A transient torsional response of an elastic solid is discussed. Introducing a semi‐infinite needle‐like torque source, exact closed form expressions for torsional displacement and stress are obtained. Due to the needle‐like shape of the source, two waves are produced. One is a cylindrical wave centered at its symmetry axis and the other is a spherical one centered at the edge of the needle source. The cylindrical wave shows the inverse square root singularity at its front, but the spherical wave does a finite jump at the front. Some additional discussions for the static response to the torque source are also carried out. The proposed needle‐like torque source might be used as a primary model for the bore drilling technology.
