6.40 mm coolant-fed drill bit
The M.A. Ford Twister Xd 7X+ is a solid-carbide drill designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding materials. Internal coolant channels deliver lubricant directly to the cutting zone, improving chip evacuation and tool life. It targets machine shops and production environments that require consistent accuracy at elevated speeds.
Sustained-load behaviour with internal coolant
Coolant fed through the tool body stabilises cutting temperatures during extended drilling cycles, reducing thermal shock to the carbide substrate. The 7X+ geometry maintains chip control at high penetration rates, preventing packing that can catastrophically fail the drill in deep holes. Continuous operation benefits from the consistent heat removal that external flood coolant cannot match.
Replaces external-coolant or non-coolant drills
Shops moving from conventional twist drills or external-coolant carbide tools gain deeper-hole capability and longer intervals between regrinds. The upgrade is justified when hole depth exceeds five diameters or when difficult alloys cause premature wear on standard tools. Operations limited to shallow holes in free-machining materials will not realise the full return on investment.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 6.40 mm coolant-fed drill generate during continuous operation?
The drill uses internal coolant delivery through the 2XDCL2520A body to carry heat away from the cutting zone, keeping the tool and workpiece cooler during extended drilling cycles.
What machine spindle and coolant system are required to run the 2XDCL2520A drill?
A CNC or rigid milling machine with a spindle that accepts a 6.40 mm shank and a through-spindle coolant supply rated for the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
Will the 6.40 mm Twister Xd 7X+ fit the tool holders and collets I already use for standard drills?
Yes, the 6.40 mm diameter shank matches common ER collets, Weldon flats and hydraulic holders used for standard 6 mm and 1/4 inch tooling.
