M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X Drill 8.50 mm
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X is a solid carbide drill bit manufactured to an 8.50 mm diameter. It is designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials where rigidity and wear resistance are critical. This new accessory targets professional machinists and maintenance engineers who require consistent hole quality and extended tool life.
Suited for high-volume production
This drill suits workshops running CNC machines or rigid manual setups that can exploit the stiffness of solid carbide. It is not for portable hand-drill users who lack the spindle rigidity to prevent breakage. Buyers needing larger diameters or stepped profiles should look at other tooling because this item is a single-size 8.50 mm drill.
8.50 mm cutting diameter
The 8.50 mm diameter is the primary specification that determines fit for a given hole size. It must match the required nominal diameter exactly; no oversize or undersize allowance is implied. Verify the drawing call-out before ordering because this drill is ground to that single dimension.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 8.50 mm Twister XD 5X or a different diameter for my application?
Select the 8.50 mm size when your hole tolerance and material thickness match that exact diameter; other diameters in the Twister XD 5X range serve different hole sizes.
What does the 5X designation mean for drilling performance in a CNC machine?
The 5X indicates a flute length five times the 8.50 mm diameter, giving deeper hole capability in a single pass compared with shorter series drills.
How does the solid carbide construction affect tool life when cutting hardened steel?
Solid carbide maintains hardness at high cutting temperatures, so the Twister XD 5X resists wear longer than cobalt or HSS drills in hardened steel applications.
