M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X Drill 16.50mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd is a coolant-fed drill designed for precise hole-making at a 16.50mm diameter. Its 5X geometry supports deeper drilling cycles in a single pass. This new cutting tool targets machinists and maintenance teams working with steel, stainless alloys and cast iron. It is not suited for hand-held drilling or non-coolant machines.
Coolant-fed thermals and power draw
Internal coolant channels deliver fluid directly to the cutting zone, controlling heat generation during normal drilling operations. This flow reduces thermal expansion in the workpiece and limits frictional heat at the cutting edges. Stable temperatures lower the instantaneous power demand on the machine spindle. The design avoids the thermal spikes common with external flood cooling alone.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous deep-hole drilling the 5X flute length maintains consistent chip evacuation without packing. Coolant pressure flushes chips ahead of the margins, preventing re-cutting and margin wear over long cycles. The tool holds diameter tolerance and surface finish across extended production runs. It is not intended for interrupted cuts or materials requiring specialised coating chemistries not listed here.

Questions about this item
How is the Twister Xd 5X coolant fed drill installed in a machine spindle, and what step is commonly missed?
Mount the 16.50 mm shank securely in a compatible holder, then connect the coolant supply line to the tool's internal feed port; operators often forget to purge air from the coolant channel before the first cut.
What maintenance or replacement will the 2XDCR6496A drill need during its service life?
The cutting edges will dull with use and require professional regrinding or full replacement; inspect the coolant passages regularly for blockage and clean them to maintain flow.
What limit appears first when the drill runs continuously at high feed rates?
Heat buildup at the cutting zone becomes the limiting factor; sustained operation without adequate coolant volume and pressure will accelerate wear and risk thermal damage to the workpiece.
