Solid carbide drill for demanding holes
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill designed for high-performance drilling in tough materials. It serves machinists and maintenance teams who need reliable hole-making in production or repair environments. The 2460 series identifies this specific tool within the range.
Build quality suits repetitive use
Solid carbide construction gives the drill high wear resistance and rigidity during extended cycles. The Twister Xd geometry supports efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. These traits help maintain accuracy and tool life in daily workshop operations.
Check shank fit and coolant access
Verify that your machine spindle or holder accepts the shank style of this 2460 series drill before ordering. Confirm that your setup can deliver coolant or lubricant to the cutting zone if the application requires it. Review the Proposition 65 notice regarding chemical exposure during use.

Questions about this item
What shank standard does the 2460A use and what does it cap in practice?
The 2460A has a straight shank that fits standard drill chucks and collets, capping the maximum shank diameter to the chuck capacity you select.
What physical clearance does the Twister Xd 5X drill need to fit in my machine?
The solid carbide body requires a rigid setup with enough spindle travel for the full flute length and a chuck or collet that matches the straight shank diameter.
How is the 2460A installed and what step do people often get wrong?
Clamp the straight shank in a clean, matched collet or drill chuck, ensure the flute exits the workpiece before retracting, and never exceed the recommended feed for the material.
