Twist Drill — HSS-G Twist Drill (Diameter 4.1 mm, 135° Point, Long, Bright Finished)

The Twist Drill is a long HSS-G drill bit designed for deep metal drilling and tight access areas, suitable for use with hand and drilling machines and compliant with DIN 340.

• Long HSS-G design for deep holes
• 4.1 mm Diameter for precise pilot holes
• 135° point angle for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• DIN 340 long series with bright finish

Power and Precision for Demanding Metalwork

The Twist Drill from MetavCUT combines the wear resistance of HSS-G with a 135° point geometry to tackle harder alloys with improved centring. The ground flute geometry delivers sharp cutting edges and consistent chip evacuation, which reduces cutting forces and increases hole quality. For operations in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and hard plastics, this design ensures a reliable, repeatable machining result and reduces the need for rework.

Reach Deeper: Long Version for Difficult Access

Engineered as a long execution according to DIN 340, this drill offers extended overall length and working spiral length to access recessed or hard-to-reach bore sites. The longer geometry makes it ideal for drilling deeper holes without switching tools. The bright finished surface helps to reduce friction and improves visibility of the cutting zone, while the fully ground shaft provides superior runout accuracy for straight, precise holes even when used in hand-held drilling setups.

Best Materials and Typical Applications

This Twist Drill is particularly suited to drilling operations in legierte und unlegierte Stähle (alloyed and unalloyed steel), Gussstahl, Gusseisen, Sintereisen, Nichteisenmetalle and hard engineering plastics. The combination of HSS-G material and the 135° tip reduces chipping and improves entry in tougher substrates. When used as intended, users benefit from cleaner hole walls and maintained dimensional accuracy, which simplifies subsequent assembly or finishing steps.

Handling Tips for Reliable Results

To preserve tool life and maintain performance, use moderate feed with adequate coolant when machining harder materials; the ground geometry can be more brittle than rolled alternatives and benefits from controlled cutting conditions. For best centring and lower heat build-up, start with a suitable pilot where possible and ensure the drill is clamped with minimal runout. The fully ground shaft enhances chuck performance and reduces vibration, supporting consistent hole quality in both production and workshop environments.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill primarily used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is mainly applied for machining high-strength materials and larger bore diameters; its long version suits deeper holes and less accessible locations while the ground geometry allows faster drilling with lower applied feed force.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used with a hand drilling machine?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill is suitable for use with a Handbohrmaschine (drilling machine); its fully ground shaft improves chuck grip and runout accuracy, making it appropriate for both stationary and careful hand-held applications when correct speeds and cooling are observed.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is primarily applied when machining high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; this form is easy to resharpen and withstands higher loads.

Which three drill types are there?
Metal drill, Wood drill, Stone/Concrete drill.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The pointing reduces the cross edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, which significantly lowers friction forces and requires reduced feed force; pointing also improves centring of the drill tip in the workpiece.

Can you drill wood with a Twist Drill?
A metal drill can also be used in wood, but guidance and surface quality are inferior; however, such drills are easier to resharpen and usually have less self-feed tendency.

At what drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
Solid drilling with a Twist Drill is common; 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 always superior to standard HSS is not correct; evaluate working conditions carefully to determine whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified for your application.
