Twister XD 3X Coolant Fed Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X is a coolant-fed drill designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. It targets machinists and maintenance teams who need reliable deep-hole performance without external coolant supply limitations. The 13.70 mm diameter suits specific production requirements where standard lengths fall short.
Upgrading from standard twist drills
This drill replaces conventional twist drills that rely on flood coolant or manual application. The internal coolant channels deliver lubricant directly to the cutting zone, improving chip evacuation and tool life in deeper holes. The jump is worth it when hole depth exceeds three times diameter and heat buildup causes premature wear or poor finish on standard tooling.
Build integration and clearance
The shank fits standard tool holders compatible with through-coolant spindles or adapters. No proprietary interface is required beyond a machine capable of supplying coolant through the spindle. The design frees up external coolant lines and reduces setup time for deep-hole operations, though the machine must support through-spindle coolant delivery to utilise the feature.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the 13.70 mm Twister XD drill need to fit my holder?
The drill has a 13.70 mm cutting diameter; the shank matches that size for a standard 13.70 mm collet or chuck.
How do I connect coolant to the 2XDCS5394A drill and what step is often missed?
Feed coolant through the machine spindle into the drill’s internal channels; the step often missed is verifying the coolant port seal before starting.
When should I replace the Twister XD 3X coolant-fed drill?
Replace it when the 13.70 mm cutting edges show visible wear, chipping, or when hole tolerance drifts beyond spec.
