Twist Drill — HSS‑G extra long, 3 mm, 135° tip, bright finished, DIN 1869, fully ground by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is an extra‑long HSS‑G bit designed for deep metal drilling and tough materials, offering a 135° tip geometry for improved centring and reduced walking in demanding tasks.

• Extra‑long design for deep hole drilling
• 3 mm diameter for precise small holes
• 135° tip for hard materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground HSS‑G for high precision
• Conforms to DIN 1869 for industrial applications

Reach deeper holes with stable, reliable performance

Built for applications where standard lengths fall short, the extra‑long geometry provides extended reach without frequent tool changes. This extension reduces setup time and increases productivity when machining deep bores. The primary advantage is uninterrupted drilling in assemblies or recessed features, where access is restricted. For best results in stationary or guided setups, cooling and steady feeds are recommended to preserve tool life.

Precise cutting and centring for harder materials

The 135° tip is optimised for harder materials and reduces tendency to wander at the start of a hole. A single clear benefit is faster penetration with improved centring on metals such as alloyed steel or cast iron. The sharpened geometry means lower axial force during entry, which helps maintain hole position and reduces the risk of workpiece damage when compared with more acute tip angles.

Ground flutes (HSS‑G) for accuracy and clean holes

A fully ground HSS‑G blank delivers superior roundness and surface finish thanks to CNC grinding of the flutes and cutting lips. This manufacturing method creates very sharp edges and tight tolerances, producing clean, burr‑reduced holes in metal. For operators unfamiliar with the term: "fully ground" means the flute geometry is created by precision grinding rather than rolling, yielding higher dimensional accuracy at the cost of slightly greater brittleness.

Designed to meet industrial standards and common machine types

Conforming to DIN 1869, this bit is specified for intensive use and deep drilling conditions. It is suitable for use in a Drilling Machine and for machining a range of metals, including unalloyed and alloyed steels up to the specified limits. The combination of a 3 mm diameter and a 180 mm overall length with a 120 mm spiral provides a practical solution where deep, narrow bores are required while maintaining guidance and hole quality.

FAQ

What is the best use for the MetavCUT Twist Drill and which materials does it suit?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily designed for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; it excels in deep‑hole metalworking and maintains performance in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals.

Which three main drill types exist?
The three common drill types are metal drills, wood drills, and masonry/concrete drills, each optimised for different materials and cutting conditions; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened (re‑pointed)?
Re‑pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, which lowers friction and requires less feed force; this sharpening improves centring and cutting efficiency for the MetavCUT Twist Drill and prolongs effective performance.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used for wood?
A metal drill can be used in wood, but the MetavCUT Twist Drill will typically offer poorer guidance and a less clean finish than a dedicated wood bit; however, it is easier to resharpen and has reduced self‑feeding characteristics.
