MetavCUT Twist Drill — HSS‑G Twist Drill (Ø 1 mm, 135° tip, DIN 338, Spezial series, Shaft execution: without W‑tip and 3‑Kantschaft)

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a precision HSS‑G drill for metalworking, designed for fast, clean holes in a variety of engineering materials and suitable for use with drilling machines and handheld drills.

• Fast drilling: up to 40% quicker with ground HSS
• Lower feed force: needs 50% less pressure during drilling
• Optimised for alloyed and unalloyed steels
• 135° tip angle for harder materials and stainless steel

Increased productivity through optimised HSS‑G geometry

Ground on a precision profile, the bit delivers notably higher advance rates. The specially ground HSS‑G geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling while requiring 50% less feed force, which reduces operator fatigue and speeds up repetitive tasks. This advantage means fewer tool changes and more efficient cycle times in workshop and production environments.

Clean, centred holes even in tough materials

A 135° point angle reduces walking and improves centring on hard materials such as stainless steel. In practice, this leads to cleaner hole edges and fewer burrs, so secondary deburring work is minimised. Compliance with DIN 338 ensures the short twist‑drill dimensions and tolerances expected in metalworking applications, providing predictable, repeatable results.

Versatile application across common engineering materials

Designed for demanding jobs, the bit is suitable for legioned and unlegioned steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non‑ferrous metals, hard plastics and aluminium. When paired with an appropriate drilling machine and cutting parameters, the tool enables reliable metal removal and consistent hole quality for maintenance, fabrication and mechanical workshops.

• Axite enrichment: Der geschliffene HSS Bohrer ermöglicht ein bis zu 40 % schnelleres Bohren und benötigt dabei 50 % weniger Anpresskraft als herkömmliche aus HSS gefertigte Bohrer. Er eignet sich besonders zum Bohren in legierten und unlegierten Stahl, Gussstahl, Gusseisen, Sintereisen, Temperguss, Nichteisenmetalle und Hartkunststoff. DIN 338: Die Norm DIN 338 dient der Klassifizierung kurzer Spiralbohrer mit Zylinderschaft aus Schnellarbeitsstahl. In der Norm werden die verschiedenen Ausführungen und Herstellungsverfahren näher definiert. Der kurze Spiralbohrer mit Zylinderschaft kann rollgewalzt oder geschliffen gefertigt sein. Anwendungsgebiet dieses Bohrers ist hauptsächlich die Bearbeitung von Metall an drehenden stationären oder beweglichen Werkzeugmaschinen. Es gibt unterschiedliche Ausführungen, Oberflächenbehandlungen und Durchmesser des Spiralbohrers nach der Norm DIN 338. Die Norm DIN 338 definiert „kurze Spiralbohrer mit Zylinderschaft“ aus HSS usw. – genau so steht es in den Herstellerinfos: DIN 338 beschreibt kurze Spiralbohrer mit Zylinderschaft. Der HSSG Spiralbohrer „Rapid„ ist ein Garant für schnelle und präzise Bohrungen in Stahl, Eisen, Buntmetalle, Aluminium, Kunststoffe und Holz. Die speziell angeschliffene Bohrspitze sorgt für sauberes Anbohren und erzielt dadurch Bohrungen mit gratfreien Lochrändern bei schnellem Bohrfortschritt. Durch den 3 Kant Schaft ist der Rapid Bohrer ideal für effizientes Arbeiten mit Akkubohrmaschinen geeignet. Der Spitzenwinkel eines Bohrers: bestimmt, wie leicht er sich in ein Werkstück eindringt und ist je nach Material anzupassen. Spitzenwinkel 135° für härtere Werkstoffe wie Edelstahl. ein größerer Winkel die Anbohrzeit verkürzen kann.

FAQ

What materials can the MetavCUT Twist Drill cut effectively?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is designed for a broad range of engineering materials; it performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steels, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non‑ferrous metals, aluminium and hard plastics when used with correct cutting data and a suitable drilling machine.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a handheld drilling machine?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill is suitable for use with drilling machines and handheld drills provided the machine can be set to recommended speeds and feeds for the 1 mm diameter and chosen workpiece material.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters. This design is easy to regrind and withstands high loads.

Which three drill types exist?
The three main drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of the Twist Drill. By pointing, friction is significantly reduced so lower feed forces are required and the tip centres better in the workpiece.

Can you use a Twist Drill to drill wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is poorer and the result is less clean. Metal drills are easier to resharpen and have lower self‑feeding tendency.
