MetavCUT Twist Drill — Short Twist Drill, 1 mm, 118°, HSS‑G, TIN‑coated, DIN 338

A short Twist Drill designed for precision metal drilling with Drilling Machines.

• Short design for increased rigidity and precision
• TIN‑coated surface for reduced wear
• HSS‑G ground flute for faster, cleaner drilling
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent quality
• Optimised for Drilling Machines and metalworking

Stability and Precision for demanding metalwork

The short Twist Drill construction reduces the unsupported overhang, delivering noticeably higher stability and less tendency to bend during operation. This compact geometry is particularly advantageous when drilling in Steel and other hard materials, because the shorter projection increases accuracy and improves hole quality. Users benefit from fewer rejects and reduced rework when tight tolerances are required.

Coating and material that extend tool life

A TIN‑coating (Titanium Nitride) on the HSS‑G substrate reduces friction and thermal wear, which increases service life under intermittent or continuous cutting. The HSS‑G (ground) manufacturing yields sharp cutting edges that start cuts more cleanly; combined with suitable coolant, the coating notably lowers abrasion and keeps the tool cutting longer, improving overall productivity for metal applications.

Faster drilling with lower operator effort

The ground flute geometry of this Twist Drill enables up to 40% faster penetration compared to conventional HSS drills while requiring significantly less feed pressure. This results in more efficient machining cycles and reduced operator fatigue when working with Alloys, Cast Iron and non‑ferrous Metals. The 118° point angle is balanced to ease centring while maintaining a reliable entry for common metalworking tasks.

Designed to match machine and standard requirements

Manufactured to DIN 338, the drill fits conventional holders and machine setups for rotating and stationary tools. The fully ground shank ensures concentricity and reliable clamping in the chuck of a Drilling Machine, while the short execution suits both bench and production environments. This combination supports consistent hole geometry and repeatable results across batches.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and for larger drilling tasks in metalworking; its short design is easy to resharpen and resists higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metal drills where longevity and robustness are required.

Which three drill types are commonly available?
In general, three main drill types exist: Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for performance on ferrous and non‑ferrous metals.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened?
Twist drills are sharpened to reduce the cross‑cut at the tip, which lowers friction and therefore the required feed force; sharpening also improves centring of the MetavCUT Twist Drill in the workpiece, giving cleaner entries and more accurate holes.

Can metal drills be used in wood?
Metal drills such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but they typically provide less guidance and a rougher finish than dedicated wood drills; however, they are easier to resharpen and exhibit less self‑feeding, which can be beneficial in some workshop situations.
