or larger diameters will exceed the intended capacity of this No 13 tool.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum drilling depth before chip evacuation becomes the limiting factor?
The 5X diameter design allows drilling up to five times the nominal diameter before chip removal limits further progress.
How much heat builds up in the shank during continuous high-speed drilling?
The straight shank conducts heat directly into the tool holder, so extended runs will warm the holder noticeably without external cooling.
Which tool holder or chuck size is required to grip the straight shank securely?
A chuck or collet that accepts the drill's shank diameter is needed; the product is sold as the drill bit only.
