Twist Drill — Type N Short HSS-G Drill Bit, 1.5 mm, 135°, Bright Finished, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill is a short Type N drill bit designed for precision metal drilling on Drilling Machines and workshop hand drills.

• Short Type N design for stable drilling in metal
• HSS-G ground for up to 40% faster drilling
• 135° tip angle for harder materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for precise centring in chucks
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

High precision for demanding metalwork

The short Twist Drill in HSS-G material combines a compact geometry with a 135° Tip Angle to improve stability when penetrating hard materials. The reduced free length minimises deflection and vibration, which increases hole accuracy in Steel and Cast components. Conformity with DIN 338 ensures the bit matches standard dimensions and tolerances for short twist drills, facilitating reproducible results in production and repair tasks.

Faster results with lower feed force

Thanks to the specially ground geometry of the HSS-G grade, drilling speeds can be increased while required feed force is reduced, delivering measurable productivity benefits. The fully ground flute and point geometry are optimised to lower friction and chip resistance, which means less operator effort and improved cycle times when processing alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron and non-ferrous Metals.

Reliable compatibility with machines and chucks

The short Execution and a Fully Ground Shank support secure clamping in hand and machine chucks, while the Overall Length of 40 mm and Spiral Length of 18 mm make the bit suitable for tight working spaces. A Bright Finished surface offers corrosion resistance during storage and easier handling. This design favours repeatable centring and consistent surface finish when used in rotating stationary or portable drilling equipment.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill (MetavCUT, Type N) mainly used for?
The Twist Drill by MetavCUT in Type N execution is primarily applied to the machining of high-strength materials and larger hole diameters; its shape is easy to regrind and it withstands considerable loads while providing reliable performance in Steel and Cast applications.

Which three drill types exist?
Commonly distinguished drill types are Metal Drill (for Steel and alloys), Wood Drill and Masonry/Concrete Drill; the MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill falls into the Metal Drill category and is optimised for such tasks.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened (pointed)?
The sharpening reduces the cross-cut at the tip, which significantly lowers friction and thus the required feed force; a well-pointed Twist Drill (MetavCUT Type N) also centres more reliably in the workpiece for cleaner entries.

Can a metal drill be used in wood?
A Metal Drill such as the MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill can be used in Wood, but guidance and finish are typically inferior compared with a dedicated Wood Drill; metallic bits are easier to resharpen and show less self-feed in softer materials.

At what drilling depths is the Twist Drill most used?
A through-hole in solid material is usually executed with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to about 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the short or standard Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool.

Which is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general assumption that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not universally correct; the MetavCUT HSS-G selection should be evaluated against actual working conditions to determine whether the additional cost of HSSE is justified.
