Twist Drill — MetavCUT HSS‑G Fully Ground Twist Drill, 3 mm, 118°, Hex Shank, Silver, DIN 338

A Twist Drill designed as a Drill for Metal for use in Drilling Machines, delivering precise, fast metal drilling thanks to its fully ground HSS‑G geometry.

• Fully ground HSS‑G for precise metal drilling
• 118° point angle for improved centring
• Hexagonal shank for secure torque transfer
• DIN 338 classification for short twist drills
• 30 mm flute, 80 mm overall length for extended reach

Precise metalworking with reduced effort

This fully ground HSS‑G tool offers a clear productivity advantage when machining metals. The CNC‑ground flute geometry produces sharp cutting edges and a high runout accuracy, so holes are cleaner and dimensional accuracy is improved. Because the cutter is ground rather than rolled, drilling can be up to 40% faster and requires significantly less feed force, which reduces operator effort and lowers tool wear during stationary or machine drilling.

Reliable centring and clean hole starts

The 118° point angle is chosen for easier centring and controlled penetration in softer to medium materials such as aluminium and many steels. This geometry helps to avoid wandering on curved or uneven surfaces and produces a consistent entry without excessive burr formation. For users who value reproducible starts and neat hole edges, the tip design of this tool contributes directly to a superior finishing result.

Secure fastening and fast changeovers

A hexagonal shank provides form‑fit torque transmission, minimising slippage in bit holders and quick‑change chucks. This design is particularly advantageous for cordless and impact drivers equipped for metal drilling, as it reduces the need for re‑clamping and speeds up workflow. The combination of hex shank and short‑length design follows the DIN 338 concept for short twist drills, enabling simple handling in both portable and stationary setups.

Application profile and best uses

Engineered primarily as a Drill for Metal, this tool is suited to alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials, sintered iron and many non‑ferrous metals, as well as hard plastics. The fully ground construction makes re‑grinding straightforward, while cooling and reduced chip adhesion are recommended for prolonged performance. For heavy or continuous cutting tasks, use with appropriate cooling and machine mounting to minimise risk of breakage.

Who benefits from this specification

Workshops and maintenance teams that need fast, accurate holes in metal will find this tool effective. The MetavCUT design targets machinists, fabrication professionals and service technicians who require quick bit swaps, precise hole location and the ability to drill a range of metallic materials without frequent tool replacement. The robust geometry and DIN 338 conformity support industrial usage and repeatable results.
