Twist Drill — Drill for Drilling Machine, Ø 4.2 mm, 135°, HSS‑G, Extra‑Long, Bright Finished, DIN 1869 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill is an extra‑long HSS‑G drill for deep metal holes, designed for use in Drilling Machines and industrial applications.

• Extra‑long design for deep hole drilling
• HSS‑G material for high cutting performance
• 135° point angle for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• Complies with DIN 1869 for deep‑hole applications

Precision and power for deep metal drilling

The Twist Drill from MetavCUT is engineered as an extra‑long HSS‑G bit to reach depths that standard drills cannot. The 135° point angle reduces walking on hard materials and shortens the initial penetration time, which is especially valuable when drilling thicker plates or components made from stainless or alloyed steels. Compliance with DIN 1869 guarantees a geometry and spiral design optimised for demanding, deep‑hole applications, providing consistent results in production and workshop use.

Faster machining with a ground geometry

A fully ground (HSS‑G) spiral geometry yields very sharp cutting edges and excellent run‑out precision. The CNC grinding process produces a stable flute profile and clean bore surfaces; as a result, the MetavCUT bit can deliver up to 40% faster drilling and requires significantly less axial pressure compared with conventional rolled HSS drills. This translates into reduced operator fatigue and improved cycle times when used with appropriate coolant and steady fixturing.

Materials and suitable applications

This drill is specified for metalworking: it is suitable for legierte und unlegierte Stähle, Gray Cast Iron, Brass, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics within the recommended hardness limits. The extra‑long overall and working lengths make it ideal where through‑holes or deep blind holes are required and where access is limited. Use it in Drilling Machines and machine tool set‑ups that provide stable clamping and coolant flow to extend life and maintain hole quality.

Handling recommendations and support

For best results, secure the workpiece and use steady feed rates tailored to the material. Because ground HSS bits can be more brittle than rolled variants, avoid shock loads and always apply suitable cooling for long drilling operations. If uncertain about feeds, speeds or the correct bit for a specific alloy or thickness, METAV Werkzeuge offers comprehensive technical support and advice. Their experienced team will help choose the right tooling and operating parameters for the application.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is used primarily for drilling in metal; it is designed for deep holes and for machining high‑strength and hard materials where an extra‑long working length is required. The geometry and HSS‑G material suit alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast irons and other non‑ferrous metals.

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 machining metallic materials.

Why are Twist Drills point‑ground?
Point grinding reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, lowering friction and required feed force. For the MetavCUT Twist Drill a ground tip improves centring and reduces radial run‑out, which results in cleaner holes and more consistent drilling under load.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used in wood?
A metal Twist Drill like the MetavCUT bit can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior to purpose‑made wood drills. Metal drills are easier to re‑grind and have less aggressive self‑feed, so hole quality and tracking may be reduced in timber.
