Twister Xd 5X Solid Carbide Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 5X is a solid carbide drill built for high-performance holemaking in demanding materials. It suits machinists and maintenance teams who need accurate, repeatable results in steel, stainless steel and high-temperature alloys. The 9.80 mm diameter supports precise production and repair work.
Sustained cutting performance
Solid carbide construction maintains hardness and edge integrity throughout extended drilling cycles. The Twister Xd geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup during continuous operation. This stability helps hold tight tolerances across long production runs without frequent tool changes.
Upgrade from standard carbide or cobalt drills
Shops replacing general-purpose carbide or cobalt tools gain longer tool life and faster cycle times in tough alloys. The jump is worth it when hole quality and reduced downtime outweigh the higher initial cost. It does not suit applications requiring indexable inserts or diameters outside the 9.80 mm size.

Questions about this item
How much noise, heat or power does the 9.80 mm Twister Xd 5X carbide drill generate when running all day in a CNC machine?
The solid carbide construction runs cooler than high-speed steel equivalents and draws only the power your spindle delivers at the chosen feed and speed.
What tool holder or collet must I already own to clamp the 9.80 mm shank of this Twister Xd 5X drill?
A 9.80 mm hydraulic, shrink-fit or ER collet chuck matching your machine spindle taper is required for secure clamping.
Will the 9.80 mm Twister Xd 5X work reliably in an older manual mill that lacks through-spindle coolant?
Yes — the 5×D flute length evacuates chips effectively with external flood coolant, so the drill performs well on legacy machines without internal coolant.
