Twister XD 3X drill 9.70 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 3X is a solid carbide drill sized at 9.70 mm. It is intended for machinists and maintenance teams that need a rigid tool for accurate hole-making in tough materials. The solid carbide construction resists deflection during deep or high-speed cuts.
California Proposition 65 notice
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Users should follow standard workshop safety practices such as ventilation and personal protective equipment. The notice applies to the drill as supplied.
Solid carbide build and shank fit
The one-piece carbide body eliminates the joint between tip and shank that can loosen on brazed tools. This gives consistent run-out and allows the drill to be held securely in standard collets or chucks matched to the shank. The 3X length supports deeper holes without changing tools.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Twister XD 3X 9.70 mm solid carbide drill in my CNC spindle?
Clamp the 9.70 mm shank in a precision collet or hydraulic holder, then verify run-out with a dial indicator before cutting; the step most often missed is checking concentricity after tightening.
What maintenance or replacement will the Twister XD 3X 9.70 mm drill need later?
The solid carbide body cannot be resharpened in-house; plan to replace the drill once flank wear reaches the manufacturer's wear limit or when hole quality drops below tolerance.
What limit shows up first on the Twister XD 3X 9.70 mm drill under sustained high-speed drilling?
Heat buildup at the cutting edges is the first limiting factor; without through-coolant or peck cycles, edge temperature rises quickly and accelerates wear on the 9.70 mm diameter.
