Application
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill bit sized at 7.50 mm. It serves machinists and maintenance teams who need a rigid tool for producing accurate holes in steel, cast iron and similar alloys. The 3X geometry supports deeper drilling without frequent pecking. Buyers who require a larger diameter or a coolant-fed shank will need a different tool.
Tool life
Solid carbide construction resists wear and heat better than high-speed steel, so the cutting edges stay sharp longer during repeated cycles. The 3X flute design helps evacuate chips efficiently, reducing friction and the risk of work hardening. No coolant-through passages are present, so external flood or mist cooling must be supplied for demanding cuts.
Diameter
The drill diameter is 7.50 mm, which fixes the hole size this bit can produce. Verify that your machine spindle and holder accept this shank before ordering. The manufacturer part reference 2XDSS2953A identifies this exact specification.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 7.50 mm Twister Xd drill bit in my drill press and what step is often missed?
Secure the 7.50 mm shank fully in the chuck jaws, tightening each jaw evenly; the step most often missed is verifying zero run-out with a dial indicator before cutting.
What maintenance or replacement will the solid carbide 2XDSS2953A drill need over time?
The solid carbide body cannot be resharpened conventionally; once the cutting edges dull, the entire 7.50 mm drill must be replaced.
What limit appears first when the Twister Xd 3X drill runs continuously in steel?
Heat buildup at the 7.50 mm cutting edges is the first limiting factor; without adequate coolant the carbide will overheat and lose hardness rapidly.
