3.60 mm Solid Carbide Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill bit with a 3.60 mm cutting diameter. It is designed for high-performance drilling in tough materials such as stainless steel and hardened alloys. Machinists and metalworkers use it for precision holemaking where standard high-speed steel bits wear too quickly. The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and heat resistance for consistent results.
Installation and common issues
Secure the drill in a collet or chuck rated for the shank diameter and ensure the holder runs true. Use peck drilling cycles and appropriate coolant to manage chip evacuation and heat in deep holes. Running at excessive speed or with insufficient feed causes premature wear or chipping of the carbide cutting edges. Poor workpiece clamping leads to vibration that can fracture the brittle carbide body.
Pre-order checks
Verify that your machine spindle accepts the shank size of this specific tool. Confirm the workpiece material matches the drill’s intended application range for carbide tooling. Check that your coolant system can deliver adequate flow to the cutting zone. Ensure the required hole depth does not exceed the flute length available on this 3X diameter tool.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the Twister Xd 3X Solid Carbide Drill is cutting correctly after installation?
The 3.60 mm drill should produce consistent chip formation and a clean hole diameter when run at recommended speeds for the workpiece material.
What comes in the package with the 2XDSS1417A drill and what must I supply separately?
The box contains the solid carbide drill only; a compatible tool holder, coolant supply and workpiece clamping are required separately.
Which version of the Twister Xd 3X drill should I choose for a 3.60 mm hole?
Select the 2XDSS1417A model, which is manufactured specifically for a 3.60 mm cutting diameter.
