Twist Drill — HSS‑G Metal Drill, 3.5 mm, 135° tip, DIN 338, Spezial Series (with multi‑bevel cutting edge)

The Twist Drill is a precision metalworking drill bit designed for demanding drilling tasks in alloyed and unalloyed steels and other metals, offering fast, centered starts and compatibility with standard Drilling Machines.

• High drilling speed with reduced thrust
• 135° tip for harder materials and stainless steel
• HSS‑G construction for metalworking applications
• Multi‑bevel cutting edge for clean, burr‑free holes
• Conforms to DIN 338 short spiral drill standard

High performance for fast, efficient metalworking

The HSS‑G composition and the specially ground geometry deliver notably faster drilling in a wide range of metals. Thanks to the multi‑bevel cutting edge, the tool achieves up to 40% faster progress while requiring up to 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS bits. This efficiency reduces operator effort and machine load when working in steel, cast materials, non‑ferrous metals and technical plastics. For workshop environments where throughput and repeatable results matter, this cutting tool is engineered to increase productivity.

Cleaner starts and better hole quality for tough materials

A 135° tip angle is optimised for harder workpiece materials and helps prevent wandering on entry, producing clean, burr‑reduced hole edges. The reduced cross‑cut at the point lowers friction and the need for high feed forces, which improves centring and surface finish. For users who require precise hole geometry in stainless or tempered steels, this geometry reduces rework and downstream finishing, giving consistently better end results.

Built for professional machines and demanding applications

Designed according to DIN 338 for short spiral drills with cylindrical shank, this tool is intended primarily for metalworking on rotating stationary or mobile Drilling Machines. The Spezial series execution targets workshops and mechanical engineering settings where repeatability and tool life are required. If uncertainty exists about machine compatibility or the optimal drill for a specific alloy, METAV Werkzeuge provides expert technical support and application advice to ensure the correct tool choice.

Standards, durability and practical use explained

The designation HSS‑G denotes a high‑speed steel grade suited to metal drilling; it balances wear resistance and grindability for professional use. The DIN 338 reference identifies this as a short spiral drill with cylindrical shank and clarifies manufacturing and dimensional expectations. The included shaft execution — with multi‑bevel cutting edge, without triangular shank — ensures compatibility with standard chucks and quick change holders while maintaining precise cutting action. For users less familiar with drill geometry, the 135° tip simply means better performance and less walking in harder materials.
