Twister Xd 5X Carbide Drill 3.30 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill bit manufactured to a 3.30 mm diameter. It is engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial applications. The tool carries the manufacturer part number 2XDSR1299A for identification.
Suited for precision metalwork, not general DIY
This drill suits machinists and maintenance teams needing rigid, wear-resistant cutting in tough alloys. It is not intended for casual woodwork, plastics or handheld use where carbide brittleness could cause breakage. Buyers requiring coated variants or different flute geometries should review alternative ranges.
Diameter 3.30 mm defines capacity and reach
The 3.30 mm cutting diameter determines the hole size produced and the maximum material thickness practical in a single pass. Solid carbide construction provides stiffness for accurate holes at higher speeds. The bit reaches its limit when hole depth exceeds effective flute length or when workpiece hardness surpasses the substrate grade.

Questions about this item
What chuck size is needed to hold the 3.30 mm shank of this Twister Xd 5X drill?
A drill chuck that accepts a 3.30 mm shank is required; most standard three-jaw chucks down to 1 mm will grip it securely.
Can the 1299 series carbide drill be used in a cordless drill with lower torque than a mains unit?
Yes, the solid carbide construction works in cordless drills, but reduce feed pressure to avoid snapping the brittle cutting edges under sudden load.
How can I confirm the 5X hole depth is being reached without a depth stop?
Mark the flute length at the target depth with tape or a marker; when the mark reaches the workpiece surface the full 5X depth is achieved.
