Twist Drill — HSS-G Twist Drill (Diameter 1.5 mm | Point Angle 118° | Long | Bright-Finished | Fully Ground | DIN 340) — MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is a long HSS-G drill bit for drilling machines, optimised for deep, precise metal drilling and reliable centring in softer metals.

• Long design for deep or hard-to-reach holes
• HSS-G Fully Ground for precise metal drilling
• 1.5 mm diameter for fine, accurate boreholes
• 118° point angle for easier centring in softer metals
• Conforms to DIN 340 for standardised performance

Faster, cleaner holes thanks to HSS-G and fully ground geometry

The HSS-G material and the Fully Ground flute geometry deliver measurable performance advantages for metalworking. Ground flutes created by CNC grinding produce very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, which results in cleaner bore surfaces and reduced deviation. According to material data, this design can enable up to 40% faster drilling and requires roughly 50% less feed force compared with conventional rolled HSS drills, so users benefit from higher throughput and less operator fatigue in repetitive tasks.

Reach deeper and work in confined spaces with the long version

The long execution (DIN 340 style) of this Twist Drill provides extended Spiral Length and Overall Length for deeper bores or when the hole lies recessed. With a Spiral Length of 45 mm and Overall Length of 70 mm, this bit is designed to access internal or hard-to-reach positions where a standard-length bit would be too short. This makes it particularly useful for workshop tasks, maintenance jobs and component assembly where extended reach is required while maintaining drill stability.

Better centring and controlled entry thanks to the 118° point

A Point Angle of 118° is well suited to softer metals and many non-ferrous materials, offering a compromise between cutting aggression and centring behaviour. The geometry reduces the tendency to wander on curved or uneven surfaces and improves initial positioning without excessive burr formation. For customers unfamiliar with drilling geometry: a larger Point Angle spreads the cutting action, while a smaller angle aids centring on rounded parts — 118° is often chosen for general metalwork and for easier start in aluminium and similar materials.

Built for metalworking professionals and versatile applications

This Twist Drill from MetavCUT is engineered for drilling machines and is primarily intended for metalworking tasks. It is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast and temper steels, grey and spheroidal cast irons, sintered iron, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics. The Bright-Finished surface aids corrosion resistance and handling, while the Fully Ground shank supports precise clamping and minimal runout. Note that ground HSS can be more brittle than rolled types, so the bit performs best under controlled feed and with appropriate cooling on stationary or machine setups.

FAQ

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a hand drilling machine?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is suitable for use in a drilling machine; however, because the HSS-G Fully Ground geometry can be more brittle than rolled types, it performs best in a stable drilling setup or with controlled feed and appropriate cooling when used in portable applications.

Is cooling necessary for the MetavCUT Twist Drill when drilling steel?
When using the MetavCUT Twist Drill in steel or other hard materials, applying coolant or cutting fluid is recommended to extend tool life and maintain cutting performance for this HSS-G Twist Drill.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high-strength materials and larger drill diameters. The form is easy to regrind and can withstand greater loads. The MetavCUT Twist Drill is therefore used especially for deep holes and demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types are there?
The three main drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. For metalworking tasks the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The point sharpening reduces the cross-cut at the tip of the Twist Drill. By pointing the tip, friction forces are significantly reduced so lower feed forces are required and the drill tip centres more accurately in the workpiece.

Can you use a metal Twist Drill for wood?
A metal Twist Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but it offers poorer guidance and a less clean finish compared with dedicated wood drills. Metal drills are easier to regrind and have lower self-feeding tendency.
