Solid Carbide Drill 11.70 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X is a solid carbide drill bit manufactured to a 11.70 mm diameter. It is intended for machinists and maintenance technicians who require a durable cutting tool for precision holemaking in metalworking applications.
Twister XD 5X series tooling
This accessory fits directly into a compatible drill chuck or tool holder on a milling machine, lathe or CNC centre. Its solid carbide construction removes the need for separate insert changes and reduces tool inventory complexity in high-volume production environments.
Heat resistance and cutting efficiency
Solid carbide maintains hardness at elevated temperatures generated during drilling, allowing sustained material removal without rapid edge wear. The substrate composition manages heat at the cutting zone to limit thermal expansion and preserve hole accuracy during extended cycles.

Questions about this item
How deep can the 11.70 mm Twister XD 5X drill in a single pass?
The 5X solid-carbide design allows drilling up to five times the diameter, so the practical depth limit is about five times 11.70 mm.
Does the carbide drill generate noticeable heat or noise during extended use in a drill press?
Solid carbide runs hotter than cobalt steel, so sustained high-speed drilling will produce significant heat; use coolant and peck cycles to manage temperature.
What shank size or holder does the 11.70 mm drill require to fit my machine?
The drill has a standard straight shank matching its 11.70 mm diameter, so it needs a collet or chuck that accepts that exact size.
