Twist Drill — Profi Line left-cutting HSS-G 9 mm, 135° (DIN 338) by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill left-cutting HSS-G 9 mm is a metal drill bit designed for use in drilling machines and hand drills for efficient extraction and precise metal drilling.

• Left-cutting geometry for screw extraction and tough tasks
• 9 mm Diameter for standard metal drilling
• 135° Tip angle for harder materials like stainless steel
• HSS-G Material for wear resistance and durability
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills with cylindrical shank

Superior Performance in Hard Materials thanks to the 135° Tip Angle

The Profi Line short twist drill features a 135° tip angle, which reduces entry forces and shortens the pilot time when penetrating harder materials. This geometry is particularly advantageous for stainless steel and other high-strength alloys because it spreads cutting load and decreases the risk of tip wandering. The result is cleaner holes and improved centring in demanding Metal applications. One direct advantage for workshops is fewer rejects and less rework when machining tougher components.

Left-cutting Design: Fast Extraction and Lower Feed Force

A left-cutting grind means the bit is ground to cut when the spindle turns counterclockwise; this is ideal for removing broken or seized screws and studs. The MetavCUT left-cutting twist drill is optimised for such operations and, according to the manufacturer data, can achieve up to 40% faster drilling while requiring up to 50% less axial feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. For technicians, this translates into reduced operator strain and faster job turnaround when working on repair or disassembly tasks.

Material and Standard: HSS-G and DIN 338 for Reliable Use

Manufactured from HSS-G, this drill offers a balance of toughness and heat resistance suited for sustained metal cutting. The product is made to DIN 338, the standard describing short twist drills with a cylindrical shank; this ensures consistent shank dimensions, compatible fitting in standard chucks, and predictable performance across production workflows. For buyers this means reliable interchangeability in tool holders and consistent hole quality in serial work.

Where this Drill Excels and Who Benefits Most

This twist drill is aimed at professionals and maintenance technicians who work with both alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels, cast iron, sintered metals, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics. Its left-cutting version is especially useful in repair shops and assembly lines where removal of broken fasteners is frequent. The Profi Line series positions the bit as a practical choice for workshops that require a robust, short drill with dependable centring and reduced push-down effort.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; it is especially suited for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics. Its shape allows relatively simple resharpening while maintaining resistance under heavy loads.

Which three drill types are there?
Commonly distinguished drill types are metal drill bits, wood drill bits and masonry/concrete drill bits. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill bit group.

Why are twist drills resharpened at the tip?
Resharpening the tip of a twist drill reduces the cross-cut edge at the point. By regrinding the point, friction is significantly lowered and less feed force is required; at the same time the bit centres more reliably in the workpiece.

Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal twist drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is inferior and hole quality is usually less clean than with a dedicated wood bit. Metal bits are easier to resharpen and typically exhibit lower self-feeding tendencies.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most used?
A through hole in solid material is typically produced with a twist drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the twist drill is the most commonly used tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The common belief that HSSE steels are always superior to standard HSS steels is not universally correct. When choosing between HSS and HSSE, evaluate whether the specific working conditions justify the higher acquisition cost of HSSE.
