Precision Micro Drill No 42
The M.A. Ford Twister Micro-Tuff Drill No 42 is a high-precision cutting tool designed for detailed drilling operations in small diameters. It suits machinists, toolmakers and maintenance technicians who require accurate hole-making in metals and composites where standard drills are too large or lack rigidity.
Replacing Worn Micro Drills
This drill replaces dull or broken micro drills of the same No 42 size when hole tolerance and surface finish begin to degrade. The upgrade is worth it when the previous tool can no longer hold centre or produces excessive burrs on critical features, restoring process reliability without changing the setup.
Simple Collet Installation
Installation is a direct collet or chuck change; the shank seats securely in standard micro tool holders with no shimming or adapters required. The most common issue is excessive run-out caused by a worn collet or debris in the holder, which can snap the fine web at the drill point during the first plunge.

Questions about this item
What size collet or chuck does the No 42 Twister Micro-Tuff Drill require?
The No 42 drill uses a standard number-size shank that fits a matching collet or drill chuck; verify your tool holder accepts a number 42 drill before use.
How do I install the 30509350AM drill bit without breaking the micro shank?
Insert the bit fully into the collet, tighten evenly, and start the spindle at low RPM; the most common error is applying side load before the bit is seated.
When should I replace the Twister Micro-Tuff drill after drilling hardened steel?
Replace the drill when the cutting lips show rounding, the margin wears unevenly, or hole diameter drifts beyond tolerance; micro drills dull faster than larger sizes.
