M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X Drill 9/64
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X is a solid carbide drill bit sized at 9/64 for precise hole making. It suits machinists and maintenance teams who need consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The rigid carbide construction resists deflection during deep cuts. This accessory fits standard drill chucks and CNC tool holders.
Installation uses standard collets or chucks
Secure the shank firmly in a clean, matched collet or three-jaw chuck to prevent runout. Ensure the workpiece is rigidly clamped so vibration does not chip the carbide edges. A common error is running excessive speed without adequate coolant, which accelerates flank wear. Always verify spindle alignment before starting the cycle.
Sustained load keeps cutting edges stable
Under continuous drilling the solid carbide body dissipates heat evenly, maintaining sharpness longer than tipped alternatives. The 5X geometry supports steady chip evacuation at depth without packing. Proposition 65 notices apply: the product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Proper ventilation and coolant management reduce exposure during extended runs.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the Twister XD 5X 9/64 drill is cutting correctly after setup?
Check that the solid carbide drill produces clean, accurate holes at the 9/64 diameter with minimal burr and consistent chip evacuation during operation.
What comes in the box with the 2XDSR1406A and what must I supply?
The package contains the M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X solid carbide drill only; you must provide a compatible drill chuck or holder and cutting fluid separately.
Which Twister XD version should I choose for a 9/64 hole?
Select the 2XDSR1406A model, which is the 5X solid carbide drill specifically ground to 9/64 diameter.
