Twist Drill — HSS-G Twist Drill, 5 mm, 135° tip, Extra Long, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank, DIN 1869

The Twist Drill is an extra long HSS-G drill for Drilling Machines, engineered for deep metal drilling and precision holes in demanding workshop applications.

• Extra long design for deep drilling
• HSS-G ground geometry for precise holes
• 135° tip angle for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• Conforms to DIN 1869 for deep-hole applications

Engineered for deep metal drilling and higher throughput

The Twist Drill is manufactured in HSS-G quality and designed as an extra long tool to reach deeper bore depths than standard bits. This geometry reduces the need for extensions or multi-step drilling, enabling efficient processing of metal components. The combination of ground flute geometry and optimized point form results in up to 40% faster drilling and requires about 50% less feed force, which directly increases productivity and reduces operator fatigue.

Precise cutting geometry for tough materials

With a 135° tip angle and CNC-ground flutes, this HSS-G bit is tailored to start cleanly in harder materials and maintain concentricity during the cut. The fully ground shank and sharp cutting edges provide excellent runout accuracy and produce clean, burr-reduced holes. Conformance to DIN 1869 signals suitability for deep-hole tasks and use in alloyed and unalloyed steels, grey cast iron, sintered materials and hard plastics when appropriate coolant and speeds are used.

Compatibility with drilling machines and usage recommendations

Designed for use in a Drilling Machine, the bright finished surface and ground shank simplify clamping and alignment. Due to the grinding process (HSS-G), the tool can be more brittle than rolled types; therefore stationary drilling or proper clamping with coolant is recommended to avoid breakage. Operators will benefit from the bit’s behavior under load: reduced thrust makes handling easier and improves hole quality in serial or repair work.

Ideal users and application contexts

Metalworking professionals, maintenance technicians and toolroom operators will find this drill especially useful where deep, precise holes in metal are required. The Standard Line model series targets workshops that need reliable, repeatable performance rather than single-use convenience. The extra length and HSS-G construction make it a practical choice for repair jobs, pattern making and production tasks where access is limited.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill from MetavCUT best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is intended primarily for deep-hole drilling and the machining of high-strength and difficult-to-cut metals; it excels in tasks requiring long reach and consistent hole quality under workshop conditions.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a handheld drill?
While the MetavCUT Twist Drill can physically be clamped in portable equipment, its HSS-G ground construction and extra length make it best suited to stable Drilling Machines or well-supported setups to minimize the risk of breakage.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied for machining high-strength materials and large bore diameters. Its shape is easy to grind and withstands higher loads.

Which three drill types exist?
The three primary drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.

Why are twist drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross-cutting edge at the tip of the Twist Drill. By pointing, friction forces are significantly decreased and lower feed forces are required, while the drill tip centers more precisely in the workpiece.

Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill can be used in wood but typically provides inferior guidance and a less clean finish than dedicated wood drills. Metal bits are easier to resharpen and have less self-feed tendency.

At which depths is the Twist Drill the most used tool?
Solid drilling with a Twist Drill is common. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general belief that HSSE steels are always superior to HSS is incorrect. Evaluate working conditions carefully to determine whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified.
