Twist Drill – Left-Cutting HSS-G Twist Drill (Ø 1.5 mm, 135° Tip, DIN 338)

The Twist Drill left-cutting bit for drilling machines, designed for precise metalworking and for tasks such as removing broken or seized screws.

• Left-cutting geometry for extracting screws
• 135° tip for hard materials and stainless steel
• HSS‑G material for high wear resistance
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short shank drills
• Optimised for drilling machines with left rotation

Faster metalworking with reduced feed forces

The Twist Drill with left‑cutting geometry is engineered for efficient metalworking. Its specialised grind allows cutting in left rotation, which is particularly helpful when extracting broken or seized screws. Compared with standard HSS bits, the sharpened design can achieve up to 40% faster drilling while requiring about 50% less feed force, making machining less strenuous on both operator and machine.

Precision entry and less wandering on tough materials

A 135° Tip is selected to improve centring and reduce walking on hard materials such as stainless steel. The larger tip angle shortens the initial penetration time and produces a more controlled cut, which is advantageous when working with thicker or tougher alloys. For operators, this means cleaner holes and less need for pilot operations.

Durable HSS‑G composition and standardised manufacture

Made from HSS‑G, this bit combines high-speed steel hardness with good toughness for repeated use in metalworking. Compliance with DIN 338 ensures consistent dimensions and quality for short shank, cylindrical Twist Drills, so replacement and inventory management are straightforward. For non-experts: DIN 338 describes the geometry and production methods commonly used for short metal drills, ensuring interchangeability across suppliers.

Application range and machine compatibility

Designed for drilling in a range of metals including alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel, and non-ferrous metals, this left‑cutting Twist Drill performs best in a drilling machine that can run in left rotation. Typical uses include general metal fabrication and specialised tasks like out‑drilling screw remains. Operators needing clean, repeatable results from metal to hard plastics will find this bit reliable and robust.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills from MetavCUT are primarily applied to machining high-strength workpieces and larger drill diameters; their design is easy to re‑grind and withstands higher loads, making them suitable for tasks such as drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and hard plastics.

Which three drill types are there?
The main drill categories are: Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill family and is optimised for metallic materials.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used to remove broken screws?
Yes, the left‑cutting MetavCUT Twist Drill is designed for applications including extracting broken or seized screws because the left rotation often helps engage and loosen a screw remnant while drilling.
