Twister Xd 5X Coolant Fed Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X Coolant Fed Drill, No 30 is a precision cutting tool designed for high-performance drilling applications. It features internal coolant delivery to manage heat and improve chip evacuation during operation. This drill suits professional machinists and maintenance teams requiring reliable hole-making in demanding materials.
Suited for coolant-fed machining setups
This drill suits workshops with machine tools equipped for through-spindle or through-holder coolant delivery. It is not for buyers lacking coolant-fed capability or those needing a standard twist drill for dry drilling. Shops without high-pressure coolant systems should look at alternative drilling solutions.
Drill size No 30
The drill carries the designation No 30, which determines its nominal diameter and fit for specific hole requirements. Verify this size matches your engineering drawing or tap drill chart before ordering. The 5X designation indicates a flute length approximately five times the diameter for deeper holes.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 5X coolant-fed drill and what step is often missed?
Mount the drill in a compatible holder, connect the coolant supply to the through-tool port, and verify flow before starting — skipping the flow check is the common error.
What maintenance or replacement will the Twister Xd drill need later?
The cutting edges will wear; plan to resharpen or replace the drill when hole quality drops, and inspect coolant seals periodically for leaks.
What limit appears first during sustained use of the No 30 drill?
Heat buildup at the cutting zone typically limits continuous drilling before coolant capacity or tool deflection becomes critical.
