Twister Xd 3X Drill 4.80 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill bit with a 4.80 mm cutting diameter. It is engineered for precision holemaking in demanding materials. Professional machinists and maintenance technicians select it for repeatable accuracy and extended tool life in production environments.
Solid carbide construction limits
Solid carbide delivers high hardness and wear resistance but is brittle compared to high-speed steel. The tool requires rigid machine spindles and secure workholding to prevent chipping or fracture. Interrupted cuts, excessive runout or unstable fixtures will reduce performance and can cause catastrophic failure.
Diameter capacity and headroom
The fixed 4.80 mm diameter suits a specific hole size without regrind flexibility. It comfortably handles drilling depths up to three times diameter in steels, stainless steels and high-temperature alloys. The tool runs out when the application demands a different diameter, deeper holes beyond the 3X length or coolant-through capability not present on this model.

Questions about this item
Is the 4.80 mm Twister Xd 3X the right diameter for my job?
The 4.80 mm diameter is fixed on this drill; choose it when the hole must be exactly that size.
What does the 3X designation mean for drilling depth?
The 3X label indicates a drilling depth up to three times the 4.80 mm diameter.
How does the solid carbide construction affect tool life?
Solid carbide resists wear and heat better than cobalt steel, extending life in abrasive materials.
