17.00 mm solid carbide drill for metalwork
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a 17.00 mm diameter drill made from solid carbide for high-precision metal drilling. It is built for professional workshops and production environments that demand consistent hole quality and long tool life. The 3X geometry supports stable cutting across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
Suited for CNC and rigid machine setups only
This drill performs best in CNC machines or rigid pillar drills where run-out is tightly controlled. Hand-held or low-rigidity setups will not provide the stability solid carbide requires and can lead to premature breakage. Buyers needing a drill for portable drilling or less rigid fixtures should consider tougher-substrate alternatives.
17.00 mm cutting diameter
The 17.00 mm diameter is the critical dimension that determines whether this tool matches the hole size specified in your drawing or process plan. Verify the required hole tolerance and machine capability before ordering, as solid carbide drills are not resharpenable on standard equipment.

Questions about this item
What does the 17.00 mm diameter mean for hole-making in my machine?
The 17.00 mm cutting diameter produces a hole of that exact size when the drill is run at the correct speed and feed for the workpiece material.
What shank standard does the 2XDSS6693A use and what does it limit?
The drill has a straight cylindrical shank that fits standard drill chucks and collets, limiting use to holders that accept that shank diameter.
What physical clearance does the 3X length require in my setup?
The 3X flute length needs enough spindle travel and workpiece clearance to accommodate the full drilling depth without bottoming out.
