Introducing Twist Drill — Short HSS‑G Twist Drill (Ø 2 mm, 118° Tip, TiN‑coated, DIN 338) from MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is a short HSS‑G drill designed for precision metalworking in drilling machines, offering stability and fast chip evacuation for demanding metal applications.

• Short Twist Drill for precision metal drilling
• TiN‑coated surface for extended tool life
• Fully ground shank for fast, stable drilling
• 118° Tip for reliable centring
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short HSS drills

Greater Stability for Precision Metalworking

This short HSS‑G Twist Drill (Ø 2 mm, Total Length 49 mm, Spiral Length 24 mm) delivers enhanced stability thanks to its reduced overhang. The shorter projection from the chuck minimises vibration and deflection, which results in cleaner holes and improved repeatability when working with Steel, Cast Iron or Non‑Ferrous Metals. Use in stationary or machine drilling operations yields the best accuracy, especially for tight tolerances.

Durable Surface and Faster Cutting Performance

The TiN‑coating significantly reduces friction and increases wear resistance, extending tool life under metal‑cutting conditions. The fully ground (HSS‑G) geometry provides very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity; this enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires noticeably less feed force than conventional HSS drills. For optimum results and prolonged life, employ appropriate coolant to further reduce heat and abrasion during machining.

Practical Tip Geometry and Application Guidance

With a 118° Tip, this short twist drill balances entry behaviour and centring; the angle supports reliable positioning on slightly curved surfaces and aids initial penetration. Although 118° tips are commonly recommended for softer materials like Aluminium and Wood, this short HSS‑G version is engineered to perform reliably in a wide range of metals when used with suitable cutting parameters. For very hard alloys, consider adjusting feed or selecting a different tip geometry.

Conformity, Handling and Recommended Use

Manufactured to DIN 338 as a short spiral drill with cylindrical shank, this tool features a ground flute profile that provides clean chip formation and precise hole quality. The fully ground shank simplifies clamping and improves run‑out accuracy. Due to the ground production method, occasional increased brittleness is possible; therefore, secure clamping and steady feeds are advised. Ideal for professional workshops, maintenance departments and precision metalworking tasks.
