Twister Gp 5X Drill No 17
The M.A. Ford Twister Gp 5X Drill Straight Shank No 17 is a precision cutting tool designed for metalworking professionals who need accurate hole-making in steel and alloy materials. Its straight shank design ensures compatibility with standard drill chucks and collet systems in workshop environments.
Replaces worn or undersized drill bits
This drill replaces dull or damaged bits that no longer hold tolerance or produce clean holes in tough alloys. The upgrade is worth it when existing tooling causes excessive burring, wandering, or premature wear during repetitive drilling operations in production or maintenance settings.
Maintains cutting geometry under sustained use
The Twister Gp 5X construction resists heat buildup and edge degradation during extended drilling cycles, preserving hole quality across multiple workpieces. It does not suit high-volume automated cells requiring coolant-through tooling or carbide-grade wear resistance for abrasive composites.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the No 17 straight-shank drill require from my chuck?
The No 17 drill has a straight shank that fits any chuck accepting that standard diameter; match the chuck capacity to the drill size for a secure grip.
How do I install the 30017300 Twister GP 5X drill without it slipping?
Open the chuck fully, insert the straight shank to the full depth, then tighten each jaw evenly; the step most people skip is re-checking run-out after the first few seconds of drilling.
When should I replace the 30017300 drill bit?
Replace it when the cutting lips show visible wear, the tip chips, or the drill starts walking and generating excess heat — continued use past that point reduces hole accuracy and can damage the workpiece.
