Twist Drill — HSS‑G Metal Twist Drill, Ø 4.5 mm, 135° Tip, DIN 338, W‑style Tip

The Twist Drill for Drilling Machines is a high‑performance HSS‑G metal drill engineered for fast, low‑effort boring in alloyed and unalloyed steels and a wide range of non‑ferrous materials.

• Rapid HSS‑G cutting for faster drilling
• 135° tip for hardened steels
• Conforms to DIN 338 short twist drills
• Multi‑bevel W‑style tip for clean starts
• For use in Drilling Machines and hand drills

Engineered for faster, lower‑effort metal drilling with measurable gains

Designed for professional metalworking, the HSS‑G composition delivers high hardness and thermal stability while the specially ground geometry provides up to 40% faster drilling and requires 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. This means less operator fatigue and higher throughput on repetitive tasks. The HSS‑G material also permits straightforward regrinding, so the tool life and cost efficiency remain attractive for demanding workshop cycles.

Secure centring and clean holes in tougher materials thanks to a 135° tip

A 135° tip angle reduces the risk of walking on difficult surfaces and shortens the plunge phase when working with stainless and tempered steels. The precision ground W‑style cutting edge ensures a clean entry with minimal burr formation, producing holes with better edge quality and less need for rework. Conformance to DIN 338 classifies the tool as a short twist drill with cylindrical shank, making its performance predictable on stationary and portable drilling equipment.

Machine‑compatible design and practical dimensions for everyday use

With a nominal Diameter of 4.5 mm, Spiral Length of 47 mm and an Overall Length of 80 mm, this tool fits standard chucks and is suitable for both Drilling Machines and hand drills used in workshops and maintenance environments. The Shaft Execution is supplied with multi‑bevel cutting edge, without triangular shank, allowing secure clamping in cylindrical holders while delivering reliable chip removal. Such dimensions and form factor simplify inventory planning and ensure compatibility with common setups.

Who benefits and how to maintain peak performance

Maintenance is straightforward: the HSS‑G substrate can be re‑sharpened on standard tool grinders, restoring cutting geometry and extending service life. Target users include machinists, maintenance technicians and metal fabricators who need a resilient, easy‑handled drill for mixed materials like alloyed steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and engineering plastics. Regular inspection of cutting edges and modest cooling during prolonged runs protect tool life and optimise drilling quality.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for, and which materials suit the MetavCUT Twist Drill?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily designed for metalworking; it is used for drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and many non‑ferrous metals as well as hard plastics. Its ground geometry and HSS‑G material allow efficient, precise holes in demanding applications where speed and edge quality are important.

Which three drill types are commonly used?
Commonly distinguished drill types are: metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill family and is optimised for metalworking tasks.

For what purpose are twist drills most often used?
Twist Drills are mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger diameters. Their shape allows relatively simple regrinding and they withstand greater loads, which makes them the standard choice for through‑hole drilling in engineering applications.

Why are twist drills pointed (ground to a tip)?
Pointing a Twist Drill reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, lowering friction and thus requiring smaller feed forces; this improves centring and makes hole starts cleaner. The pointed geometry also helps to guide the drill precisely into the workpiece, reducing walking and burr formation.
