Drill Bit Diameter 2.45 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Micro-Tuff Drill is a 2.45 mm diameter cutting tool designed for precision hole-making in demanding materials. It suits machinists and technicians who require accurate small-diameter drilling in tough alloys.
Sustained Cutting Behaviour
The Micro-Tuff geometry and coating are engineered to maintain edge integrity during extended drilling cycles rather than only in short bursts. This design reduces premature wear when the tool operates continuously in abrasive or work-hardening metals.
Installation And Common Issues
The drill installs in any standard collet or chuck that accepts a 2.45 mm shank, requiring no special holders. The main risk is chip packing in deep holes if peck cycles or coolant flow are insufficient for the diameter.

Questions about this item
Does the 2.45 mm Twister Micro-Tuff drill bit generate noticeable heat during extended drilling in steel?
The bit is designed for micro-drilling applications where controlled feed rates keep heat buildup low; using cutting fluid will further reduce temperature during long sessions.
What shank style does the 2.45 mm Twister Micro-Tuff use so I can check my drill chuck?
The 305M0245 model has a straight shank that fits standard three-jaw chucks found on most portable and bench drills.
Will the 2.45 mm Twister Micro-Tuff work in an older drill press with a keyed chuck?
Yes, the straight shank seats securely in a keyed chuck, and the drill’s geometry is compatible with the lower spindle speeds typical of older machines.
