MetavCUT Twist Drill — short HSS‑G, TIN‑coated, Ø 4.5 mm, 118°

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a short HSS‑G drill bit designed for precise metalworking on drilling machines and hand drills, optimised for stability and long tool life.

• Short design for higher rigidity and precision
• TIN‑coating extends tool life for metal drilling
• Fully ground shaft for clean, accurate holes
• Complies with DIN 338 for short twist drills
• Fast cutting with reduced feed force

Greater Precision through a Short, Stable Design

The short configuration of this Twist Drill reduces the exposed length and significantly improves Stability during machining. This leads to less bending and a more accurate hole position when working on vertical or portable drilling machines. For users who require repeatable, tight tolerances, the reduced overhang is a clear practical advantage that minimises rework and scrap.

Coating and Material for Longer Service Life

Equipped with a TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating and made from HSS‑G, this drill offers enhanced wear resistance when machining steels and non‑ferrous metals. The coating lowers friction and, with appropriate cooling, reduces abrasion so that tool life is extended. In many workshop applications the fully ground HSS formulation enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires around 50% less feed force, improving efficiency and operator comfort.

Application Range and Practical Use

The MetavCUT short Twist Drill is intended for metalworking and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Tempered Cast Iron, Cast Iron, Bronze, Copper, Neusilber and Hard Plastics. It is suitable for use in both stationary machines and hand‑held drilling devices when proper clamping and alignment are ensured. Use cutting fluid or a cooling system for best results in tougher materials to avoid premature wear or breakage.

Why DIN 338 and the Fully Ground Shaft Matter

Manufactured according to DIN 338, this short twist drill follows standardised dimensions and geometric features for reliable interchangeability. The designation HSS‑G (ground) means the flutes and cutting geometry are produced by grinding rather than rolling, resulting in sharper cutting edges, excellent concentricity and cleaner hole surfaces. Note that ground drills can be more brittle; therefore controlled feed, correct clamping and coolant use are recommended for prolonged tool life.

FAQ

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in hand drills or only in machines?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is suitable for both drilling machines and careful use in hand drills, provided the workpiece is securely clamped and the drill is guided to avoid lateral stress. The short design increases rigidity, which helps when using portable equipment, but for best results and longest life a stationary drilling machine with coolant is recommended.

What is a Twist Drill mainly used for?
A Twist Drill like the MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger diameters; its geometry is easily resharpened and it withstands substantial loads, making it ideal for demanding Metal Drilling tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
Common categories are Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Stone/Concrete Drill; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal Drill group and is optimised for use in metalworking applications.
