Precision Drilling Tool
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Its 6.90 mm cutting diameter suits machine shops and fabrication professionals who require accurate hole-making with extended tool life. The solid carbide construction provides the rigidity needed for consistent results in tough alloys.
Application Scope
This drill serves machinists producing close-tolerance holes in steel, stainless steel and high-temperature alloys where carbide outperforms high-speed steel. It is not suited for hand-held drilling or intermittent use where rigidity cannot be maintained. Buyers needing larger diameters or different flute lengths must select alternative tooling.
Critical Specification
The 6.90 mm diameter is the primary dimension that determines fit for a specific hole size. Verify this exact measurement against the engineering drawing or bill of materials before ordering. The tool carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Will the 6.90 mm Twister Xd 5X fit the chuck on my older drill press?
The 6.90 mm shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks that accept metric bits up to that diameter; verify your chuck capacity before use.
How can I confirm the 2XDSR2717A is cutting correctly after installation?
Expect smooth, quiet drilling with consistent chip evacuation and a clean hole wall at the rated 5X diameter depth.
Does the box include any coolant or lubricant for the solid carbide drill?
The package contains only the 6.90 mm Twister Xd 5X drill; cutting fluid or coolant must be purchased separately.
