Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) — Ø 8.6 mm · 135° tip · Type N · Bright finished · Short · DIN 338 · HSS‑G · MetavCUT The Twist Drill is a short HSS‑G metal drill designed for precise drilling in hard materials on Drilling Machines. Short design for higher stability and precision Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills 135° tip optimised for hard materials Fully ground shank for high concentricity Up to 40% faster drilling with reduced feed force Deliver faster, cleaner holes with a short HSS‑G design The short Twist Drill construction reduces overhang and vibration, which directly improves stability and hole quality. Thanks to the HSS‑G (ground High Speed Steel) geometry, cutting edges are sharper and concentricity is higher than rolled alternatives, leading to more consistent hole diameters and less rework. The reduced tendency to wander makes this drill particularly effective when accuracy matters, for example when preparing holes for threaded fastenings in metal components. Precision at the tip: why 135° helps with hard materials A 135° tip angle increases the contact area at the point and reduces the initial penetration aggressiveness compared with steeper tips, which helps when drilling stainless steel, cast and alloyed steels or hard plastics. The Type N normal spiral is the classic metalworking geometry and provides reliable chip evacuation and centre guidance. In practice, this means fewer retries, reduced burr formation and a cleaner finish on the workpiece. Suitable machines and material range for consistent results This short Type N Twist Drill is intended for metalworking on rotating machines and is suitable for both stationary Drilling Machines and compatible portable setups when rigidity is ensured. It is recommended for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The fully ground shank ensures tight clamping and low runout, improving tool life and repeatability in production environments. Handling advice to maximise performance and tool life Ground HSS drills can be more brittle than rolled types; therefore, apply moderate feed and appropriate cutting fluid when machining metals to avoid premature breakage. Correct speed and steady feed are essential: slower speeds and continuous coolant are advised for harder alloys. For precise positioning, use a pilot or centre punch before drilling. If uncertain about speeds, feeds or machine setup, expert advice is available from METAV Werkzeuge to match operating conditions to material and hole requirements.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily used for drilling in hard and high‑strength materials; it is especially suited to metalworking tasks such as holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics, where precision and stability are required. Which three drill types exist? The three main drill categories are Metal drill, Wood drill and Stone/Concrete drill; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill family and is optimised for machining metals. Why are twist drills pointed? The point geometry reduces the cross‑cut area at the tip, lowering friction and required feed forces; by sharpening (pointing) a Twist Drill the cutting forces decrease and the tip centres more reliably in the workpiece. Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood? A metal Twist Drill can be used in wood, but the guidance is inferior and the hole finish is usually less clean compared with dedicated Wood drills; however, metal Twist Drills are easier to resharpen and show less self‑pulling action.

Twist Drill Type N — 8.7 mm, 118° tip, short, black, HSS, DIN 338 (MetavCUT) The Twist Drill Type N is a short High Speed Steel drill bit designed for precise metal drilling with hand or drilling machines. Short design for increased stability and precision HSS material for metalworking durability 8.7 mm diameter for standard metal holes 118° tip angle for reliable centring Conforms to DIN 338 short twist drill specification Reliable rigidity for precision metalworking A short HSS twist drill with a Type N spiral offers clear benefits where accuracy matters. The reduced overhang and the 81 mm spiral length together with an overall length of 125 mm reduce deflection and vibration during drilling, resulting in cleaner holes and longer tool life. This geometry is particularly advantageous for workshop and maintenance tasks where repeatable hole quality is required. The roll-formed or ground cutting edges deliver consistent cutting behaviour across common ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Standardised design that supports consistent results Compliance with DIN 338 identifies this bit as a short twist drill with a cylindrical shank, engineered for machine and hand-tool use. The short format increases stability and makes the tool less prone to bending under load, which benefits precision fitting and assembly processes. Users benefit from predictable tool behaviour and easier tool handling when switching between similar machines, while manufacturers achieve repeatable hole tolerances as required in many metalworking applications. Practical compatibility and drilling behaviour The 118° tip angle helps the drill centre reliably on slightly contoured surfaces and reduces the tendency to wander during the initial contact. As a Type N bit, it is the classic geometry for metal drilling and is suited for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron and many non-ferrous metals. The cylindrical shank enables secure clamping in standard chucks of both hand and drilling machines, and the short construction aids chip evacuation and cooling when used with appropriate cutting fluids. Who gains most from this short HSS bit Metalworkers, toolroom technicians and maintenance engineers will appreciate the combination of HSS toughness and the short format for tasks that require repeatable precision. The design reduces the risk of breakage during moderate feeds and supports efficient workshop workflows. Produced by MetavCUT, this bit is a reliable choice for industrial repairs, prototype shops and technical training environments where durability and consistent drilling performance are essential.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for machining metal; it performs well on alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron and many non-ferrous metals where a short, stable drill is required for precise holes. Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N be used with a hand drill? Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is suitable for both hand drills and machine drilling when clamped securely; its short form reduces bending and improves accuracy in handheld applications. For what is a Twist Drill used? A Twist Drill is mainly applied for machining high-strength materials and larger drill diameters. This shape is easy to sharpen and withstands greater loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking tasks. Which three drill types are there? The main categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills. Why are twist drills pointed? Pointing reduces the chisel edge at the tip, lowering friction and therefore requiring less feed force; it also improves centring of the drill tip in the workpiece. Can a twist drill be used to drill wood? A metal twist drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with dedicated wood bits; metal bits are easier to re-sharpen and have less aggressive self-feed.
