Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) – Left-Cutting HSS‑G, 4.5 mm, 135° (Profi Line)

The Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) by MetavCUT is a left‑cutting metal drill designed for drilling and extraction tasks in harder materials, best used with a Drilling Machine.

• High‑performance HSS‑G construction for durability
• Left‑cutting geometry for screw extraction and reverse drilling
• 135° tip angle for efficient work in hard metals
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylinder‑shank drills
• Part of the Profi Line for consistent industrial quality

Maximum penetration power with reduced effort

Built in HSS‑G, this Twist Drill combines hardness and toughness to withstand high stresses when drilling metal. The 4.5 mm diameter provides a versatile hole size for many engineering tasks, while the 135° tip angle reduces the tendency to wander on entry and shortens the initial bite time in tougher materials. This results in faster hole making with lower operator force, an advantage in production environments where repeatable accuracy matters.

Effective extraction and specialised left‑cutting design

The left‑cutting (linksschneidend) geometry is ground to cut correctly in counter‑clockwise rotation, making this Twist Drill particularly suitable for removing broken or seized screws and for operations where reverse rotation assists extraction. When used in a compatible Drilling Machine with left rotation, the design often allows the screw remnant to be turned out during drilling, improving salvage rates and reducing rework.

Standardised quality for metalworking professionals

Manufactured to DIN 338, the short cylinder‑shank design of this Twist Drill reflects industry standards for metalworking tools. Users benefit from a predictable, robust tool geometry that is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, spheroidal graphite cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The Profi Line focus ensures consistent manufacturing tolerances and surface finish, helping maintain hole quality across batches.

Who benefits most from this tool and how to get support

Engineers, locksmiths and maintenance technicians who frequently encounter damaged fasteners or need reliable metal drilling in tight tolerances will value the specialised function of this left‑cutting Twist Drill.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill by MetavCUT used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily used for drilling and extracting in high‑strength materials; its left‑cutting grind makes it especially effective when removing broken or seized screws and when working with alloyed steels and hard plastics.

Which three drill types are commonly distinguished?
In general classification, the main drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill falls into the metal drill category designed for machining metals.

For what situations is a Twist Drill applied?
A Twist Drill such as the MetavCUT model is most often applied when machining high‑strength materials and for larger drill diameters; its form is easy to regrind and it endures higher loads while maintaining cutting performance.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of a Twist Drill, lowering friction and thus reducing the required feed force; this also improves centring of the drill tip in the workpiece for more accurate holes.
