Product identity
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill bit measuring 8.20 mm in diameter. It is designed for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a durable cutting tool for precise hole-making in tough materials.
Practical limits
The drill operates within the constraints of standard rotary tooling interfaces and the rigidity of the machine spindle. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the presence of chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, requiring appropriate safety controls during use.
Installation and pitfalls
The bit installs directly into a compatible drill chuck or collet without additional hardware. Common issues include premature wear from incorrect speeds or feeds, and breakage if the workpiece is not securely clamped or if coolant is neglected.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 8.20 mm Twister Xd 5X or a different diameter?
Select the 8.20 mm drill when your hole size matches this diameter; other diameters are separate items for different hole requirements.
What does the 5X designation mean when the drill is in the machine?
The 5X indicates a flute length roughly five times the 8.20 mm diameter, giving deeper drilling capability in a single pass.
What shank interface does the 2XDSR3228A use and what does it limit?
The drill uses a standard straight shank that fits common drill chucks, limiting use to holders that accept round shanks.
