M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X Coolant Fed Drill 5.80mm 2XDCR2283A
A coolant-fed drill bit with a 5.80 mm diameter for deep-hole drilling
- 5x coolant-fed design clears chips efficiently
- 80 mm diameter suits precise drilling tasks
- M.A. Ford Twister XD series built for durability
- Prop 65 warning notes chemical exposure risks
- Manufacturer direct shipping ensures authentic product
Application fit
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X Coolant Fed Drill in 5.80 mm diameter serves machinists who need through-coolant delivery for deep-hole drilling in steel and alloy workpieces. It is not for operators who require a larger or smaller cutting diameter or a non-coolant-fed shank.
Thermal and power behaviour
Coolant fed through the tool body carries heat away from the cutting zone during normal drilling cycles, helping to maintain edge integrity and reduce thermal expansion. No power-draw or noise figures are supplied for the drill itself.
Build integration
The drill fits standard coolant-through tool holders and machine spindles that accept a 5.80 mm shank with internal coolant passages. It frees the operator from external flood-coolant plumbing and clears chips through the flutes, but it needs a machine equipped for through-spindle coolant supply.

- 5x coolant-fed design clears chips efficiently
- 80 mm diameter suits precise drilling tasks

Questions about this item
How do you install the 5.80mm Twister XD 5X coolant-fed drill in a CNC holder?
Clamp the shank in a hydraulic or shrink-fit holder rated for 5.80 mm, engage the machine’s through-spindle coolant at the pressure the tool requires, and verify run-out before cutting — the step most often missed is confirming coolant flow through the internal channels before the first plunge.
What maintenance or replacement will the 2XDCR2283A drill need after extended use?
Monitor flank wear and corner chipping on the 5.80 mm cutting edges; resharpen on a five-axis grinder using the original geometry when wear reaches the manufacturer’s limit, otherwise replace the drill to hold hole size and finish.
What limit appears first on the 5.80mm Twister XD during sustained high-feed drilling?
The internal coolant passages can clog with fine chips if filtration is inadequate, cutting off lubrication and causing rapid edge breakdown — that thermal limit typically shows up before the carbide substrate reaches its wear threshold.
