Twister Xd 5X Coolant-Fed Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a coolant-fed drill designed for high-performance drilling applications. It suits machinists and engineers who require efficient chip evacuation and extended tool life in demanding materials. The integrated coolant channels deliver fluid directly to the cutting zone. This design supports consistent hole quality and reduced cycle times.
8.60 mm Diameter Capacity
The 8.60 mm cutting diameter handles precise hole-making in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its 5X diameter flute length provides adequate reach for medium-depth drilling operations. The geometry manages chip formation effectively within this depth range. Deeper holes or larger diameters exceed the intended scope of this specific tool.
Coolant-Fed Interface Limits
The coolant-fed shank requires a compatible tool holder and machine spindle with through-coolant capability. Without this interface, the internal channels cannot function and the drill loses its primary advantage. Standard holders without coolant ports are unsuitable for this design. The tool is not intended for dry or external flood coolant-only setups.

Questions about this item
Will the 8.60 mm Twister Xd 5X fit my existing tool holder and coolant setup?
The 8.60 mm shank matches standard holders for this diameter; the through-coolant design connects to common machine-tool coolant systems without adapters.
How do I verify the 5X drill is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for steady chip evacuation through the flutes, consistent coolant flow at the tip, and hole diameter held to 8.60 mm tolerance.
Does the box include the 2XDCR3386A drill only, or are collets and coolant fittings supplied?
The package contains the 2XDCR3386A Twister Xd 5X drill; collets, holders and coolant fittings are sold separately.
