Twist Drill — Drill for Metal, Diameter 2 mm, 135° Point Angle, Extra Long, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, DIN 1869, Fully Ground Shank (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill is an extra‑long Drilling Machine bit for metal, designed for deep, precise holes in steel, cast parts and hard plastics.

• Extra‑long design for deep, hard‑to‑reach holes
• HSS‑G material for precise, clean metal drilling
• 135° point angle optimised for harder workpieces
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity and accuracy
• Conforms to DIN 1869 for deep‑hole performance

Deep holes with reliable precision

The extra‑long design delivers a clear benefit when access is limited or when drilling deep bores: longer working length reduces the need for extensions and maintains tool stability. Made from HSS‑G, this bit provides high edge sharpness and excellent runout characteristics thanks to CNC grinding of the flutes. For users who require consistent hole geometry in metalworking, the fully ground geometry ensures cleaner chips and a more accurate finish compared with rolled alternatives.

Faster cutting with less force

Thanks to the ground spiral and optimized geometry, the tool drills when less axial force is applied, improving operator comfort and machine load. The use of HSS‑G enables up to 40% faster penetration in many steels and reduces required feed force by roughly 50% compared with conventional HSS bits. This means shorter cycle times in production and fewer stalled starts when working in alloys, sintered materials and non‑ferrous metals.

Suited for demanding materials and tough conditions

The 135° point angle is chosen specifically for harder materials such as stainless steel and tempered alloys; a larger point angle shortens the initial bite and improves centring on difficult surfaces. The tool’s geometry and the DIN 1869 specification make it particularly appropriate for deep drilling under adverse conditions, including cast iron and higher strength steels up to 1000 N/mm². When used with appropriate cooling, the drill maintains edge life and hole quality in industrial environments.

Practical benefits for workshops and professionals

This Twist Drill is ideal for machinists, maintenance technicians and toolroom staff who demand precise, repeatable holes without frequent regrinding. The fully ground shank supports accurate chucking and improved concentricity on hand and bench Drilling Machines, while the bright finished surface simplifies inspection and handling. For repeat operations, this bit reduces rework and scrap by delivering predictable chips and hole diameters.

How the technology works — explained simply

Grinding the flutes rather than rolling them creates sharper cutting edges and tighter tolerances. In practice, a fully ground HSS bit produces cleaner bore walls and better centring; the trade‑off is slightly higher brittleness, so cooling and steady clamping are recommended. The term DIN 1869 denotes the standard for deep‑hole twist drills and signals that the geometry is designed to evacuate chips reliably over long axial distances.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials suit it best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill for Metal is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; its extra‑long form is designed for deep holes and locations that are hard to reach. The HSS‑G construction and ground spiral make it suitable for legated and unlegated steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics.

Which three main drill types exist?
In general the main categories are metal drills, wood drills, and masonry/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for metalworking tasks.

Why are Twist Drills pointed and what does that achieve?
The point geometry reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, lowering friction and therefore the required feed force. By re‑sharpening or pointing the MetavCUT Twist Drill the cutting action improves, centring becomes better and drilling starts more reliably in the workpiece.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used for wood?
A metal drill like the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, however guidance and finish are reduced compared with purpose‑made wood bits. The result is less precise hole edge quality and guidance, but easier resharpening and lower self‑feed tendency.

For which drill depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
The extra‑long Twist Drill is the preferred tool for through holes and deep bores. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm a twist drill is the most frequently used tool in metalworking.
