8.20 mm Coolant-Fed Drill
This 8.20 mm Twister Xd drill from M.A. Ford delivers coolant through the tool for controlled chip evacuation. It suits production shops drilling deep holes in steel and cast iron where external flood coolant cannot reach the cutting zone. The 3X diameter flute length supports deeper passes in a single operation.
Upgrade from Standard Twist Drills
Conventional drills rely on external coolant that often misses the tip in deep holes, causing heat buildup and premature wear. The internal coolant channels in this tool maintain temperature at the cutting edges, making the jump worthwhile when hole depth exceeds three times diameter or when cycle time must drop. Shops staying at shallow depths or using intermittent peck cycles will not see the same return.
Straight Shank Mounting
The drill fits standard collets and hydraulic holders with no adapter required. Coolant must be supplied through the machine spindle at sufficient pressure to overcome the internal restriction; low-pressure systems will starve the cutting zone. Verify holder runout before use, as excess runout concentrates load on one lip and accelerates corner breakdown.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the 8.20 mm Twister Xd drill need to fit in the holder?
The drill has an 8.20 mm diameter shank, so it requires a holder or collet that accepts exactly 8.20 mm.
How do you engage the coolant-fed feature when installing the drill in a CNC spindle?
Align the internal coolant channel with the spindle’s through-coolant port, then secure the drill; the step often missed is verifying coolant flow before starting the cycle.
When should the 8.20 mm Twister Xd drill be replaced based on wear?
Replace the drill when the cutting edges show visible rounding, chipping, or when hole diameter exceeds tolerance, as the solid-carbide tip cannot be economically resharpened.
