Product identity
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 3X is a solid carbide drill bit manufactured for precision holemaking. It is built for machinists and maintenance teams who need repeatable accuracy in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Suitability
This 9.60 mm diameter tool suits workshops running rigid CNC machines or stable pillar drills with adequate coolant supply. It is not for handheld drilling, low-rigidity setups or applications requiring larger diameters than the fixed size provided.
Capacity and headroom
The 3X flute length gives enough reach for through-holes and blind holes up to roughly three times the diameter in a single pass. Chip evacuation remains reliable within that range, but deeper holes will require peck cycles or a longer-series drill.

- 3× diameter flute length enables deeper holes in one pass

Questions about this item
What drill chuck size do I need to hold the 9.60 mm shank?
A chuck that opens to at least 9.60 mm will grip the solid carbide shank securely.
Will the Twister Xd 3X drill cut cleanly in the mild steel I normally machine with older HSS bits?
Yes, the solid carbide construction handles mild steel and leaves a smoother finish than high-speed steel.
How can I confirm the drill is cutting correctly once it is in the spindle?
Listen for a steady, quiet cut and check that chips form tight, consistent spirals without blue discoloration.
