MetavCUT Twist Drill — 4 mm, 135° Tip, Type N, Bright Finished, Extra Short, DIN 1897, HSS‑G

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is an extra short Type N drill bit designed for precise metalworking with Drilling Machines and Hand Drills, offering stable performance in confined spaces.

• Extra short design for greater stability
• 135° tip angle for harder materials
• Cylindrical shank for universal chuck fitting
• Made from HSS‑G for durable, fast drilling
• Conforms to DIN 1897 for consistent dimensions

High Stability and Faster Penetration for Metalworking

The extra short geometry of this Twist Drill reduces overall length and cutting length, which increases stability and reduces the risk of breakage when working in tight or thin components. The ground HSS‑G cutting edges enable up to 40% faster drilling with approximately 50% less axial force compared with conventional HSS drills, so operators can achieve cleaner holes with less exertion. This makes the bit particularly suitable for repetitive metalworking tasks where tool life and operator comfort matter.

Secure Cutting in Tough Materials Thanks to 135° Tip

A 135° tip angle tailors the MetavCUT Twist Drill to harder workpiece materials such as alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels and other dense metals. The blunter tip reduces initial cutting forces and shortens the time to penetrate the surface, improving centering and reducing walking on stainless steel or tempered iron. For customers less familiar with geometry: a larger tip angle spreads the contact area and delays dulling, which keeps hole quality consistent over longer runs.

Universal Compatibility with Cylindrical Shank and Standard Norms

Equipped with a cylindrical (round) shank, the Twist Drill clamps easily in standard three‑jaw chucks of Hand Drills and Drilling Machines, delivering a simple and universal fit. Conformity to DIN 1897 ensures predictable overall and flute lengths for tool planning and replacement. Note that while the round shank is widely compatible, under very high torque conditions a chuck may allow slight slippage compared with polygonal shanks.

Practical Use Cases and Who Benefits Most

This Twist Drill is aimed at professionals and well‑equipped hobbyists who work with metal, such as fabricators, maintenance technicians and toolroom operators. It excels in drilling into sheet metal, profiles, castings and harder grades of steel where short overhang and robust performance are required. For thin‑walled components or cramped setups the extra short format improves control and reduces chatter, producing cleaner bores with less rework.

Handling Tips and Best Practices

When using the MetavCUT Twist Drill, apply moderate cutting speeds suited to HSS‑G in metals and use cutting fluid where applicable to extend tool life and improve finish. A light pilot or centre punch helps to prevent walking on smooth surfaces. Because the bit is extra short, avoid excessive overhang from the chuck—keep the working length as short as practical to retain the stability advantages.

FAQ

What materials is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is designed primarily for metalworking and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics; its HSS‑G composition and Type N spiral make it a reliable choice for tougher materials.

How should the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used to avoid breakage?
Use the MetavCUT Twist Drill with minimal overhang, appropriate cutting speeds for HSS‑G, and cutting fluid where recommended; a centre punch for starting and moderate feed rates help maintain hole quality and reduce the risk of breakage.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill, such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill, is primarily applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; its form is easy to regrind and it withstands high loads, making it suitable for demanding metal drilling tasks.

Which 3 drill types are there?
The three principal drill categories are metal drills (like the MetavCUT Twist Drill), wood drills, and stone/concrete drills.
