Twist Drill Spezial – 8 mm, 135° point, HSS‑G, DIN 338, with multi‑bevel cutting edge and triangular shank (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Spezial is a precision metal drilling tool designed for drilling machines and cordless drills, optimised for hard and alloyed steels as well as a wide range of metals.

• High‑performance HSS‑G for durable drilling
• 135° point for clean starts in hard materials
• Triangular shank ensures secure grip in chucks
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardised short twist drills

Faster, more efficient metalworking for demanding tasks

The specially ground HSS‑G geometry of this tool delivers up to 40% faster drilling and requires around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills, which directly reduces operator fatigue and cycle times. This performance advantage means fewer tool changes and higher throughput in workshop environments. For fabrication and production settings where speed and repeatability matter, the reduced thrust requirement also lowers the load on cordless and stationary machines, extending battery life and reducing wear on the machine spindle.

Durable material and tip design for precise, burr‑free holes

Made from HSS‑G, the drill combines toughness and heat resistance to resist softening at elevated cutting temperatures; this yields longer tool life on steel and cast materials. The 135° point angle is tailored for harder workpieces and reduces walking at the start of a hole, delivering clean, burr‑free edges. The specially sharpened tip also improves centring and helps to maintain roundness of the drilled hole, which is particularly beneficial when tolerance and surface quality are critical.

Wide application range and machine compatibility

This Twist Drill Spezial is intended primarily for metalworking and is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels, cast irons, sintered irons, non‑ferrous metals, hard plastics and even wood where a metal drill is acceptable. The triangular shank offers reliable torque transmission and is especially practical for use with cordless drills and portable machines, while compatibility with stationary drilling machines supports workshop and production use. Users who need a versatile metal drill will appreciate the balance between cutting speed and hole quality.

Standards, handling and recommended use for safe results

Manufactured to DIN 338, the product meets the standard definition for short twist drills with cylindrical shank, aiding selection and interchangeability. For best results use appropriate cutting fluids when drilling steels and consider slower spindle speeds for larger diameters or harder materials. The 75 mm spiral length and 117 mm overall length are optimised for through‑holes and common workshop applications; the 135° point angle shortens the initial penetration time in harder materials and improves centring during the pilot phase.
