MetavCUT Profi Line Twist Drill 4.8 mm — Short HSS‑G, 135° (Type N, DIN 338, Bright Finished)

The MetavCUT Profi Line Twist Drill is a short Type N twist drill engineered for precise metal drilling, featuring a 4.8 mm diameter and a 135° point angle for demanding steel and cast applications.

• Short design for improved stability and precision
• HSS‑G ground for sharpness and clean holes
• 135° point angle for harder materials like steel
• Fully ground shank for excellent concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardized quality

Precision and Stability for Demanding Metalwork

Shorter overall length reduces overhang and therefore deflection, delivering greater positional accuracy during drilling. The short design of this twist drill, combined with a fully ground shank, results in improved stability when used in handheld or machine setups. For precision holes in metal, this geometry minimizes wander and helps achieve consistent diameters even under tougher cutting conditions.

Faster Drilling with Less Feed Force

Thanks to the HSS‑G (ground High Speed Steel) geometry, chip evacuation and cutting action are optimised, which can translate into up to 40% faster drilling and about 50% less required feed force compared to conventional HSS tools. The ground flute profile creates sharp cutting edges that require lower thrust, so less operator effort is needed and cycle times shorten when working in alloyed or unalloyed steel.

Optimised for Metal: Applications and Machine Compatibility

This Type N twist drill is primarily intended for machining Metal, including Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics. It is suitable for use in Drilling Machines as well as robust Hand Drilling Machines when stability is ensured. The combination of a 135° point angle and the normal spiral flute makes it well suited to harder workpiece materials but less ideal for very soft timbers where a dedicated wood drill would guide better.

DIN 338 and Ground Geometry — What That Means for Quality

Manufactured to DIN 338, the tool adheres to the standard for short twist drills with cylindrical shank. The ground flute production method yields very sharp edges and high runout accuracy, producing cleaner holes and improved concentricity. Note that ground HSS drills can be more brittle than rolled variants; for extended tool life use proper coolant and avoid abrupt lateral loads.
