Micro Drill for Fine Holes
The M.A. Ford Twister Micro-Tuff Drill creates precise 0.49 mm holes in metal and composite materials. Its micro-scale geometry suits electronics repair, jewellery work and prototype machining where standard bits are too large. The solid carbide construction resists deflection during light feed rates. Buyers who need larger diameters or high-volume production runs should choose a different tool.
Prop 65 Chemical Notice
California Proposition 65 warnings identify substances linked to cancer and reproductive harm in this product. The regulation applies to any item sold into California containing listed chemicals above safe-harbour levels. Users should wear gloves, avoid inhaling dust and wash hands after handling. Workshops operating outside California may face different disclosure rules.
Single-Size Specialist Tool
This drill is manufactured only in the 0.49 mm size, so each job requires an exact match to the pilot-hole specification. The 305 series designation confirms the Micro-Tuff flute design optimised for chip evacuation in deep micro holes. Shops needing a range of diameters must purchase multiple individual bits. Orders of $75 or more qualify for free manufacturer-direct shipping.

Questions about this item
Which size of the Twister Micro-Tuff Drill should I select for a 0.49 mm hole?
The 305M0049 model is manufactured at 0.49 mm diameter, so it matches that exact hole size.
How does the 0.49 mm diameter perform when drilling into hardened steel on a CNC machine?
The Micro-Tuff geometry is designed for micro-drilling in tough alloys, giving clean entry and consistent chip evacuation at 0.49 mm.
What shank standard does the 305M0049 use and what collet size does it require?
It uses a common cylindrical shank that fits standard 0.49 mm collets or adjustable pin chucks for precise concentricity.
