Durable HSS-G Material for Reliable Metalworking

This twist drill uses HSS-G (high-speed steel, ground), a material chosen for strength and cutting performance when machining metals. The ground flute geometry produces very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, which helps achieve clean, precise holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and non-ferrous metals. Because the cutting edges are produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling, the tool cuts more efficiently, reducing the required feed force and improving surface finish for subsequent operations.

Efficient Cutting Geometry that Saves Effort

Engineered with a 118° point angle and fully ground flutes, the bit centres easily and penetrates softer metals and mixed materials with controlled chip evacuation. The specific grind reduces friction and can enable up to faster drilling rates compared with roll-formed equivalents while requiring less axial force. For professionals working on production or maintenance tasks, this means more consistent hole quality and reduced operator strain during repetitive drilling.

Fast, Secure Changeover with Hexagonal Shank

A Hexagonal Shank design ensures form-fit torque transmission in quick-change holders and bit chucks commonly found on cordless drivers and workshop holders. This improves resistance to cam-out and simplifies tool changes without compromising compatibility with standard chucks. The fully ground finish and silver surface also aid visibility of wear, assisting timely tool inspection and maintenance.

Optimised Dimensions and Machine Compatibility

With a 3.5 mm diameter, Flute Length 39 mm and Total Length 90 mm, this twist drill is dimensioned for through-holes and moderate-depth bores in metalworking tasks. Conformity to DIN 338 classifies this as a short twist drill suitable for both stationary machine tools and portable use, depending on application and coolant provision. For best results, use appropriate speeds, feeds and cooling when drilling hard materials to extend tool life.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills from MetavCUT are primarily applied to machining high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; their ground geometry is easy to resharpen and withstands higher loads, which makes them suitable for demanding metalworking tasks.

Which 3 drill types exist?
Common drill categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Masonry/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill family and is optimised for use in metalworking.

Is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for cordless drills?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill with a Hexagonal Shank is compatible with quick-change holders and many cordless drivers, offering secure torque transmission; however, for heavy-duty metalwork a stationary Drilling Machine or proper cooling is recommended for best tool life.

Why choose a fully ground MetavCUT Twist Drill over rolled versions?
A fully ground Twist Drill from MetavCUT provides sharper edges and higher runout accuracy, leading to cleaner holes and often faster drilling with less feed force, though careful handling and cooling are advised to avoid brittle fracture.
