M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X Coolant Fed Drill 35/64
This solid-carbide drill features a 35/64 inch diameter and a 5× diameter flute length for deep-hole work in steel and cast iron. Internal coolant channels deliver fluid directly to the cutting zone, reducing heat and improving chip evacuation. The tool is aimed at CNC machinists and production shops that need consistent hole quality at high feed rates.
Installation and common issues
The shank fits standard hydraulic or shrink-fit holders; run-out should be checked before the first cut. Coolant pressure must reach the minimum specified by the machine builder, otherwise chips can pack in the flutes. Incorrect speed or feed settings often cause chipping on the cutting edges or premature wear on the margin lands.
Pre-order checks
Verify that your machine spindle can supply through-coolant at the required pressure and flow. Confirm the holder accommodates the straight shank and that the work envelope allows the full 5× drill length. Ensure the workpiece material matches the drill’s recommended application range for carbide tooling.
