Introducing Twist Drill — MetavCUT Profi Line short HSS‑G Type N, 7.1 mm, 135° (bright finished)

The Twist Drill is a short HSS‑G Type N drill designed for precise metal drilling, offering improved stability and fast cutting in demanding workshop and industrial applications.

• Short design for increased stability and precision
• HSS‑G ground geometry for sharper cutting edges
• 135° point angle tailored for hard metals and stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for excellent runout accuracy
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylinder‑shank twist drills

Engineered for faster, more stable metal cutting

The Profi Line short Twist Drill combines a short length with a ground HSS geometry to reduce vibration and deflection during drilling. This design means higher stability and a lower tendency to wander, so holes remain concentric and true. The ground HSS (HSS‑G) material produces very sharp cutting edges that can achieve up to 40% faster drilling while requiring around 50% less feed force versus conventional HSS drills, which is especially advantageous when machining tougher alloys or thicker sections.

Geometry that adapts to hard materials and reduces set‑up time

A 135° point angle reduces the tendency to rub at the tip and shortens penetration time in hard materials such as stainless steel. The Type N normal spiral provides a balanced flute geometry that evacuates chips reliably while maintaining cutting stability. The fully ground flutes and shank ensure high runout accuracy, which simplifies set‑up on both stationary drill presses and portable drilling machines and results in cleaner, more precise holes.

Designed for professional workshops and demanding applications

This short Twist Drill suits machinists, toolroom technicians and maintenance teams who require repeatable accuracy on metal components. Its shorter overhang minimises bending moments, making it ideal for precision work in confined fixtures or jigs. The drill is primarily intended for metalworking tasks including alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics.

Practical handling, grinding and cooling recommendations

Because the HSS‑G ground variant favours sharpness and accuracy, it can be more brittle than rolled alternatives; appropriate coolant and moderate feed rates are recommended for prolonged tool life. Ground flutes allow straightforward re‑grinding when required, so maintenance is simple in a well‑equipped workshop. Use steady clamping and, for best results, prefer machine drilling where coolant and rigid fixturing are available to exploit the drill’s full performance.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills such as the MetavCUT Profi Line short Twist Drill are primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; their ground form is easy to re‑sharpen and can withstand higher loads, making them a reliable choice for metalworking applications.

Which three drill types exist?
The main categories are metal drills (for steel and alloys), wood drills (for timber and similar materials), and stone/concrete drills (for masonry and concrete).
