Questions about this item
What shank interface does the 8.60 mm Twister Xd drill use, and what is the maximum diameter it can cut?
The drill has a straight 8.60 mm shank that fits standard three-jaw chucks and cuts holes up to its own 8.60 mm diameter.
What chuck capacity and clearance are needed to mount this 8.60 mm solid-carbide drill?
A chuck that opens to at least 8.60 mm is required, plus enough spindle travel for the full flute length of the bit.
How is the Twister Xd 5X drill installed, and what mistake should be avoided?
Insert the shank fully into the chuck, tighten evenly on all three jaws, and avoid leaving the bit proud — insufficient clamping causes run-out and breakage.
