MetavCUT Twist Drill — Twist Drill, 4 mm, 118° Point, HSS‑G, Fully Ground, Silver, Hex Shank, DIN 338

The Twist Drill by MetavCUT is a precision metal‑working drill bit designed for handheld and machine drilling, ideal for accurate holes in alloyed and unalloyed steels and other hard materials.

• Fully ground HSS‑G for clean holes and high precision
• 4 mm diameter for fine, accurate drilling
• 118° point angle for easy centring in softer metals
• Hexagonal shank for secure fit in bit holders
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardised short twist drills

Faster metal drilling with sharp, fully ground HSS‑G

The HSS‑G construction and fully ground geometry mean this Twist Drill cuts with very sharp edges and excellent concentricity. For the user, that translates into up to 40% faster drilling and reduced feed force, which is particularly beneficial when working on alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials or hard plastics. Because the flute geometry is formed by CNC grinding rather than rolling, the hole finish is cleaner and tolerances are tighter, making the bit suited to precision tasks in workshop environments.

Reliable centring and torque transmission for handheld work

With a 4 mm diameter and a 118° point angle, this twist drill is tailored for applications where straightforward centring and controlled entry are needed. The hexagonal shank (suitable for 1/4" E6.3 holders) prevents slippage and enables rapid tool changes in quick‑change chucks and cordless drivers, while still being compatible with standard drill chucks. Compliance with DIN 338 ensures familiar dimensions and short‑length specifications for effective use on both stationary machines and hand drills.

Practical handling, care and performance tips

To get the best from this MetavCUT twist drill, use appropriate coolant or cutting fluid during prolonged or stationary machining to reduce heat and lower the risk of brittle failure inherent to very sharp ground drills. The bit is straightforward to resharpen when needed; its geometry lends itself to simple grinding while preserving the original cutting angles. For hobbyists and professionals alike, this results in consistent hole quality and predictable tool life when recommended speeds and feeds are observed.

Recommended users and typical applications

This twist drill is aimed at metalworkers, maintenance technicians and precision hobbyists who require clean, accurate holes in demanding materials. The Standard Line model combines workshop robustness with quick‑change convenience, making it suitable for repair work, fixture installations and prototype production.

FAQ

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in cordless drills and quick‑change holders?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill with its hexagonal shank is designed for use in both cordless drivers with 1/4" bit holders and standard chucks; the form‑fit hex shank reduces slipping and speeds up tool changes, while the HSS‑G geometry remains suited to both portable and stationary drilling when correct speeds and cooling are applied.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger bore requirements in metalwork; its ground geometry is easier to sharpen and withstands higher loads, delivering precise, clean holes even under demanding conditions.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common drill types: metal drills (such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill), wood drills and stone/masonry drills. Each type has geometry and materials optimised for its target substrate.
