4.60 mm solid carbide drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill bit designed for precision holemaking in demanding materials. Its 5× diameter flute length supports deeper drilling without peck cycles. Machinists and fabricators working with hardened steels or high-temperature alloys will find the geometry suited to high-speed production runs.
Twister Xd 5X flute geometry
The solid carbide construction resists deflection and maintains concentricity through extended cuts. A cylindrical shank fits standard collets and drill holders, allowing quick tool changes on CNC mills or rigid tapping heads. The 5× length-to-diameter ratio reduces the need for multiple tool lengths in a single setup.
Replaces general-purpose carbide drills
Shops moving from standard 3×D or 5×D uncoated tools gain longer tool life and tighter tolerances in abrasive alloys. The upgrade is justified when cycle-time reduction and consistent hole quality outweigh the higher per-unit cost of the Twister Xd series.

Questions about this item
What shank standard does the 2XDSR1811A Twister Xd 5X drill use and what maximum diameter does that limit it to?
The drill has a straight 4.60 mm shank that fits standard three-jaw drill chucks and collets, so the practical diameter limit is the 4.60 mm cutting size itself.
What physical clearance does the 4.60 mm Twister Xd 5X drill require in the workpiece or fixture?
The solid-carbide body measures 4.60 mm in diameter, so the hole or bushing must provide at least that much radial clearance plus space for chip evacuation along the flutes.
How is the 2XDSR1811A drill installed in a machine spindle and what step is often missed?
Clamp the straight shank in a collet or drill chuck, ensure the shank is fully seated and the tool runs true, then apply coolant — operators sometimes skip verifying run-out before starting the cut.
