Micro-diameter drill for precision work
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill with a 0.65 mm cutting diameter. It is intended for machinists and toolmakers who need accurate holes in hard materials where standard twist drills would deflect or wander.
Five-times-diameter depth in a single pass
The 5X flute length allows the drill to reach full depth without pecking, reducing cycle time and improving hole straightness. Solid carbide construction maintains rigidity at high spindle speeds so the tool resists breakage during sustained production runs.
Low thrust force cuts heat and noise
The specialised point geometry lowers cutting forces, which keeps workpiece temperature down and reduces audible chatter on CNC machines. Less power is drawn from the spindle motor, extending both tool life and machine uptime between tool changes.

Questions about this item
How much heat or vibration does the 0.65 mm carbide drill generate during extended drilling cycles?
The solid carbide construction runs cooler than high-speed steel, reducing thermal buildup in the workpiece and minimising vibration for consistent hole quality.
What shank size and tool holder does the 2XDSR0256A drill require to fit my machine?
The drill uses a standard straight shank matching its 0.65 mm diameter, so any collet or chuck that accepts that size will secure it without an adapter.
Will the Twister Xd 5X drill work reliably in older drill presses with lower spindle speeds?
Yes, the 5× diameter flute length and carbide substrate maintain cutting performance even at modest RPMs, letting older machines produce accurate holes without premature wear.
