Twist Drill — HSS‑G Twist Drill, Ø 13 mm, 135° tip, Extra Long, Bright Finished (DIN 1869), Fully Ground Shank

The Twist Drill is an extra‑long HSS‑G metal drill designed for deep, precise drilling in dense materials and for use with drilling machines.

• Extra‑long design for deep hole access
• HSS‑G material for high cutting performance
• 135° tip angle optimised for hard metals
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• Conforms to DIN 1869 for deep‑hole drilling

Exceptional metal cutting performance for demanding tasks

The Twist Drill combines HSS‑G construction with an extra‑long geometry to tackle deep or hard‑to‑reach holes. The ground high‑speed steel body delivers up to 40% faster drilling and requires 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS bits, making the tool efficient on alloyed and unalloyed steels. This results in reduced operator effort and more consistent cycle times when machining durable materials.

Geometry and finish that ensure precise, clean holes

A fully ground flute geometry creates very sharp cutting edges and superior runout accuracy, producing cleaner, more concentric bores in metal. The 135° tip angle reduces entry forces and improves centring in harder workpieces, while the bright finished surface supports smooth chip evacuation. Note that ground drills can be more brittle than rolled types; therefore, stationary use and appropriate cooling are recommended for maximum service life.

Designed for deep drilling in a wide range of metals

Engineered under DIN 1869 with a spiral length of 260 mm and an overall length of 375 mm, this twist drill is especially suitable for deep holes in cast iron, cast steel, sintered iron, tempered cast materials, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The tool is intended for use in drilling machines where depth and stability are required, delivering reliable performance in professional metalworking and industrial repair tasks.

Practical guidance for safe and efficient operation

Because the flutes are CNC ground, regrinding and sharpening are straightforward, allowing maintenance of cutting geometry over time. Use steady feed, controlled speeds adapted to the material and consistent coolant to avoid thermal damage; this is particularly important for extra‑long HSS‑G drills, which can be more susceptible to breakage under improper conditions. For operations requiring high repeatability, mounting in rigid fixtures and using machine guidance is advisable.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (HSS‑G metal drill) is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and for drilling larger diameters; its extra‑long geometry is intended for deep hole applications that require extended reach and penetration.

Which three drill types exist?
Common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for use in metalworking environments.

Why are twist drills sharpened at the tip?
The tip sharpening on a MetavCUT Twist Drill reduces the cross‑edge at the point, significantly lowering friction and required feed force while improving centring of the tip in the workpiece for more accurate starts.

Can a metal twist drill be used to drill wood?
A metal twist drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is inferior and hole finish may be rougher; however, these drills are easier to resharpen and exhibit lower self‑feeding tendency compared with specialised wood drills.

For which hole depths is the twist drill most commonly used?
A through‑hole in solid material is typically executed with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the twist drill is the most frequently used tool—this MetavCUT extra‑long variant extends that capability for deeper bores.

Is HSS or HSSE better?
The general belief that HSSE steels are categorically superior to HSS is not universally correct; selection between HSS and HSSE should be based on the specific working conditions and whether those conditions justify the higher acquisition cost.
