Twist Drill – Drill Bit for Metal, 2 mm, 135° Point Angle, HSS‑G, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a precision metalworking drill bit designed for drilling machines and hand drills, offering a 2 mm diameter, 135° point angle and HSS‑G construction for reliable, fast metal drilling.

• Twist Drill 2 mm for metal
• 135° Point Angle for harder materials
• HSS‑G for high wear resistance
• Conforms to DIN 338 standard
• Up to 40% faster drilling with less force

Exceptional Durability from HSS‑G Construction

The Twist Drill is made from HSS‑G (High Speed Steel with enhanced grinding), which provides improved wear resistance and thermal stability compared with standard HSS. This material choice reduces tool wear during repeated metal drilling operations and extends service life, so fewer replacements are needed. The robust construction is particularly advantageous when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels and non‑ferrous metals.

Faster, Cleaner Holes with a 135° Point

A 135° point angle optimises entry into harder materials by reducing chipping and improving centering on stainless steels and hardened surfaces. The specially ground tip ensures clean starting and produces holes with reduced burr formation. According to the product specification, the design enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires significantly less feed force, which makes bench and portable drilling more efficient and reduces operator fatigue.

Designed for Metalworking and Versatile Use

This Twist Drill is intended primarily as a Drill for Metal, suitable for cast iron, steels, aluminium and certain plastics. The geometry and material mean it also performs acceptably in mixed‑material workshops where quick tool changes and reliable centring are required. For cordless or portable applications, check shank compatibility on your Drilling Machine before use; if in doubt, METAV Werkzeuge offers expert guidance to select the right bit for the power tool.

Standards, Dimensions and Practical Details

Manufactured to DIN 338 for short twist drills with cylindrical shank, the bit measures 2 mm in diameter with a total length of 49 mm and a spiral (cutting) length of 24 mm. The provided shank execution information indicates the absence of a multi‑bevel W‑point and a triangular shank variant, so users should verify chuck compatibility on their equipment before use. These specifications support predictable performance in production and workshop settings where reproducible hole quality is required.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials does it suit?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily a Drill for Metal and is used for machining alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics; its geometry and HSS‑G material make it suitable for workshop and machine shop applications where clean, precise holes are required.

Which three main drill types exist?
Common drill categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill falls into the Metal drill category and is optimised for metalworking.

Why are Twist Drills point‑sharpened?
The tip sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the drill tip, which lowers friction and therefore requires less feed force; the sharpened point of the MetavCUT Twist Drill also improves centring and reduces walking on the workpiece.

Can a Twist Drill be used for wood?
A Metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in Wood but will typically give poorer guidance and a less clean finish compared with dedicated wood drills; metal drills are easier to regrind and have less self‑feeding tendency.

For which hole depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
Twist Drills are typically used for drilling through solid material; for diameters up to around 20 mm and drilling depths up to approximately 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most common tool for such operations.

Is HSS or HSSE better?
The widespread assumption that HSSE is universally superior to HSS is incorrect; the choice depends on working conditions and cost justification — evaluate whether the specific operating environment warrants the higher investment before choosing HSSE over HSS.
