Twist Drill — left-cutting, 6 mm, 135° tip, HSS‑G, DIN 338 (Profi Line) by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is a left‑cutting HSS‑G metal drill designed for use in a Drilling Machine to remove broken screws and to bore hardened steels and non‑ferrous metals.

• Left‑cutting geometry for screw extraction
• 135° tip angle optimised for hard materials
• HSS‑G material for high wear resistance
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylindrical shank drills
• Profi Line by MetavCUT for workshop reliability

Faster metal drilling with less force thanks to optimised geometry

The left‑cutting Twist Drill from the Profi Line combines a 135° tip angle and HSS‑G alloy to reduce drilling time and operator effort. Because the cutting geometry is configured for left rotation, the bit can assist in unscrewing broken fasteners while drilling, making repair work more efficient. The specialised grind cuts up to 40% faster and requires about 50% less thrust than conventional HSS drills, which translates into less operator fatigue and shorter job times for workshop professionals.

Built for workshop use and repair tasks — reliable in demanding applications

Designed primarily for metalworking, this left‑cutting Twist Drill is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. Use in a compatible Drilling Machine with reverse (left) rotation is required to exploit the cutting direction.

Standardised dimensions and production quality for consistent results

Manufactured to DIN 338 standards, the Profi Line short Twist Drill delivers consistent geometry and a cylindrical shank suited to chucks and collets used in stationary and portable drilling equipment. The DIN classification describes short spiral drills with cylindrical shanks from high‑speed steel, ensuring interchangeable dimensions and predictable performance. Choosing a tool made to this norm simplifies tool selection and reduces the risk of incompatibility on production and service equipment.

Practical handling, sharpening and tool life considerations

A correctly ground tip reduces the cross‑cut edge at the drill point, lowering friction and required feed force while improving centring in the workpiece. The left‑cutting grind can be resharpened when blunt; HSS‑G substrate allows straightforward regrinding without losing core hardness, extending tool life and lowering waste. Proper cooling and moderate spindle speeds for the material drilled further enhance longevity and hole quality, delivering clean, repeatable results for skilled users.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which applications suit it best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily used for drilling and extracting in high‑strength materials; it is especially effective when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and hard plastics where a left‑cutting action can aid removal of broken fasteners.

Which three types of drill are commonly distinguished?
Common 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 metalworking tasks.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened to a point?
Pointed sharpening reduces the cross‑cut edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, which significantly lowers friction and the necessary feed force; this also improves centring of the tip in the workpiece for cleaner, more accurate holes.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used for wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with a dedicated wood bit; metal drills are easier to resharpen and have less self‑pulling action.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
Twist Drills are the standard choice for through‑hole drilling; for diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm a Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool.

Is HSS or HSSE better for my application?
There is no universal superiority; HSSE is not automatically better than HSS in all cases. Evaluate working conditions and costs to decide whether the higher price of HSSE justifies your specific requirements.
