MetavCUT Twist Drill — Short HSS‑G, TiN‑coated, Ø 5.2 mm, 118°

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a short HSS‑G metal drill designed for precision drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steels and other non‑ferrous metals using a drilling machine.

• Short HSS‑G Twist Drill for high stability
• TiN‑coated for reduced friction and longer life
• Fully ground shank for precise concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills
• 118° point angle for reliable centring on curved surfaces

Precision and stability for demanding metalwork

The short design of this Twist Drill improves Stability by reducing the exposed length that can bend under load. A fully ground geometry produces sharp cutting lips and excellent Roundness, so holes are cleaner and more accurate. This makes the bit particularly suitable for stationary and light machine applications where repeatable, precise bores are required. When combined with correct clamping and coolant, the tool achieves long service life and consistent results.

Faster drilling with less effort thanks to coating and grind

A TiN‑coating lowers friction at the cutting edge and reduces wear, while the ground flute geometry enables up to 40% faster advance and roughly 50% less thrust force compared with conventional HSS bits. For operators this means reduced feed effort and improved productivity when machining Steel, Cast Iron or Hard Plastics. Using an appropriate coolant further minimises thermal load and preserves cutting performance.

Broad material compatibility and practical centre guidance

This Twist Drill is engineered for a wide range of materials: Alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Tempered Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Copper, Bronze and Hard Plastic. The 118° point angle offers reliable centring especially on slightly curved surfaces and softer metals such as Aluminium; for very hard materials a different point geometry may be preferred. If precise centring is critical, a centre punch is recommended before drilling to optimise entry behaviour.

Designed for machine use and DIN‑compliant quality assurance

Manufactured in accordance with DIN 338 as a short spiral drill with cylinder shank, this tool meets the dimensional and production standards for professional metalworking. The designation HSS‑G (ground) indicates CNC‑ground flutes that yield sharp cutting edges and tight concentricity; the trade‑off is slightly higher brittleness compared with rolled alternatives, so the bit excels in controlled, machine‑based setups with coolant and proper clamping.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger bore diameters; its short form is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads. The design remains suitable for heavy‑duty metalworking tasks and provides long life when used with appropriate coolant and machine support.

Which 3 drill types are there?
Common drill categories are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills.
