8.10 mm Twister XD 3X drill
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X is a solid carbide drill with an 8.10 mm cutting diameter. It is designed for machinists and maintenance teams drilling holes up to three times the diameter in steels and other ferrous alloys. The tool suits CNC and manual operations where rigidity and chip control are critical.
Installation and common issues
Clamp the drill in a precision collet or hydraulic holder to minimise runout and prevent premature wear. Apply the correct coolant pressure and feed rate for the workpiece material to avoid chip packing or breakage. Using a worn holder or incorrect speeds usually causes chipping at the cutting edges.
Pre-order checks
Verify that your machine spindle accepts the drill shank and provides sufficient rigidity for solid carbide tooling. Confirm the workpiece material and thickness match the 3X depth capability of this drill. Ensure your coolant system can deliver adequate flow to the cutting zone for the intended application.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the 8.10 mm Twister XD drill is cutting correctly after chucking it?
Run a test hole in the intended material; the drill should produce a clean, round hole at the nominal 8.10 mm diameter with consistent chip evacuation and no excessive vibration.
What comes in the package with the 2XDSS3189A drill and what must I source separately?
The box contains the solid carbide Twister XD 3X drill only; a compatible drill chuck or collet, cutting fluid and workpiece fixturing are not included.
Which Twister XD variant should I choose for a 3× diameter deep hole in 8.10 mm size?
Select the 2XDSS3189A model — it is the 3X length, 8.10 mm diameter solid carbide drill designed for that depth-to-diameter ratio.
