- Solid carbide construction resists wear in tough materials
- M.A. Ford manufacturing ensures professional-grade reliability
- California Proposition 65 compliance discloses chemical safety information
Drill size 23/64 inch
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill designed for precision hole-making in demanding materials. It targets machinists and maintenance technicians who need consistent performance in production or repair environments. The tool suits applications where rigidity and wear resistance are critical.
Replaces general-purpose HSS drills
This carbide drill upgrades from standard high-speed steel bits when tool life and hole accuracy must improve. The jump is worth it for repeated drilling in hardened steels, high-temperature alloys or abrasive composites where HSS wears quickly. It is not for buyers who only drill soft materials occasionally.
Shank fits standard holders
The straight shank mounts directly into common drill chucks and collets without adapters. Solid carbide construction makes the tool brittle; misalignment or excessive run-out causes chipping or breakage. Coolant supply and rigid workholding are essential to avoid premature failure.

Questions about this item
What size drill chuck is needed for the 23/64 inch shank?
The 23/64 inch diameter shank requires a chuck that opens to at least that size, such as a standard 1/2 inch or 3/8 inch capacity drill chuck.
How do I correctly install this solid carbide drill in a handheld drill motor?
Secure the drill fully in the chuck jaws, use cutting fluid, apply steady pressure, and avoid side loads that can snap the brittle carbide body.
When should I replace the Twister Xd drill due to wear?
Replace it when the cutting lips show rounding, chipping, or when hole diameter and finish degrade beyond tolerance.
