M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a coolant-fed drill designed for precise holemaking in demanding materials. It serves machinists and fabricators who require consistent chip evacuation and thermal control during deep drilling operations. The 3.40 mm diameter suits specific pilot hole and fastener preparation tasks. Buyers needing larger diameters or non-coolant tooling should select a different series.
Coolant-fed design changes chip control
Internal coolant delivery flushes chips directly from the cutting zone, reducing the risk of packing and improving hole straightness. This capability supports deeper holes at higher feed rates than external flood cooling alone can sustain. The design also helps maintain tool life in materials that work-harden or generate excessive heat. Shops without through-spindle coolant capability cannot use this feature.
5X diameter-to-depth ratio defines reach
The 5X designation indicates the flute length allows drilling up to five times the nominal diameter in a single pass. This limit governs maximum hole depth without pecking or tool withdrawal. Exceeding this ratio reduces chip evacuation reliability and may cause deflection or breakage. Applications requiring deeper holes need a longer-ratio tool or a multi-step process.

Questions about this item
How often will the 3.40 mm Twister Xd drill need regrinding or replacement?
Regrind when corner wear reaches the manufacturer's limit; the 5×D flute length allows multiple regrinds before the drill becomes too short for coolant-fed use.
What limits continuous drilling with this coolant-fed 3.40 mm bit?
Chip evacuation capacity in deep holes is the first limit; the 5×D design and coolant feed extend it, but flute packing eventually stops the cut.
How much heat and noise does the 2XDCR1339A generate during all-day operation?
Coolant flow through the tool carries away most cutting heat; noise stays at typical high-speed drilling levels and power draw matches the machine's spindle load.
