Drill for precision holes
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill sized at 6.30 mm. It is built for machine shops and maintenance teams that need accurate holes in tough materials. The 3X geometry supports stable cutting and consistent chip evacuation. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
Suited for short-run rigidity
This drill suits operators who prioritise rigidity in shallow-depth drilling. It is not intended for deep-hole applications where a longer flute length would be required. Buyers who need extended reach or coolant-through capability should look at alternative tooling. The solid carbide construction resists wear in abrasive alloys.
6.30 mm diameter capacity
The 6.30 mm cutting diameter handles its nominal size with minimal deflection in steel and cast iron. Headroom is limited to the 3X length ratio, so deeper holes will need peck cycles or a different tool. The 2480 series designation identifies this specific geometry within the range. California Proposition 65 compliance is noted for regulated environments.

Questions about this item
Does my drill chuck need to accept a 6.30 mm shank for this Twister Xd bit?
Yes, the solid carbide drill has a 6.30 mm diameter, so your chuck must grip that size securely.
Will the 6.30 mm diameter work in the same collets I use for older high-speed steel bits?
If those collets are sized for 6.30 mm they will hold this carbide drill; larger or smaller collets will not.
How can I confirm the 2XDSS2480A drill is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for a clean, round hole at the expected 6.30 mm diameter with minimal burr and no chatter marks.
