13.50 mm Twister Xd 3X drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill with a 13.50 mm cutting diameter. It is engineered for production drilling in steel, stainless steel and cast iron. The tool suits machine shops and maintenance teams that need consistent hole quality in tough alloys.
Upgrade from standard HSS or cobalt drills
This carbide drill replaces high-speed steel or cobalt bits when tool life and cutting speed become the limiting factors. The jump is worth it when cycle time must drop and regrind intervals must stretch across thousands of holes in abrasive materials.
Straight-shank fit for standard holders
The drill uses a common straight shank that seats in hydraulic, collet or side-lock holders without adapters. Runout at the holder interface is the usual source of chatter and premature corner wear, so verify concentricity before cutting.

Questions about this item
What size chuck is needed for the 13.50 mm shank on this Twister Xd drill?
The 13.50 mm shank requires a chuck capacity of at least 13.5 mm; a standard 13 mm chuck will not grip it securely.
How should the 2XDSS5315A drill be installed to avoid run-out?
Seat the shank fully in a clean, collet-type holder and tighten evenly; the step most often missed is skipping the final torque check after the first few holes.
When should the solid-carbide Twister Xd 3X drill be replaced?
Replace it when flank wear reaches the maker's limit, when chipping appears on the cutting edges, or once the 3X hole-depth capability can no longer be held to tolerance.