Twist Drill (Type N) — 8.7 mm, 135°, Short, 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed, HSS‑E, DIN 338 The Twist Drill (Type N) is a short HSS‑E metal drill designed for precise drilling in hard and alloyed steels using a Drilling Machine. Twist Drill Type N by MetavCUT 8.7 mm Diameter for precise metal holes 135° Tip for harder materials Short design improves stability and accuracy HSS‑E with 5% Cobalt for increased heat resistance Precision and Durability for Tough Metals Designed as a short Type N bit, this HSS‑E Twist Drill delivers high stability and reduced deflection thanks to its shorter overhang. The 5% cobalt alloy increases red‑hardness and thermal resistance, so heat buildup during high‑speed metal drilling is better tolerated, extending tool life. For users who require repeatable, clean holes in Alloyed Steel and Stainless Steel, the shorter geometry directly translates into improved hole quality and fewer rejects. Optimised Geometry for Clean, Accurate Holes With a 135° tip angle and a fully ground flute geometry, the tool enters harder materials with less walking and lower axial force. The grinding process creates sharp cutting edges and excellent concentricity, resulting in precise bores and smooth chip evacuation. For customers unfamiliar with cutting geometry: the larger tip angle reduces penetration aggressiveness and is recommended for harder workpieces such as stainless steels. Suited Use Cases and Who Benefits This short, Type N HSS‑E drill is particularly appropriate for machinists and professionals working on metal fabrication, maintenance, and toolmaking. The stable design makes it ideal for drilling on bench or column Drilling Machines where rigidity matters most. If occasional mobile hand‑drilling is needed, the bit still performs, but best results are achieved with a steady, well‑clamped setup. Standards, Manufacturing and Practical Advice Manufactured to DIN 338 and available in a fully ground shaft execution, the bit conforms to recognised short twist‑drill specifications for industrial use. Ground (HSS‑G) drills offer superior roundness and cutting precision compared to rolled counterparts, though they can be less tolerant of shock loads. For prolonged runs, use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate feed rates to maximise tool life and hole quality.

Twist Drill — Type N Short HSS‑G, 8.7 mm, 135°, Bright Finished, DIN 338 The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS‑G drill designed for precision metalworking in Drilling Machines, offering high stability and clean holes for demanding industrial applications. Short HSS‑G design for higher stability 8.7 mm diameter for precision metal drilling 135° point for hard materials like stainless steel Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy DIN 338 standard for consistent quality Improved stability and faster cutting for metalworking Short design increases rigidity: the short Twist Drill reduces overhang and resists bending, which improves positional accuracy during drilling. The HSS‑G (ground High Speed Steel) geometry enables significantly faster material removal — the manufacturer information cites up to 40% faster drilling with 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills — which directly translates into shorter cycle times and lower operator effort when working with steels and other tough metals. Tip geometry tailored for harder materials A 135° point angle is specified to ease entry into hardened surfaces and to reduce chipping when drilling stainless and alloyed steels. For non‑specialists: a larger point angle flattens the tip, spreading cutting forces and reducing the tendency for the drill to "grab", so holes start cleaner and tool life improves under correct cooling and feed. The drill conforms to the Type N normal spiral profile, making it particularly suitable for metal applications rather than soft woods. Precise shank and manufacturing quality for consistent results The fully ground shank and ground flute geometry produce high concentricity and sharp cutting edges. Grinding (HSS‑G) rather than roll‑forming creates very sharp cutting lips and excellent roundness, which yields cleaner holes and better dimensional accuracy. Users should note that ground drills can be more brittle than rolled types and therefore benefit from using appropriate coolant and secure clamping in the machine.

