M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X Drill 0.95mm
This solid carbide drill bit is built for precision hole-making in tough materials. It suits machinists and maintenance teams who need repeatable accuracy at small diameters. The Twister Xd 5X geometry supports high feed rates while maintaining tool life. It is a new cutting tool ready for immediate use in CNC or manual drilling operations.
Replacing worn carbide or cobalt drills
When existing bits show chipping, wandering or excessive heat at 0.95 mm diameter, this drill restores consistent performance. The upgrade is worth it if your current tooling cannot hold tolerance on deep holes or hard alloys. The 5X design reduces cycle time compared to standard flute geometry. Do not choose this if you need larger diameters or non-carbide substrates for softer materials.
Installation and common issues
Clamp the drill in a precision collet or hydraulic holder with minimal run-out. Use peck cycles and flood coolant to evacuate chips from the deep flutes. Common problems include breakage from insufficient rigidity or incorrect feeds, and premature wear if coolant concentration is too low. Verify spindle speed matches the material before starting the cut.

Questions about this item
What chuck size accepts the 0.95 mm shank?
Use a precision collet or three-jaw chuck that closes fully to 0.95 mm; oversized collets will not grip the shank securely.
How deep should the drill be seated in the collet?
Insert the shank until the flutes clear the collet face, then tighten — leaving flutes clamped causes run-out and breakage.
When does the solid carbide drill need replacement?
Replace when corner wear reaches the margin, when chipping appears on the cutting lips, or when hole size drifts beyond tolerance.
