Solid Carbide Drill 12.90 mm
The Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill built for demanding metalworking tasks. Machinists and fabricators use it to produce accurate holes in tough alloys. Its rigid construction resists deflection during deep cuts. The tool suits CNC and manual drilling operations alike.
California Proposition 65 warnings
The product carries two California Proposition 65 notices covering cancer and reproductive harm risks. These labels inform users about chemical exposure during handling or machining. They do not alter the drill’s cutting geometry or carbide grade. Compliance documentation travels with the shipment from the manufacturer.
Installation and common issues
The 12.90 mm shank fits standard drill holders and collets without adapters. Secure clamping prevents runout that would dull the cutting edges prematurely. Incorrect feed rates or insufficient coolant often cause chipping or premature wear. Always verify workpiece rigidity before starting the cycle.

Questions about this item
When will the 12.90 mm solid carbide drill need resharpening or replacement?
Resharpen or replace the drill when cutting edges show visible wear, chipping, or when hole quality and feed rates noticeably decline during use.
What limit appears first during continuous drilling with the Twister Xd 3X?
The cutting edges reach their wear limit first, shown by increased thrust force, reduced chip evacuation, and deteriorating hole finish under sustained load.
How much heat and noise does the 12.90 mm carbide drill generate in all-day operation?
Expect significant heat at the drill point and workpiece interface plus high-frequency cutting noise; use coolant and hearing protection for extended runs.