The short HSS‑G geometry supports precise drilling in harder materials when used with suitable coolant and machine setup. How does the 135° point angle affect drilling performance with the MetavCUT Twist Drill? A 135° point angle on the MetavCUT Twist Drill reduces initial penetration forces and improves centring on hard materials; this larger angle shortens the effective cutting time and helps prevent chipping at the entry, provided the drill is used with appropriate feed and cooling. For what is a Twist Drill mainly used? A Twist Drill is most commonly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters. It is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metal drilling tasks. Which three drill types are there? There are three main drill families: Metal drills, Wood drills and Masonry/Concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for that purpose. Why are Twist Drills sharpened (pointed)? Pointing the tip reduces the cross‑cut at the drill’s tip, which lowers friction and consequently the required feed force; this also improves the drill’s ability to self‑centre in the workpiece for cleaner starts. Can a Twist Drill be used for drilling wood? A metal Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are typically inferior to a dedicated wood bit. Metal drills are easier to resharpen and have lower self‑feed, so they are usable in a pinch but do not give as clean results as wood‑specific bits. At which depths is the Twist Drill most used? Solid drilling is commonly executed with a Twist Drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool. Is HSS or HSSE better? The general belief that HSSE is always superior to HSS is incorrect. When choosing between HSS and HSSE, evaluate whether the specific working conditions justify the higher cost of HSSE material.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill Short Type N is primarily used for machining metal; it excels in drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and harder plastics thanks to its robust HSS‑G construction and shortened geometry that improves stability. Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a hand drill or only in a Drilling Machine? The Twist Drill is designed for Drilling Machine applications to achieve optimal stability and concentricity, though it may be used in heavy‑duty hand drills with appropriate clamping and reduced projection; for precise industrial tasks a stationary Drilling Machine is recommended. What are Twist Drills used for? Twist Drills are mainly applied in the machining of high‑strength materials and large drill diameters; their grindable form allows straightforward re‑sharpening and they withstand greater loads, making them suitable for demanding metalwork. Which three drill types exist? The common drill types are Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Stone/Concrete Drill. Why are Twist Drills pointed? Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, significantly lowering friction; by re‑pointing the tip the required feed force decreases and the drill centres better in the workpiece. Can you drill wood with this Twist Drill? A Metal Drill like the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with dedicated Wood Drills; however, metal drills are easier to re‑sharpen and show less self‑pulling action. For which depths is the Twist Drill most used? Twist Drills are the standard tool for through drilling; they are most commonly used for diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm. Is HSS or HSSE better? The assumption that HSSE is always superior to HSS is incorrect; selection should depend on working conditions and whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified by specific application demands.

Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) — Type N short · 8 mm · 135° · HSS‑E · DIN 338 · 5% cobalt‑alloyed · Fully Ground — MetavCUT The Twist Drill Type N short 8 mm is a precision metal‑drilling bit for use in a Drilling Machine, designed for stable, accurate holes in hard materials. Short design for improved stability and precision 8 mm HSS‑E geometry for hard and alloyed steels 135° point angle for reduced walking in stainless steel Fully ground shaft for high concentricity and clean holes Manufactured to DIN 338 for metal machining reliability Precise material and cutting performance for demanding metalwork This short Twist Drill is made from HSS‑E (High Speed Steel with cobalt) and features a 5% cobalt‑alloyed composition that increases hot hardness and wear resistance. The shorter overall length reduces cantilever action, which directly improves stability and reduces the risk of deflection during machining. For operators who require consistent hole quality in tough materials, the cobalt‑enriched steel provides longer tool life under elevated temperatures compared with standard HSS. Designed for stable, accurate drilling in hard materials The Type N geometry with a 135° point angle is optimised for harder substrates such as stainless steel and alloyed steels; the flatter point decreases the tendency to dig in and shortens the initial plunge time. Because the bit is fully ground, it delivers excellent runout accuracy and very sharp cutting edges, resulting in cleaner holes with minimal burr formation. These characteristics are particularly valuable for precision work on components where hole accuracy matters. Practical advantages and typical uses in workshops Short twist drills to DIN 338 are especially suited to bench and machine drilling operations where rigidity is available—examples include drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and certain plastics. The reduced overhang makes setup easier and safer on both stationary and portable drilling equipment. Users benefit from fewer broken tools when observing recommended feeds, speeds and adequate cooling, particularly for diameters below 6 mm; for the 8 mm size here, appropriate cooling extends life and improves surface finish. Recommendations for machining and tool handling When using this short, fully ground twist drill, clamp the workpiece securely and use a Drilling Machine with proper alignment. Start with a centre or pilot mark when high positional accuracy is required and apply cutting fluid for prolonged tool life when machining stainless or high‑strength alloys. The rolling or grinding manufacturing method affects regrindability: fully ground bits offer superb initial sharpness and repeatable geometry, but they can be more brittle—regrind carefully and avoid excessive heat build‑up during sharpening.

What is a Twist Drill used for? A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; this form is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads. Which three drill types exist? The three main drill categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. Why are twist drills point‑sharpened? Point sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, significantly lowering friction so that reduced feed forces are sufficient; it also improves initial centring of the tip in the workpiece. Can a metal drill be used to drill wood? A metal drill can be used in wood, but guidance is poorer and the hole finish is less clean; however, metal drills are easier to resharpen and show less self‑feeding. At which drilling depths is the twist drill most commonly used? Solid drilling with a twist drill is standard for hole diameters up to about 20 mm and drilling depths up to roughly 100 mm; it is the most frequently used tool for these ranges. Is HSS or HSSE better? The common belief that HSSE is always superior to HSS is incorrect; you should assess whether working conditions justify the higher cost of HSSE for your specific application.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is primarily applied for machining high-strength materials and larger bore diameters; it performs well in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel and Non-Ferrous Metals. Its ground spiral geometry is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking tasks. Which three drill types exist? In general tool classification you will find Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Stone/Concrete Drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal Drill group and is optimised for metalworking applications. Why are Twist Drills pointed? The pointing reduces the cross-cut at the tip of the Twist Drill, significantly lowering friction and therefore the required feed force; this sharpening also improves centring of the tip in the workpiece for a more accurate start. Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood? A Metal Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in Wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with wood-specific bits. Metal Drills are easier to resharpen and have less self-feeding action, so results in Wood are acceptable but not optimal. For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used? A full-penetration bore is often executed with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm this type of tool is the most frequently used option for reliable deep-hole drilling. What is better, HSS or HSSE? The common assumption that HSSE steels are universally superior to HSS is not correct. When choosing, evaluate whether the specific work conditions justify the higher cost of HSSE; MetavCUT supplies HSS-G variants that balance performance and economy for many metalworking tasks.
