M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X 10.40mm Drill
This M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X drill is a solid carbide cutting tool with a 10.40mm diameter. It is designed for precision hole-making in demanding materials. The tool suits professional machinists and maintenance teams requiring high-performance drilling accessories. Its solid carbide construction supports extended tool life in production environments.
Build fit: solid carbide drill for CNC
The drill fits directly into compatible tool holders or drill chucks accepting a 10.40mm shank. It requires a rigid machine spindle and appropriate coolant delivery to achieve optimal results. The solid carbide body eliminates the need for separate insert changes, reducing setup time. Proper workholding and machine stability are essential for this diameter.
For high-precision metal drilling.
This drill suits users producing accurate 10.40mm holes in steel, cast iron, or high-temperature alloys. It is not for operators needing larger hole diameters or indexable insert tooling for cost-sensitive roughing. Buyers requiring coated variants or different length series must select alternative specifications. The Prop 65 notice applies to the product materials.

Questions about this item
How deep can the 10.40 mm Twister Xd 3X drill go before chip evacuation becomes the limiting factor?
The 3X length-to-diameter design supports drilling up to three diameters deep, so the practical limit is set by the flute length rather than a fixed millimetre value.
What heat and noise levels should I expect when running this solid carbide drill continuously in a CNC machine?
Solid carbide runs hotter than HSS, so flood coolant or high-pressure through-spindle coolant is essential to control temperature; noise is typical for carbide drilling at recommended speeds and feeds.
Which tool holder or collet do I need to clamp the 10.40 mm shank securely?
A 10.40 mm hydraulic chuck, shrink-fit holder or precision ER collet matched to the shank diameter will provide the required grip and run-out accuracy.
