M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X Drill 31/64
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill designed for demanding drilling applications. It is manufactured by M.A. Ford for professional and industrial use. The tool features a 31/64 inch diameter suited for specific hole-making tasks. It is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Suited for machinists needing a rigid carbide drill
This drill suits machinists requiring a solid carbide tool for high-performance drilling in tough materials. It is not intended for users needing a drill with a different diameter or flute length. Buyers who want a coated variant or a step drill should look at other product lines. The Prop 65 warning indicates chemical exposure risks during use.
Install by securing in a compatible tool holder
Installation requires clamping the shank securely in a suitable drill chuck or collet system. Ensure the workpiece is rigidly fixtured to prevent vibration during operation. Common issues include premature wear if run at incorrect speeds or feeds for the material. Coolant or lubrication appropriate to the workpiece material should be used.

Questions about this item
What size drill chuck do I need to hold the 31/64 inch shank on this Twister Xd 5X carbide drill?
Use a chuck that opens to at least 31/64 inch; a standard 1/2 inch capacity chuck will accept the shank without an adapter.
Will the 31/64 diameter work in a hole previously drilled by a 1/2 inch bit?
The 31/64 inch cutting diameter is slightly smaller than 1/2 inch, so it will not clean up a hole already cut at 1/2 inch; choose it for a new pilot hole instead.
How can I confirm the drill is cutting correctly after I start the machine?
Look for short, curled chips and a smooth hole wall; excessive heat, squealing, or long stringy chips indicate the feed or speed needs adjustment.