Twist Drill — 8 mm, 135° Tip Angle, Extra Long • Bright Finished • HSS‑G • DIN 1869 The Twist Drill is an extra‑long HSS‑G metal drill for deep, precise holes with a Drilling Machine, optimised for hard materials and demanding shop use. Extra‑long design for deep drilling CNC‑ground HSS‑G for precise, clean holes 135° Tip Angle suited for hard materials Fully ground shank for excellent concentricity Consistent deep-hole performance for demanding metalwork The MetavCUT extra‑long design delivers reliable drilling when access is restricted or when through‑holes must be produced without multiple setups. With a Total Length 390 mm and a Spiral Length 265 mm, this twist drill enables drilling of extended depths while maintaining steady chip evacuation. The elongated geometry reduces the need for extensions or stepped drilling, which saves time in production and lowers fixture complexity. For machinists seeking reproducible deep holes, the geometry is designed to balance stiffness and Reach. Sharp geometry and material for hard, alloyed steels Made from HSS‑G and finished by CNC grinding, the bit combines toughness with cutting precision. The 135° Tip Angle reduces cutting forces in harder materials such as stainless and tempered steels, improving centring and lowering the risk of workpiece deformation. Grinding the Flutes produces a sharp cutting edge and high runout accuracy, which results in cleaner bores and more consistent hole tolerances. For operators less familiar with grind types: CNC grinding means the Flute geometry is cut rather than rolled, giving higher Dimensional Precision at the cost of slightly increased brittleness — therefore cooling and appropriate speeds are recommended. Recommended applications, handling and compatibility This metal drill is intended for drilling in legated and unlegated Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics under workshop conditions. It is optimised for use in a Drilling Machine and benefits from controlled speeds, steady feed and coolant for prolonged life. The Fully Ground Shank improves clamping concentricity in chucks, reducing runout and vibration. As a practical tip: when working deep, ensure adequate Chip Evacuation and periodic pecking or coolant supply to prevent clogging and premature wear.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill (metal Twist Drill) is primarily designed for machining high‑strength and alloyed steels and larger bore diameters; its extra‑long design and HSS‑G material make it suitable for deep holes and applications requiring precise hole geometry. Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a bench or handheld drill? The MetavCUT Twist Drill is optimised for use in a Drilling Machine; it can be used in powerful benchtop machines but, due to its length and ground construction, handheld use is not recommended for safety and accuracy reasons. For what is a Twist Drill used? A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and large bore diameters. Its form allows relatively easy regrinding and it endures higher loads, making it suitable for tough metalworking tasks. Which three drill types exist? Common categories are Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Masonry/Concrete Drill. Why are twist drills pointed? Pointing reduces the cross‑edge at the tip of the twist drill. By pointing, friction forces are significantly lowered so reduced feed forces are required, and the tip centres better in the workpiece. Can you drill wood with a metal twist drill? A metal drill can be used in wood, but guidance is poorer and hole quality is inferior. Metal bits are easier to regrind and have less self‑feed, so results may be acceptable for non‑critical wooden applications. At which drilling depths is the twist drill most used? Twist Drills are the standard tool for through holes and are most commonly used up to diameters of about 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm; extra‑long variants extend that capability for deeper bores. Which is better, HSS or HSSE? The general assumption that HSSE is always superior to HSS is incorrect. Evaluate working conditions carefully to determine whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified for the required application.
Twist Drill — Drill Bit, Diameter 8 mm, 118° Tip Angle, HSS‑G, Fully Ground, Silver, DIN 338 The Twist Drill is a precision Drill Bit for metalworking, offering an 8 mm Diameter and a 118° Tip Angle for reliable centring and clean holes in a variety of metals. Ideal for metalworking applications with high precision Fully ground geometry for faster, cleaner drilling Hexagonal shank for secure torque transmission Conforms to DIN 338 for standardised short Twist Drills Suitable for use in Drilling Machines and handheld drills Faster, cleaner holes thanks to fully ground geometry The Twist Drill uses a Fully Ground HSS‑G construction that produces very sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy. This manufacturing method (CNC grinding) enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires approximately 50% less feed force compared with rolled HSS bits, which translates into less operator fatigue and shorter cycle times. The grounded flute geometry also yields cleaner, more precise holes particularly in alloyed and unalloyed steel and other hard materials. Secure clamping and improved torque transfer with a hexagonal shank A Hexagonal Shank (sechskant) ensures form‑fit torque transmission into Bit Holders and quick‑change chucks, reducing slippage during heavy cutting. The shank design allows direct use in 1/4" bit holders (E6.3) while remaining compatible with standard chucks, which simplifies tool changes and increases workplace efficiency. For mobile setups and cordless drivers, the hex shank provides safer engagement under higher loads. Material choice and geometry tuned for metalworking Made from HSS‑G (high speed