Twist Drill — HSS‑G, 6 mm Diameter, 135° Tip, Model Spezial, with Multi‑Bevel Cutting Edge and Triangular Shank, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a precision HSS‑G metal drill designed for fast, low‑force penetration in harder materials and suitable for hand drills and drilling machines.

• High-performance HSS‑G for metal drilling
• 135° tip for harder materials
• Triangular shank ensures secure clamping
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills
• Ground tip for burr‑free hole starts

Drill faster with less effort for demanding metalwork

Engineered for efficiency, the HSS‑G construction of this Twist Drill delivers notably higher cutting performance: the specially ground geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling while requiring around 50% less axial force compared with conventional HSS drills. This means less operator fatigue and shorter cycle times when working with alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel and Tempered Castings. The reduced required pressure also lowers the risk of tool deflection, so holes remain concentric and tolerances easier to maintain.

Clean entry and precise centring for high‑quality holes

Thanks to the 135° tip angle and the ground point, the Twist Drill provides a controlled start and produces holes with minimal burr formation. A larger tip angle is particularly advantageous when penetrating harder materials such as Stainless Steel because it shortens the initial bite into the workpiece and reduces chattering. Users benefit from cleaner edges that reduce or eliminate secondary deburring steps and improve the fit for subsequent fastening or reaming operations.

Robust design for portable and machine use

The combination of a multi‑bevel cutting edge and a triangular shank makes this Twist Drill versatile for both cordless Hand Drills and stationary Drilling Machines. The 3‑flat shank prevents rotation in quick‑change chucks and adapters, improving torque transmission and safety in assembly environments. For technicians who switch between workshop benches and on‑site work, this design reduces setup time and ensures consistent performance across different drill drivers.

Standards and application scope you can rely on

Manufactured to DIN 338 as a short Twist Drill and offered in the Spezial series by MetavCUT, this tool is aimed at metalworking tasks where speed and surface quality matter. It is suitable for Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals, Aluminium and many hard Plastics. The clear standardisation under DIN 338 guarantees dimensional conformity and interchangeability, which simplifies tool management and replacement in professional shops.

FAQ

What materials is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is intended primarily for metalworking and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Castings, Non‑Ferrous Metals and hard Plastics; its HSS‑G composition and ground geometry make it particularly effective where high penetration and edge quality are required.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in cordless drills?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill with its Triangular Shank is designed for efficient use in cordless Hand Drills as well as in stationary Drilling Machines; the 3‑flat shank improves clamping security and torque transmission for portable applications.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its shape allows straightforward regrinding and it withstands substantial loads during cutting.

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

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of the Twist Drill; by sharpening the point, friction forces are significantly lowered so that less feed force is necessary while the tip centres better in the workpiece.

Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal (HSS) drill such as the Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is inferior and the finish is not as clean as with dedicated wood drills; however, HSS drills are easier to regrind and have lower self‑feeding tendencies.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill the most used tool?
A solid hole is typically made with a Twist Drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most commonly used tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general belief that HSSE steels are categorically superior to standard HSS is incorrect; when choosing, consider whether the working conditions justify the higher acquisition cost of HSSE for your application.
