Micro-Tuff Drill 2.80 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Micro-Tuff Drill is a 2.80 mm cutting tool built for precision drilling in small-diameter applications. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need consistent hole quality in metals and composites.
Upgrade from standard twist drills
This drill replaces general-purpose bits when tighter tolerance and longer tool life are required in micro-hole work. The step up is worth it when repeatability and reduced breakage outweigh the higher unit cost.
Straightforward collet mounting
The shank fits standard ER collets or drill chucks sized for 2.80 mm, so no special holders are needed. Common issues arise if runout exceeds holder limits or if coolant pressure is insufficient for chip evacuation in deep holes.

Questions about this item
What shank size does the 2.80 mm Twister Micro-Tuff Drill need to fit my drill chuck?
The 2.80 mm drill bit has a matching 2.80 mm shank, so it fits any standard three-jaw chuck that accepts 2.80 mm or larger round shanks.
How do I install the 305M0280AM bit without it slipping or walking on the workpiece?
Clamp the workpiece firmly, centre-punch the hole location, then insert the bit fully into the chuck and tighten all three jaws evenly — the step most people skip is verifying the bit runs true before applying feed pressure.
When should I replace the 2.80 mm Twister Micro-Tuff Drill instead of resharpening it?
Replace the bit once the cutting lips are chipped, the margin width is worn below half its original thickness, or the flute length has shortened enough that chips no longer clear cleanly.
