Twister Xd 5X Solid Carbide Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill bit manufactured to a 6.70mm diameter. It is built for machinists and maintenance teams drilling accurate holes in tough alloys and hardened steels. The 5X geometry supports deeper cuts without pecking cycles. This tool suits CNC and rigid manual setups where hole straightness matters.
Solid Carbide Construction and Shank Fit
The one-piece carbide body resists deflection and holds size longer than tipped alternatives under high feed rates. Its cylindrical shank seats directly in standard collets, drill chucks or hydraulic holders without adapters. The flute form evacuates chips efficiently in blind or through holes. No coolant-through channel is present, so external flood or mist is required for deep work.
Heat Resistance and Cutting Load
Solid carbide tolerates higher cutting temperatures than high-speed steel, allowing faster spindle speeds in compatible materials. The 5X length-to-diameter ratio increases thrust force, so rigid workholding and sufficient machine power are necessary. Expect louder breakthrough noise on through holes without a backer block. Tool life depends on correct speeds, feeds and coolant application for the specific workpiece alloy.

Questions about this item
What shank standard does the 6.70 mm Twister Xd 5X drill use, and what does it limit?
The drill has a straight 6.70 mm shank that fits standard collets and three-jaw chucks; the shank diameter sets the maximum tool-holder capacity and prevents use in holders requiring a smaller or tapered shank.
What physical clearance does the 6.70 mm Twister Xd 5X drill need to fit in a machine spindle?
The solid-carbide body measures 6.70 mm in diameter, so the spindle bore, collet, or drill bush must accept at least that size; overall length and flute length follow the manufacturer's 5×D envelope for this diameter.
How is the 6.70 mm Twister Xd 5X drill installed, and what step is often missed?
Clamp the straight shank in a clean, correctly sized collet or chuck, ensure the drill runs true, and apply the recommended coolant pressure; the step most often missed is verifying concentricity before cutting.