steel, ground), the bit offers a balance of hardness and toughness for drilling metals such as steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and certain engineering plastics. The 118° Tip Angle favours easier penetration and better centring in softer metals like aluminium, while the overall bit geometry remains versatile for a wide range of workshop tasks. Note that fully ground HSS can be more brittle than rolled variants; therefore, recommended use is with adequate cooling and in appropriate drilling setups to maximise service life. Practical use cases and handling recommendations Experienced machinists and maintenance technicians will appreciate the combination of DIN 338 conformity and standardised lengths that support repeatable setups on both stationary and portable machines. For best results, use the correct cutting speed for the material and apply coolant when machining harder alloys. The bit is well suited to production tasks and repair work where precision and repeatability are required rather than rough or one‑off woodworking applications.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill, a precision Drill Bit made from HSS‑G, is intended primarily for metalworking and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and some hard plastics; for the hardest materials, follow recommended speeds and cooling practices. How should the MetavCUT Twist Drill be clamped and operated for best life? Clamping the MetavCUT Twist Drill in a properly sized chuck or a 1/4" bit holder for the Hexagonal Shank ensures secure torque transfer; use correct cutting speeds, steady feed and coolant as needed to reduce wear and avoid brittle failure. What is a Twist Drill used for? A Twist Drill is mainly applied when working on high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; the ground flute geometry makes it easier to grind and yields precise holes that withstand higher loads. Which three drill types are there? The main drill types are Metal Drills, Wood Drills, and Stone/Concrete Drills. Why are Twist Drills point‑sharpened? Point‑sharpening reduces the chisel edge at the tip, significantly lowering friction and thus the required feed forces, while improving centring of the bit in the workpiece. Can a Metal Drill be used in Wood? A Metal Drill can be used in Wood, but it offers less guidance and a less clean finish compared with dedicated wood bits; however, such drills are easier to resharpen and have lower self‑feeding tendency. For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used? A solid bore is typically executed 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. Is HSS or HSSE better? The common belief that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not universally true; decide based on your specific working conditions to determine whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified.

Twist Drill Bits: Design and Typical Use
The twist drill (also known as a helical drill) is defined by its spiral flutes, which help remove chips quickly and can also support the flow of lubricants during drilling. Of course, we also carry suitable lubricants for your drilling tasks.
What a Twist Drill Bit Looks Like
A twist drill features a conical tip and multiple cutting edges—typically the main cutting edges, secondary edges, and a chisel edge. Common point angles include:
- 118° or 135° on HSS drill bits (high-speed steel)
- 142° on carbide drill bits
The point angle matters because it influences how well the bit handles lateral forces and impacts. Depending on the material, a larger or smaller angle can help reduce or increase the required feed pressure. A smaller angle can also improve self-centering and reduce the risk of slipping on smooth or curved surfaces.
Materials: Built for Long Service Life
To ensure durability and reliable performance, our twist drill bits are made from robust materials such as:
- HSS (high-speed steel)
- HSS-G (ground high-speed steel)
- HSSE (high-speed steel with 5% cobalt content)
Applications: From Metal to Material-Specific Drilling
Twist drill bits are commonly used for metalworking (often referred to as “metal drill bits”), but there are also optimized versions for wood, masonry, and plastics. The key is matching bit geometry, material, and shank/holder type to the job.
Our Range: High-Quality Drill Bit Sets for Many Tasks

FAQ: Common Questions About Drill Bits
What are three common types of drill bits?
-
A simple, practical breakdown for most projects includes:
- Twist (metal) drill bits (e.g., HSS/HSS-G/HSSE)
- Wood drill bits (often with a centering/brad point for clean starts)
- Masonry/concrete drill bits (typically carbide-tipped; often SDS variants for rotary hammers)
Which drill bits are the best?
-
The “best” drill bits are the ones that match your material and your tool. As a rule of thumb:
- Steel & stainless steel: high-quality ground twist drill bits—often HSSE/cobalt for tougher materials
- Wood: wood bits with a centering point for precise, clean holes
- Masonry/concrete: carbide-tipped masonry or hammer drill bits; with rotary hammers, frequently SDS-plus
Also consider point geometry, consistent run-out, and using the right speed and feed—these details strongly influence hole quality and bit life.
What’s the difference between SDS drill bits and SDS Plus drill bits?
-
In everyday language, “SDS” is often used as a shorthand. SDS-plus is the most common shank system for many rotary hammers (typically for light to mid-duty applications). The main point is compatibility: the bit and the chuck must match. SDS-plus is not the same as SDS-max.
Can a rotary hammer drill in normal (non-hammer) mode?
-
Yes—many rotary hammers include a drill-only mode (no impact). In that setting, you can drill “normally,” for example in wood or metal. Depending on the machine, you may need a suitable chuck or adapter when using standard cylindrical-shank drill bits.
