MetavCUT Twist Drill — Extra Long HSS‑G Twist Drill, 5.5 mm, 135° Point, DIN 1869, Bright Finished

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is an extra‑long, fully ground HSS‑G drill bit designed for deep metal drilling with a 135° tip angle and bright finished surface for improved chip evacuation.

• MetavCUT Twist Drill Standard Line
• Extra‑long design for deep or hard‑to‑reach holes
• 5.5 mm Diameter with 135° Point Angle
• HSS‑G, fully ground for precise metal drilling
• DIN 1869 conformity and bright finished surface

Faster deep drilling with less feed force

The extra‑long HSS‑G geometry of this Twist Drill reduces required Anpresskraft significantly: the ground HSS design enables up to 40% faster drilling while needing about 50% less feed force than conventional HSS bits. With a Spiral Length of 180 mm and a Total Length of 260 mm the bit reaches deep positions without extensions or special holders. This efficiency translates into shorter cycle times on production jobs and less operator fatigue in workshop tasks.

Reliable performance in hard and alloyed metals

For demanding materials the combination of HSS‑G and a 135° point angle ensures stable starts and controlled cutting in Grauguss, legierten and unlegierten Stahl, Gusseisen and non‑ferrous metals. The DIN 1869 specification and the reinforced tip geometry make this bit suitable where consistent hole quality is required. When working with tougher steels the flattened tip reduces walking and shortens the Anbohrzeit, so holes are truer and require less rework.

Precision by fully ground geometry and bright finish

The Twist Drill is fully ground (HSS‑G), meaning the flutes and cutting edges are produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling. That process creates very sharp edges and high Rundlaufgenauigkeit, resulting in clean, precise bores. The bright finished surface improves chip flow and prevents rapid built‑up edge formation. Note: ground bits can be less tolerant to shock loads than rolled types, so use steady feeds and, where appropriate, coolant to extend life.

Practical use, maintenance and recommended machines

Designed for use in Drilling Machines and hand drills where deep bores are required, the bit performs best with moderate cutting speeds and sufficient lubrication or coolant on hard materials. Regrinding is possible but should respect the original 135° geometry to keep performance. This Twist Drill is aimed at professional workshops, toolrooms and maintenance departments that value accuracy in deep drilling.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily intended for drilling in high‑strength and alloyed metals; it excels when producing deep holes and is especially suited to materials such as cast iron, alloyed and unalloyed steel, sintered iron and hard plastics.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a hand drill or only in stationary machines?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in both Drilling Machines and hand drills; for the best hole quality and tool life, a stationary machine with steady feed and coolant is recommended, while portable use should avoid shock loading.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters. The form is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking operations.

Which three drill types exist?
The three common drill types are Metal drills, Wood drills and Masonry/Concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drills re‑pointed (ausgespitzt)?
Re‑pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip; by sharpening the tip the Reibkräfte are markedly lowered and less feed force is required, while the drill centers better in the workpiece.

Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with dedicated wood bits; metal drills are easier to regrind and show less self‑feeding, so the hole surface may be rougher.
