Micro Drill for Precision Holes
The M.A. Ford Twister Micro-Tuff Drill .0160 is a cutting tool built for very small diameter work. It suits machinists and technicians who need accurate holes in metal or composite materials. The design targets applications where standard drills are too large or lack rigidity at this scale. Buyers who want more storage or larger hole capacity should choose a different tool.
Limits of Micro Diameter Tooling
At a .0160 inch diameter the flute length and overall reach are short by necessity. Chip evacuation becomes the main constraint because the narrow flutes clog quickly in deep cuts. Coolant flow or peck cycles are essential to prevent breakage. The tool cannot handle heavy feed rates or high torque loads that larger drills accept.
Solid Carbide Construction and Shank Fit
The solid carbide body gives the hardness and wear resistance needed for abrasive alloys and hardened steels. A precision ground shank ensures concentric rotation in collets or micro chucks. The coating reduces friction and extends life in repetitive operations. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the product.

Questions about this item
Is the .0160 diameter the right choice for the fine-detail work I need?
The .0160 diameter is the smallest size in this Twister Micro-Tuff range, intended for precision drilling in tight spaces.
What does the .0160 figure tell me about the hole size I will get in the workpiece?
It indicates a nominal drill diameter of .0160 inches, so the hole produced will be very close to that size in most materials.
Does the 30501600 part number confirm a specific shank type for my drill chuck?
The 30501600 code identifies this exact .0160 inch Micro-Tuff drill; the shank matches the standard for this micro-drill series.
