- Twister Xd geometry reduces thrust and extends tool life
- 5× flute length reaches deeper features without pecking
- M.A. Ford quality delivers consistent performance in production environments
Twister Xd 5X Drill 8.20 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd is a solid-carbide drill with a 5x diameter flute length and through-coolant holes. It is engineered for high-performance drilling in steel, stainless steel and high-temperature alloys where consistent chip evacuation and tool life are critical.
Suited for CNC shops running production cycles
Machinists who need reliable deep-hole drilling with internal coolant supply will benefit from the 5x length and specialised geometry. Operations limited to external coolant or handheld use cannot exploit the through-tool delivery and should consider alternative tooling.
8.20 mm cutting diameter
This nominal size determines hole tolerance and toolholder compatibility; verify the required diameter against your drawing before ordering. The coolant-fed design also demands a machine spindle and holder capable of delivering pressurised fluid through the tool centre.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 8.20 mm Twister Xd drill generate during continuous coolant-fed operation?
The coolant-fed design actively removes heat from the cutting zone, keeping the drill body cooler than non-coolant drills during extended use.
What machine spindle and coolant system are required to run the 2XDCR3228A drill?
A CNC or rigid milling machine with a high-pressure through-spindle coolant system and a holder that accepts an 8.20 mm shank is required.
Can the 8.20 mm Twister Xd drill be used in older manual drill presses without through-spindle coolant?
No, the drill is engineered for high-pressure coolant-fed machining centres; running it without coolant will cause rapid wear and possible breakage.
