MetavCUT Twist Drill HSS‑G 8.5 mm (Twist Drill, DIN 338, 135°)

The Twist Drill HSS‑G 8.5 mm is a precision metalworking drill designed for use with Hand and Stationary Drilling Machines, optimised for rapid, burr‑free holes in steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous materials.

• HSS‑G Material for high wear resistance
• 135° Tip for cleaner entry in hard materials
• Triangular shank for secure grip in Drilling Machines
• Conforms to DIN 338 short twist drill standard
• Rapid‑ground geometry reduces feed force and drilling time

Faster metal drilling with less operator effort and consistent results

The specially ground HSS‑G construction of this Twist Drill translates into tangible productivity: up to 40% faster drilling and approximately 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills, as achieved by the optimized cutting geometry. This means shorter cycle times on production tasks and less physical strain during repetitive work. The 135° tip angle is tailored for harder materials, improving centring and reducing walking at the start of the hole to deliver neat, burr‑reduced results.

Reliable performance across a wide range of engineering materials

Designed for machining alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast and sintered irons, non‑ferrous metals, aluminium and hard plastics, the Twist Drill offers versatility for everyday workshop and industrial applications. The rapid ground point ensures clean hole edges and steady chip evacuation, which is particularly beneficial when working with tougher materials or when achieving a high surface quality of the bore is required.

Secure clamping and compatibility with cordless and bench units

The triangular shank (3‑flat shank) provides a positive drive in chucks and quick‑change holders, making the drill ideal for efficient use with cordless screwdrivers as well as conventional Drilling Machines. The overall length and flute geometry are matched to the DIN 338 classification for short twist drills, so users can expect consistent handling characteristics and straightforward integration into existing tool assortments.

Practical advantages for professional workshops and assemblers

Because the point geometry reduces required thrust, tool life can be extended and the risk of drill breakage diminished during deep or repetitive holes. The combination of rapid‑ground tip and HSS‑G material also simplifies regrinding for maintenance, giving workshops a cost‑efficient balance between performance and serviceability. For operators seeking both speed and longevity in metal drilling, this drill delivers measurable benefits.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for and where does the MetavCUT Twist Drill perform best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily used for drilling in high‑strength materials and larger diameters; it is especially suited to alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics. Its design allows easy regrinding and it withstands higher mechanical loads while delivering clean starts and burr‑reduced holes.

Which three drill types exist and how does the MetavCUT Twist Drill relate to them?
The three common drill types are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal drill category and is optimised for use in metalworking applications rather than woodworking or masonry.
