MetavCUT Twist Drill (Short, 7 mm, 118°, TiN-coated, HSS-G, DIN 338, Fully ground shank)

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a short Twist Drill engineered for precision metal drilling, offering a 7 mm diameter, a 118° tip angle and a TiN coating for longer tool life.

• Short design for increased stability
• 7 mm Diameter for precise holes
• 118° Tip Angle for easier penetration
• TiN-coated HSS for extended tool life
• Fully ground shank for fast drilling

High performance and measurable efficiency for metalworking

The MetavCUT Twist Drill combines a short design with HSS-G material and a TiN-coated surface to reduce friction and extend service life. The ground geometry delivers up to 40% faster drilling and requires 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills, which directly reduces operator effort and cycle times. The TiN coating further lowers wear when used with an appropriate cooling system, making the tool particularly suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, Tempered Cast Iron and other non-ferrous metals.

Precision, stability and guidance in every hole

A reduced overall length and a shortened overhang increase stability and reduce deflection, so holes come out more accurate on both stationary and portable machines. The fully ground shank and ground flutes ensure excellent centring and a clean chip evacuation pattern, translating to improved surface finish and repeatable hole quality. The 118° tip angle supports reliable penetration on slightly softer metals and reduces walking on curved surfaces.

Clear application range and machining recommendations

This short Twist Drill is optimised for drilling into metals such as steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Copper, Bronze and Hard Plastics. Use with a suitable Drilling Machine or a stable hand drill at the correct speed for the material; cooling is recommended for tougher alloys to maximise lifetime. The drill conforms to DIN 338, which specifies short cylindrical-shank high-speed steel drills; the ground manufacturing process (HSS-G) provides sharp cutting edges and high run-out accuracy, best exploited under rigid clamping and controlled feeds.

Who benefits and why this design matters

Workshop professionals and production technicians will appreciate the tool’s combination of precision and durability. The short geometry suits tasks requiring minimal vibration and exact hole placement, for example in jig work or when working close to edges. Because the cutter is easier to regrind than some other types, maintenance and refurbishment are straightforward, making this an economical choice for repetitive machining of medium-hard materials.
