Twist Drill — Drill Bit, 3.2 mm, 118° Point, Fully Ground, Silver, HSS‑G, DIN 338 (Hex Shank) by MetavCUT

A Twist Drill metal drill bit designed for drilling machines and hand drills, combining a fully ground HSS‑G geometry with a 118° point for precise work in metals.

• 3.2 mm Diameter for precise holes
• Fully ground HSS‑G for fast metal drilling
• 118° Point Angle suited for softer metals
• Hex Shank (6.3 mm) for secure clamping
• Complies with DIN 338 for consistent quality

Faster metal drilling with precision-ground geometry

The fully ground HSS‑G construction delivers markedly improved cutting behaviour compared with roll‑formed variants. Thanks to the grinding process, the flute Geometry and cutting edges are exceptionally sharp, which can result in up to 40% faster drilling and markedly lower feed forces. This makes the bit particularly efficient when machining alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and non‑ferrous metals while producing clean, precise holes and excellent surface quality.

Secure clamping and easy tool changes with hex shank

Equipped with a Hex Shank, compatible with E6.3 (approx. 6.3 mm) quick‑change bit holders and many cordless driver adapters, the bit offers form‑fit torque transmission and reduced slippage in the chuck. The hex design also speeds up tool changes in everyday workshop routines and allows clamping in standard chucks when required, combining the convenience of portable use with the stability needed for accurate metal drilling.

Dimensions and standardisation for reliable machining

Manufactured to DIN 338, this bit provides standard dimensions and tolerances: 3.2 mm cutting diameter, 35 mm spiral length and 85 mm overall length, with a 118° point angle optimised for easier entry into softer metals and aluminium. The geometry supports good centring behaviour on slightly curved surfaces and the configuration is intended primarily for use in drilling machines and hand drills when processing metals.

Intended users and recommended working conditions

Designed for workshop professionals, maintenance technicians and metalworking hobbyists, the bit suits tasks that demand precision and repeatability. While the grinding process gives excellent sharpness and accuracy, ground HSS can be relatively more brittle than rolled equivalents; therefore stationary use with adequate cooling is recommended for heavy‑duty continuous operations. The bit is straightforward to re‑sharpen when needed, extending service life with correct handling.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Twist Drill for Metal) is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; its ground flute geometry provides sharp cutting edges and high run‑out accuracy, producing clean and precise boreholes even in demanding metalworking tasks.

Which 3 drill types exist?
In broad terms there are three common drill categories: Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill family and is optimised for machining metals rather than masonry or timber.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The point grind reduces the chisel edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, which significantly lowers friction and thus requires less feed force; at the same time the sharpened tip improves centring in the workpiece for more accurate starts.

Can the Twist Drill be used for wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are generally inferior compared with a purpose‑designed wood bit; metal drills are easier to re‑sharpen and have less aggressive self‑feeding characteristics.
