Twist Drill (Left-Cutting) – 1 mm, 135°, HSS‑G, DIN 338

The Twist Drill (left‑cutting) for Drilling Machine combines a 1 mm diameter and a 135° tip angle with HSS‑G material and DIN 338 classification for reliable metal machining

• Left‑cutting geometry for screw extraction and reverse drilling
• High‑speed steel HSS‑G for increased wear resistance
• 135° tip angle optimised for hard materials and stainless steel
• Short DIN 338 design for stable guidance and machine use

Precision cutting for demanding metalworking tasks

The left‑cutting Twist Drill from MetavCUT offers a targeted solution when conventional drills fail: its left‑cutting grind enables effective removal of broken or seized screws and fasteners by working in reverse rotation. The 135° tip angle reduces breakthrough and improves centring in harder materials such as stainless steel, while the short DIN 338 geometry ensures reliable guidance in stationary or portable Drilling Machines. This results in faster, more predictable results and less time spent on rework.

Faster drilling with less operator force

Engineered as a HSS‑G tool, the bit allows up to 40% faster drilling and requires about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills in comparable tasks. This efficiency is particularly relevant when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. Reduced feed force lowers operator fatigue and decreases the risk of drill wandering, so holes are cleaner and more precise with less machine strain.

Robust construction and standardised dimensions for workshop use

Manufactured to DIN 338, the short Twist Drill with a cylindrical shank is suitable for both roll‑peened and ground versions depending on production. The HSS‑G grade provides a balanced combination of toughness and hardness, prolonging tool life under intermittent or serial drilling conditions. The compact form factor makes the drill easy to clamp in chucks for hand drills as well as in toolholders on machine spindles, ensuring versatility across workshop setups.

Practical recommendations and typical applications

This left‑cutting Twist Drill is especially suitable for metalworking shops and maintenance teams facing broken screw extraction, repair tasks and drilling in tougher alloys. For general drilling in wood or masonry, select the corresponding specialist drill type; metal drills can be used in wood but typically deliver less precise guidance and finish. When unsure whether this MetavCUT Twist Drill meets specific requirements, METAV Werkzeuge offers expert advice and technical support to help choose the right tool and cutting parameters.
