Twist Drill (Twist Drill) – Ø 7 mm · 135° tip · HSS‑G · DIN 338 · with W‑point and triangular shank · Model: Spezial · Brand: MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is a precision metal‑drilling tool for handheld and machine use, designed to deliver fast, centred holes in steels, non‑ferrous metals and engineering plastics.

• Rapid drilling performance with HSS‑G material
• 135° tip for cleaner entry in hard materials
• Triangular shank for secure grip in cordless drills
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills
• Special W‑point grind reduces required feed force

Faster, cleaner holes in demanding materials

The Twist Drill made from HSS‑G combines high cutting speed with good wear resistance, so drilling progress is noticeably quicker than with conventional HSS drills. The 135° tip angle is optimised for harder workpieces such as stainless steel and other tough alloys, meaning reduced wandering at the start and cleaner hole edges. For users this translates into less rework and more precise bores even under repetitive use.

Efficient power transfer and easy handling with handheld tools

The design with a triangular shank ensures a positive fit in chucks and quick torque transmission, ideal for use with a Drilling Machine or cordless hand drills. The integrated W‑point (multi‑bevel cutting edge) improves centring and reduces the required axial force, so less effort is needed during operation and the risk of drill deflection is lower. Professionals benefit from faster cycle times and safer handling on the job.

Application range and target users

This Spezial series Twist Drill is intended primarily for metalworking: alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. It is therefore particularly suitable for workshop technicians, toolmakers and maintenance teams who need a reliable general‑purpose metal drill. The robust geometry also makes it useful for occasional work in aluminium and wood where a durable, resharpenable drill is preferred.

Standards, maintenance and technical advantages

Manufactured to DIN 338, the short twist drill geometry ensures compatibility with industry expectations for short HSS drills with cylindrical or polygonal shanks. The HSS‑G substrate allows resharpening without significant loss of accuracy, extending tool life when compared to coated disposable types. A correctly reground W‑point preserves centring and chip evacuation, reducing heat build‑up and helping to maintain hole quality over repeated sharpening cycles.

FAQ

What materials can the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Twist Drill) be used on?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is designed for metalworking and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals, aluminium and hard plastics; its geometry and HSS‑G material also allow occasional use in wood where a resharpenable metal drill is acceptable.

What are the three main drill types?
The three main drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills, each optimised in geometry and material for the specific substrate and cutting conditions.
