M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X Solid Carbide Drill 4.90 mm
A 4.90 mm solid-carbide Twister Xd drill with 3× diameter drilling depth
- Solid carbide construction resists wear and heat
- 3X diameter flute length enables deeper holes
- 90 mm diameter suits precise drilling tasks
- Twister Xd geometry improves chip evacuation
- M.A. Ford manufacturing delivers professional-grade reliability
Application & User
This solid carbide drill is designed for precision drilling in demanding materials. Professional machinists and maintenance technicians use it where standard high-speed steel bits wear too quickly. It is not suited for hand-held drilling or for users who need a wider range of diameters in a single purchase.
Diameter & Depth Capacity
The 4.90 mm cutting diameter handles close-tolerance holes in hardened steels and exotic alloys. Its 3X length ratio provides moderate reach for through-holes and blind holes up to that depth. The tool runs out of effective stiffness beyond its flute length, so deeper holes require a different length series.
Carbide Tooling Constraints
Solid carbide construction delivers hardness and heat resistance but remains brittle under shock or misalignment. Rigid machine spindles and accurate workholding are essential to prevent chipping. The Prop 65 notice indicates the presence of listed substances, so appropriate dust control and personal protection are required during use.

Questions about this item
Will the 4.90 mm Twister Xd 3X carbide drill run reliably in an older drill press with a standard chuck?
Yes, the 4.90 mm shank fits any standard chuck that accepts that diameter, so it works with older drill presses without modification.
How can I confirm the Twister Xd 3X drill is cutting correctly after installing it?
Check for consistent chip formation, steady feed pressure, and a clean 4.90 mm hole diameter without excessive heat or vibration during the first test holes.
What comes in the package with the 2XDSS1929A Twister Xd 3X drill and what must I supply?
The box contains the single 4.90 mm solid carbide drill; you must provide the drill press or hand drill, cutting fluid, and work-holding fixtures.
