• 118° Point Angle for improved centring
• Bright finished surface with fully ground shank
• DIN 338 compliant for reliable metalworking

Precision and Performance for Metalwork

The Twist Drill is manufactured from HSS-G, a ground high-speed steel that delivers sharp cutting edges and excellent hole quality in metal. The ground flute geometry provides high Rundlaufgenauigkeit and clean chip evacuation, which translates into faster drilling and reduced rework. According to manufacturer data, the ground HSS construction can enable up to 40% faster drilling and requires about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS variants, which benefits productivity in serial and precision tasks.

Short Design Reduces Deflection and Increases Accuracy

A shorter overall length reduces the overhang from the chuck and thus lowers bending and vibration during cutting. This short execution delivers higher stability and makes the cutter particularly suitable for precise work in harder materials such as alloyed steels and cast metals. The reduced tendency to flex improves positional accuracy and repeatability when creating critical holes on both stationary and portable drilling equipment.

Optimised Geometry and Typical Applications

The 118° point angle combined with the Type N normal spiral offers a balanced entry and reliable centring behaviour on curved surfaces. The drill is intended primarily for metal applications—including unalloyed and alloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, tempered castings, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics—where the classic Type N geometry performs best. For users less familiar with drill terminology: Type N denotes the standard spiral geometry commonly used for metal drilling; HSS-G means the flutes and tip are produced by grinding to achieve very sharp edges.

Shank, Finish and Standards for Professional Use

This short twist drill features a bright finished surface and a fully ground (geschliffen) cylindrical shank, ensuring secure clamping and precise concentricity in the chuck. Compliance with DIN 338 indicates the drill meets defined dimensions and tolerances for short cylindrical-shank twist drills in HSS. For workshop practice, ground drills often require coolant and cautious feed to avoid chipping; they are excellent for stationary machines and high-precision operations.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials suit it best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (short HSS-G Type N) is primarily used for machining high-strength workpieces and larger drilling diameters in metal; its ground form is easier to sharpen and withstands greater loads, making it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and hard plastics.

Which three drill types exist?
Common drill categories are Metal Drills (for steel and similar), Wood Drills, and Masonry/Concrete Drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal-drill category and is optimised for those applications.
