MetavCUT Twist Drill (Short) — 2.5 mm, 118° Tip, HSS‑G, TIN‑coated, Fully Ground, DIN 338

The short MetavCUT Twist Drill is a precision metalworking tool for Drilling Machines, designed for stable, fast and clean holes in alloyed and unalloyed metals.

• Short design for increased stability and precision
• TIN‑coated surface for reduced wear and friction
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity and clean holes
• Complies with DIN 338 for short HSS Twist Drills
• Optimised for metal drilling with 118° tip angle

Greater stability and accurate results for metalworking

Shorter overall length reduces overhang and significantly improves stability during machining. The compact geometry of this short Twist Drill minimises bending and vibration, enabling more precise hole positions and better surface finish. For operators who demand repeatable accuracy, the reduced deflection means lower scrap rates and faster setup, particularly when working on hardened or alloyed metals.

Coating and material that extend service life

The combination of HSS‑G substrate and a TIN‑coated surface reduces friction and wear during cutting, especially under lubrication or coolant. This coating lowers thermal load at the cutting edges and helps maintain sharpness over longer production runs, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes. For users machining Copper, Bronze or Tempered Steel, the TIN layer improves durability and process stability.

Precision shank and geometry for clean holes

A fully ground shank and CNC‑ground flute geometry produce sharp cutting edges and excellent concentricity. The ground design enables up to 40% faster penetration with about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills, resulting in cleaner bores and reduced torque on handheld or stationary Drilling Machines. This is advantageous when tight tolerances and high repeatability are required.

Engineered to standards and practical applications

Designed to DIN 338, this short Twist Drill follows established dimensional and manufacturing criteria for short cylinder‑shank HSS drills. The 118° tip angle is suitable for many common metals and softer materials where easier centring is beneficial. Typical applications include precision component manufacture, toolroom operations and general metal fabrication where controlled entry and minimal wander are important.

Who benefits from this short Twist Drill

Manufacturers, maintenance workshops and precision trade shops will appreciate the tool’s combination of rigidity and wear resistance. The design suits both bench‑mounted and portable Drilling Machines used for small to medium diameters. For users needing reliable, easy‑to‑regrind drills with predictable behaviour under coolant, this tool offers a balanced solution.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill short used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill short is primarily used for precision drilling in high‑strength and general metals. This short Twist Drill excels where stability and minimal deflection are needed; it is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, copper, bronze and hard plastics, delivering clean, accurate holes even under demanding conditions.

Which three drill types exist?
In general drilling practice the main categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal drills group and is optimised for machining metals with appropriate coolant and correct feed rates.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened?
Sharpening reduces the cross‑edge at the tip, which lowers friction and therefore the necessary feed force. For the MetavCUT Twist Drill, proper tip geometry improves centring in the workpiece and reduces cutting resistance, resulting in easier drilling and better hole quality.
