Twist Drill — Metal Drill HSS‑G, Ø 9 mm, 135° Point, Spezial, DIN 338, with multi‑bevel cutting edge and triangular shank, MetavCUT

The Twist Drill HSS‑G metal drill is designed for fast, precise holes in steel and other hard materials, suitable for hand and stationary drilling machines.

• Fast drilling: up to 40% quicker than standard HSS
• Requires 50% less feed force
• 135° point for harder materials
• 3‑flat shank for secure grip in cordless drills
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Faster metalworking with less effort

This HSS‑G tool delivers a measurable productivity gain thanks to a specially ground geometry that enables up to 40% faster drilling while needing 50% less feed force than conventional HSS drills. The result is reduced operator fatigue and higher throughput in repetitive tasks. For workshops and industrial users who value cycle time, the shortened drilling time translates directly into improved efficiency and lower labour costs per hole without compromising hole quality.

Cleaner entry and reliable centring in hard materials

The 135° point is optimised for harder workpiece materials such as stainless steel and tempered alloys; it reduces wandering at the start of the hole and shortens the required plunge distance. By decreasing the chisel edge width, the point geometry lowers friction and cutting forces, which helps produce burr‑reduced, clean hole edges. For users unfamiliar with tip angles: a larger point angle typically penetrates harder materials more easily and provides better centring.

Secure clamping and compatibility for hand tools

The design with a triangular shank (3‑flat shank) ensures slip‑free engagement in chucks of cordless and hand drills, improving torque transfer and reducing slippage during exertion. Conformance to DIN 338 classifies this as a short twist drill with a cylindrical shank made of high‑speed steel, so it fits standard toolholders and is suitable for both mobile and stationary applications. METAV Werkzeuge offers expert consultation if there are questions about drill retention or machine compatibility.

Tailored for demanding applications and varied materials

Manufactured from HSS‑G, this Rapid‑type drill is suitable for a broad spectrum of materials including alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast and temper‑cast steels, non‑ferrous metals, hard plastics and also for occasional use in wood. Its geometry focuses on reliable performance in metalworking environments; the short configuration is particularly advantageous where rigidity and minimal runout are required. For precision shops, maintenance teams or professionals, this tool combines robustness with straightforward resharpening.

FAQ

For what is a Twist Drill used?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger bore diameters; its shape is easy to regrind and it withstands greater loads, making it ideal for demanding metalworking operations.

Which three drill types exist?
Common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills, and the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category tailored for metal machining.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the chisel edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, which significantly lowers friction and therefore requires less feed force; at the same time the point improves centring of the drill in the workpiece.

Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is inferior and the finish is less clean; however these drills are easier to resharpen and show less self‑feed.

At which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most used?
A full‑bore hole is often executed 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 inherently superior to normal HSS is incorrect; when choosing between HSS and HSSE for a MetavCUT Twist Drill, assess working conditions carefully to determine whether the higher purchase cost of HSSE is justified.
