Twist Drill — Extra Long HSS‑G Drill for Metal, Ø 3 mm, 135° Point Angle, Bright Finished

The Twist Drill is an extra‑long HSS‑G drill designed for deep, precise metal drilling with a 3 mm Diameter and a 135° Point Angle, suitable for use in a Drilling Machine or Hand Drill.

• Extra‑long design for deep hole access
• CNC ground flutes for precise hole quality
• HSS‑G material for high strength and wear resistance
• 135° Point Angle for harder materials like Stainless Steel
• Fully ground shank for accurate centring and low runout

Deep reach and reliable hole quality for demanding metalwork

The extra‑long geometry with a Total Length of 150 mm and a Spiral Length of 100 mm enables access to deep or hard‑to‑reach bore locations where standard drills fail. Thanks to the HSS‑G ground construction and DIN 1869 specification, the drill produces clean, accurate holes in metal components. This design reduces the need for extension tooling and keeps setups simpler, so drilling operations remain efficient even in confined assemblies.

Faster cutting with lower feed force on tough materials

A CNC‑ground flute geometry delivers a sharper cutting edge and higher concentricity compared with rolled variants, enabling up to 40% faster drilling and about 50% less required feed force under comparable conditions. The 135° Point Angle is optimised for harder materials, shortening the initial entry time and improving centring when starting a bore in materials such as alloyed steel, grey cast iron and sintered parts. Use with appropriate coolant to maximise tool life.

Compatibility, handling and practical machining tips

The bright finished surface and fully ground shank ensure stable clamping in standard drill chucks and machine spindles. For best results with the Twist Drill, select moderate cutting speeds for small diameters in high‑strength steels, apply steady coolant or lubricant, and avoid abrupt lateral loads to reduce breakage risk. The tool is suited for both stationary machine use and robust portable drilling where deep bores are required.

Who benefits most from this twist drill

Metalworkers, maintenance technicians and toolroom specialists who perform precision deep drilling will value the combination of extra‑long reach and HSS‑G edge performance. The drill is particularly helpful when producing through‑holes or deep blind holes in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and hard plastics where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are priorities.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger bore diameters; it is especially suited to deep holes and applications requiring a drill that can be resharpened. Its ground geometry makes it robust for Alloyed and Unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Grey Cast Iron, Sintered Iron and Hard Plastics while maintaining good hole quality.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three main drill categories commonly used: Metal drills (such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill), Wood drills, and Stone/Concrete drills designed for masonry work.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the drill tip and lowers friction; a sharpened point significantly decreases required feed forces and improves centring accuracy when beginning a bore.

Can a metal drill be used to drill wood?
A metal drill like the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but it typically offers poorer guidance and a less clean finish compared with a dedicated wood drill. Metal drills are easier to resharpen and tend to have lower self‑feeding characteristics.

At what bore depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A Twist Drill is often used for solid drilling where a cylindrical hole is produced by cutting. For diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill remains the most frequently applied tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The common assumption that HSSE steels are categorically superior to conventional HSS is not universally correct. Decide based on specific working conditions and whether the performance benefits justify a higher purchase cost.
