Twist Drill — Metal Twist Drill (HSS‑G), Ø 1.5 mm, 135° Tip, DIN 338, Model Spezial, Shaft without multi‑bevel cutting edge and triangular shank, Overall Length 40 mm, Spiral Length 18 mm, Brand MetavCUT

A versatile Twist Drill metal drill bit designed for drilling machines and hand drills, engineered for precise holes in a wide range of metals and technical plastics.

• HSS‑G material for high wear resistance
• 135° Tip for clean entry in hard materials
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylindrical drills
• Up to 40% faster drilling performance
• Reduced feed force by up to 50%

Maximise Speed and Reduce Effort with Advanced HSS‑G Technology

The HSS‑G composition of this twist drill delivers elevated hardness and thermal stability, which translates into faster drilling and longer tool life when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels. Thanks to the optimized geometry and the 135° Tip, initial penetration is smoother and the risk of walking is reduced, allowing for consistent centring and clean holes. This combination reduces the required feed force, making drilling less physically demanding and improving cycle times on both stationary and portable Drilling Machines.

Reliable Hole Quality for Metalworking and Technical Plastics

Designed in accordance with DIN 338, this short twist drill provides reproducible results in metals such as Steel, Cast Steel, Gusseisen and Non‑Ferrous Metals, as well as in Hard Plastics. The carefully ground tip produces grit‑free hole edges, minimising post‑processing. For craftsmen and technicians who value neat, repeatable holes, this tool reduces burr formation and supports high‑quality assembly work in workshop and production settings.

Practical Use and Compatibility with Common Machines

Engineered for use with Hand Drills and standard Drilling Machines, the Twist Drill offers straightforward handling for everyday metalworking tasks. The specified overall and spiral lengths (40 mm and 18 mm respectively) suit through‑holes and shallow blind holes up to typical depths used in mechanical assembly. Because the shaft is supplied without multi‑bevel cutting edge and triangular shank, verify machine chuck compatibility before use; METAV Werkzeuge provides expert advice to ensure the correct bit‑and‑chuck pairing.

Who Benefits Most from This Twist Drill

This drill bit is aimed at professionals and advanced hobbyists who require dependable performance in metalworking operations. Production technicians, maintenance teams and toolroom staff benefit from predictable cutting behaviour and reduced tool changes due to wear. For those specifying tools for workshop fleets, the conformity to DIN 338 simplifies standardisation and procurement decisions.

Durability, Standards and Safe Handling

The short design and the HSS‑G material ensure dimensional stability during repeated cycles, while the 135° Tip is especially suitable for tougher materials such as stainless steel. Observing appropriate cutting speeds, coolant use and clamping methods will prolong service life and maintain hole quality. For complex applications or unusual alloys, METAV Werkzeuge offers tailored technical support to define speeds, feeds and coolant strategies.

FAQ

What materials can the MetavCUT Twist Drill (metal Twist Drill) reliably machine?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill in HSS‑G is designed for machining alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics. Its material and geometry ensure wear resistance and consistent cutting performance when used with appropriate speeds and cooling.

Why are Twist Drills used and where do they perform best?
Twist Drills are primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; they are easy to resharpen and withstand significant loads. The MetavCUT Twist Drill is especially suited to metalworking tasks where clean entry and rapid drilling are required.

Which three drill types exist?
The main categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills, reflecting the principal material groups and typical cutting geometries.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the tip?
Tip sharpening reduces the cross‑edge at the point of the twist drill, lowering friction and therefore the feed force required. A properly sharpened tip also improves centring in the workpiece, resulting in more accurate and efficient drilling.
