MetavCUT Twist Drill (Short) — Twist Drill, HSS-G, 1.5 mm, TIN-coated, 118° tip, DIN 338

The Twist Drill (Short) from MetavCUT is a precision HSS-G drill intended for metalworking on drilling machines and hand drills, combining a short, rigid design with TIN coating for longer life and reliable centring.

• MetavCUT Twist Drill Short 1.5 mm diameter
• TIN-coated for extended tool life
• Fully ground shank for precise runout
• DIN 338 compliant short design for metal
• Up to 40% faster drilling with lower thrust

Precise Metalworking with Reduced Runout and Better Control

Designed for demanding metal applications, the Twist Drill offers a 1.5 mm cutting diameter and a fully ground shank that improves concentricity and reduces runout. This results in cleaner holes and more consistent fits when working with steels and non-ferrous metals. Users benefit from the increased accuracy when performing repetitive or precision drilling tasks on stationary or portable drilling machines.

Short Design for Greater Stability and Faster Results

A shorter overall length significantly reduces the unsupported overhang, improving stability and minimising bending. The short configuration enhances stability and precision, making the tool especially suitable for drilling hard materials where deflection would otherwise compromise hole quality. For workshop setups that require tight tolerances, the compact geometry helps achieve faster cycle times without sacrificing control.

Durable Construction: HSS-G Material and TIN Coating Explained

Manufactured from HSS-G (ground high-speed steel) and finished with a TIN-coated surface, this Twist Drill combines sharp cutting edges with a low-friction layer. HSS-G means the flutes and geometry are produced by grinding, yielding very sharp edges and high concentric accuracy. The Titanium Nitride coating reduces friction and wear under proper cooling, extending tool life during serial metal drilling operations and lowering the risk of premature dulling.

Practical Application Tips and Suitable Materials

With a 118° tip angle, the drill offers easier centring on slightly curved or coated surfaces and works well in softer to medium-hard materials; combined with the short design it is also effective in steels and cast materials when appropriate coolant is applied. For best results in alloyed or unalloyed steels, use steady feed, proper clamping and coolant. The tool complies with DIN 338, indicating it meets standard dimensions and tolerances for short twist drills with cylindrical shanks.

FAQ

What materials is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Short) is intended primarily for metalworking and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steel, Tempered Cast Iron, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Copper Alloys, Bronze and certain Hard Plastics when used with appropriate coolant and machine settings.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high-strength materials and larger hole diameters; its ground geometry is easy to re-sharpen and resists higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking tasks while maintaining good centring and durability.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common drill types: Metal drills, Wood drills, and Masonry/Concrete (Stone) drills.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened?
The sharpening reduces the secondary cutting edge at the tip, which lowers friction and therefore the required feed force; sharpening also improves centring, so the MetavCUT Twist Drill achieves more accurate starts and smoother cutting in the workpiece.
