8.80 mm Solid Carbide Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill bit measuring 8.80 mm in diameter. It is designed for power and pneumatic tool users who need a durable cutting accessory for precision holemaking. The solid carbide construction provides high rigidity and wear resistance in demanding applications.
Replaces worn or standard steel bits
This drill upgrades from conventional high-speed steel or cobalt bits that dull quickly in hard materials. The jump is worth it when hole accuracy and tool life are critical, reducing the frequency of bit changes and maintaining consistent diameter over long production runs.
Fits standard pneumatic and power drill holders
The straight shank allows direct clamping in common drill chucks and collets without special adapters. Its rigidity frees up machining time by minimising deflection and vibration, while the solid carbide body eliminates the need for separate insert tooling and associated setup complexity.

Questions about this item
Will an 8.80 mm shank fit a standard 3/8 in drill chuck?
An 8.80 mm shank is slightly larger than a 3/8 in chuck capacity, so a 1/2 in chuck or larger is required.
How do I install the Twister Xd drill bit without damaging the solid carbide?
Clamp the 8.80 mm shank fully in a clean, concentric chuck; the step users miss is verifying run-out before drilling.
When should I replace the 2XDSS3465A drill instead of resharpening?
Replace when corner wear reaches the margin or if the solid carbide shows micro-chipping that resharpening cannot remove.
