Twister Xd 5X Solid Carbide Drill 3.40 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill bit manufactured for precision holemaking in demanding materials. It targets machinists and maintenance professionals who need repeatable accuracy and extended tool life in production or repair environments. The 3.40 mm diameter suits a range of standard tapping and clearance operations.
Suited for high-performance drilling in steel
This drill suits users who require a rigid, wear-resistant carbide substrate for consistent hole quality at elevated speeds. It is not intended for handheld drilling where run-out cannot be controlled, nor for buyers who need coolant-through capability or a stepped diameter for combined drilling and countersinking.
3.40 mm cutting diameter
The 3.40 mm diameter is the critical specification that determines fit for the intended hole size and downstream tapping requirements. Verify the required hole tolerance and material thickness against this fixed diameter before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.40 mm drill bit generate excessive heat during prolonged drilling sessions?
The solid carbide construction and Twister Xd 5X geometry are designed to dissipate heat efficiently, reducing thermal buildup even in continuous use.
What tool holder or chuck is required to run the 2XDSR1339A drill bit?
A standard drill chuck or collet that accepts a 3.40 mm shank is all that is needed; no special adapter is required.
Can the 3.40 mm Twister Xd bit be used in an older drill press without loss of accuracy?
Yes, the bit fits conventional drill presses and hand drills, and its rigid carbide body maintains hole precision on legacy machines.
