Twist Drill — 6.5 mm, 135° Point Angle, Extra Long, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, DIN 1869

The Twist Drill is an extra‑long HSS‑G drill designed for deep metal drilling with a 135° point angle and a bright finished, fully ground shank for high precision in demanding machining tasks.

• Extra‑long design for deep bore reach
• 6.5 mm Diameter with 235 mm Spiral Length
• 135° Point Angle for harder materials
• Fully ground (HSS‑G) for high runout accuracy
• Complies with DIN 1869 for demanding conditions

Durable HSS‑G construction for precise metalwork

The drill is made from HSS‑G, a high‑speed steel that is CNC‑ground to achieve sharp cutting edges and excellent roundness. This fully ground geometry reduces vibration and produces cleaner holes in alloys and hard materials. For users this means fewer reworks and better repeatability when machining components that require tight tolerances.

Extra‑long geometry solves deep drilling challenges

With an extra‑long overall length of 350 mm and a spiral (flute) length of 235 mm, this tool reaches deeper bore positions where standard drills cannot. The elongated design allows comfortable access in hard‑to‑reach setups and reduces the need for extensions. The 135° point angle shortens entry time in tougher steels and improves centring when starting a hole.

Performance advantages and recommended machining practice

Compared with standard HSS tools, the ground HSS design can deliver up to 40% faster drilling and requires less axial force, improving operator comfort and machine load. The Twist Drill by MetavCUT is intended primarily for drilling legiertem und unlegiertem Stahl, Gussstahl, Gusseisen, Nichteisenmetalle and hard plastics; use adequate coolant and reduced feed rates at greater depths to minimise breakage risk and extend tool life.

Who benefits and how to get support

Manufacturers, toolrooms and maintenance teams that demand long reach and high precision will find this Twist Drill particularly suitable. For stationary or machine‑based work, the bright finish and precise geometry ensure consistent hole quality.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials suit it best?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT (Twist Drill) is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; it is especially suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics thanks to its HSS‑G composition and ground geometry.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used for deep holes and what makes it suitable?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill is designed for deep bores; its extra‑long overall length and a 235 mm spiral length, combined with the DIN 1869 Tieflochspirale, make it ideal for bore depths and difficult access situations.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is primarily applied when machining high‑strength materials and large hole diameters. Its shape allows easy resharpening and the ground geometry endures substantial loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking.

Which 3 drill types are there?
Commonly distinguished drill types are: Metal drill (Metal drill), Wood drill (Wood drill), and Masonry/Concrete drill (Stone/Concrete drill).

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross‑edge at the drill tip; by pointing the Twist Drill the friction forces at the tip are substantially lowered, which requires less feed force and improves centring of the drill 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 drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill can cut wood, yet results are less clean and the tool may have more tendency to pull itself in.

For which depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A through hole in solid material is commonly 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.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general belief that HSSE steels are universally superior to HSS is incorrect. Evaluate whether your working conditions justify the higher purchase cost of HSSE; for many applications HSS‑G (ground HSS) as used in the MetavCUT Twist Drill offers an optimal balance of performance and economy.
