M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X Coolant Fed Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X Coolant Fed Drill is a solid-carbide cutting tool built for high-performance holemaking in demanding materials. It serves machinists and manufacturers who need precise, deep holes with effective chip evacuation. The coolant-fed design delivers fluid directly to the cutting zone for thermal control. This drill targets professional metalworking applications requiring reliability.
3X diameter drilling depth constraint
The 3X diameter capability sets the practical limit for hole depth in a single pass without pecking. Coolant pressure and volume must match the tool diameter to clear chips from deep holes effectively. Workpiece rigidity and machine spindle runout become critical factors as depth increases. Exceeding this depth ratio risks tool deflection, chip packing or premature wear.
21/64 inch diameter capacity and headroom
The 21/64 inch diameter suits a specific range of fastener and clearance holes in production runs. It handles moderate-to-high feed rates in steel, cast iron and high-temperature alloys when coolant is applied correctly. The fixed diameter offers no adjustment for reaming or oversize requirements. Tool life drops sharply if run dry or with misaligned spindle conditions.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 21/64 inch size or another diameter?
Select the 21/64 inch drill when the hole specification matches that exact fractional size; other diameters are separate part numbers.
What does the 3X designation mean when the drill is in the machine?
The 3X label indicates a flute length roughly three times the 21/64 inch diameter, giving deeper reach per plunge.
How does the coolant-fed design affect the drilling standard?
Internal coolant channels deliver fluid to the tip, allowing higher feed rates and longer tool life in deep holes.
