Twister XD 5X drill for precision holes
This M.A. Ford solid carbide drill cuts 25/64 inch holes in demanding materials. The Twister XD 5X geometry targets high-performance drilling in tough alloys and hardened steels. Machinists and toolroom professionals choose it when standard drills wear too quickly. It ships new from the manufacturer.
Replaces general-purpose carbide drills in hard
Upgrade when your current drills dull fast in heat-treated or abrasive workpieces. The 5X design extends tool life and holds tighter tolerances in difficult cuts. The jump is worth it if scrap rates or cycle times are rising on tough jobs. Standard drills still suit softer materials and low-volume work.
Check spindle runout and coolant delivery before
Solid carbide needs rigid holding and accurate alignment to avoid breakage. Verify your holder and machine condition match the demands of high-performance drilling. Ensure coolant reaches the cutting zone at adequate pressure for chip evacuation. Confirm the 25/64 diameter matches your hole specification and tap drill chart.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the 25/64 Twister XD drill need to fit my drill chuck?
The 25/64 inch diameter shank fits standard three-jaw chucks that accept fractional-inch bits up to that size.
How do I install the 2XDSR3906A bit without snapping the carbide tip?
Clamp the workpiece firmly, start the hole at low RPM with steady feed pressure, and avoid side loads that can fracture the solid carbide.
When should I replace the 25/64 solid carbide drill?
Replace it when the cutting lips show visible wear, chipping, or when hole diameter and finish fall outside tolerance.
