Twist Drill – HSS‑G, Ø 3.2 mm, 135° Tip, Extra Long, Bright Finished (for Drilling Machine), DIN 1869

The Twist Drill is an extra‑long HSS‑G drill for Drilling Machines, engineered for deep metal drilling and precise hole creation in demanding workshop and industrial applications.

• Extra‑long design for deep metal holes
• 135° tip for hardened and stainless steels
• HSS‑G fully ground for precise, clean holes
• Conforms to DIN 1869 for dependable results
• Bright finished shank with excellent runout accuracy

High performance for deep and demanding metal drilling

Designed to deliver measurable efficiency gains, this HSS‑G Twist Drill combines Extra Long geometry with a 135° Tip to reduce start wandering and to penetrate harder materials more reliably. The ground spiral geometry lowers feed forces, enabling faster spindle advance and improved chip evacuation for deep holes. As a result, users experience reduced cycle times and less tool chatter when machining legierte and unlegierte steels, cast steels and harder alloys.

Precision manufacturing and what it means for workshop use

Because the flute geometry is produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling, the Fully Ground shank and flutes offer sharp cutting edges and superior concentricity. This manufacturing method yields cleaner Holes and better surface finish, especially in metalworking. Note that ground HSS tools can be more brittle than rolled equivalents; applying appropriate coolant and avoiding excessive pecking without lubrication helps to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.

Suited materials and practical application scenarios

This Twist Drill is intended primarily for metalworking: Grauguss, legierte and unlegierte Steel up to 1000 N/mm², Gusseisen, non‑ferrous Metals and hard Plastics are appropriate workpieces. Its Deep Hole capability makes it a solid choice for toolrooms, maintenance departments and production lines where through‑holes and blind holes with extended depth are required. For portable or stationary Drilling Machines, the extra overall length supports access to recessed areas without sacrificing Hole quality.

Tips for selection, handling and storage to maximise life

Select the Diameter and the Extra Long variant when hole depth exceeds standard tool reach; shorter drills are still preferable for small blind depths to reduce deflection. Start with a pilot or centre drill for improved centring when working with stainless or hardened materials. Store Twist Drills in a dry, protected rack to prevent edge damage; regrinding is feasible for HSS‑G tools, restoring cutting geometry while preserving the tool blank for further use.

FAQ

What is the primary use of a Twist Drill?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; its design suits deep drilling and tasks where the tool must withstand higher mechanical loads, offering good suitability for steels, cast irons and hard plastics.

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

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the point?
Sharpening reduces the cross‑edge at the tip, which lowers friction and required feed force and improves centring in the workpiece; the MetavCUT Twist Drill benefits from this by achieving more accurate starts and less walking.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill can be used in wood, but the MetavCUT metal drill will usually produce less precise guidance and a rougher finish than a dedicated wood bit; the advantage lies in easier resharpening and lower self‑feeding tendency.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most used?
For solid drilling operations up to diameters around 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most commonly used tool; the MetavCUT Extra Long variant is specifically intended where deeper access or extended working length is required.

Is HSS or HSSE better for these applications?
The general assumption that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not universally correct; evaluate working conditions carefully to determine whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified for the intended MetavCUT Twist Drill application.
