Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) — 2 mm • 135° • Type N • Bright Finished • Short • DIN 338 • HSS-G • Fully Ground Shank — MetavCUT

The Twist Drill by MetavCUT is a short Type N drilling tool designed for precision metalworking on drilling machines, offering fast penetration and high stability for hardened and alloyed steels.

• Short Type N design for stable drilling
• High-performance HSS-G material for demanding metals
• 135° tip angle for harder workpieces
• Fully ground shank for precise concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Faster, more efficient metalworking thanks to HSS-G technology

The HSS-G construction reduces drilling time and operator effort by up to 40% compared with conventional HSS tools while requiring less axial force. This advantage is particularly relevant when working with Alloyed Steel, Cast Steel or Hard Plastics, where higher cutting speeds and consistent results matter. The short geometry minimises deflection, so holes stay concentric and rework is reduced.

Greater stability and precision for demanding applications

A 135° tip angle improves centring and reduces walking on curved or hardened surfaces, which means fewer pilot operations are needed. Combined with the fully ground shank, this Twist Drill delivers tighter runout and better tool grip in the chuck of a drilling machine, enhancing hole quality and extending tool life under elevated cutting forces.

Designed for professional metalworkers and workshops

Engineered for industrial and trade users, this short Type N twist drill suits tasks where stiffness and repeatable accuracy are required. It is ideal for machinists, maintenance technicians and metal fabrication shops that need reliable performance on stainless steel, non-ferrous metals and cast components without frequent tool changes.

DIN 338 compliance explained and practical tip

Built to DIN 338 specifications for short twist drills with cylindrical shanks, this product follows standardised lengths and tolerances to ensure interchangeability and predictable behaviour in production setups. For best results, use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate feed for larger diameters; this preserves the sharpened geometry and sustains the advantage of the reduced axial force.

FAQ

What materials can I reliably drill with the Twist Drill by MetavCUT (Type N)?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) made from HSS-G is especially suited for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, temper-cast materials, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics; it offers improved penetration and wear resistance compared with conventional HSS.

Is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for use in a hand-held drill?
Although primarily intended for use on a drilling machine, the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in hand-held drills for less demanding tasks; however, the short design and fully ground shank deliver optimal accuracy and reduced runout when clamped in a machine chuck.

For what is a Twist Drill mainly used?
A Twist Drill is primarily applied for machining high-strength materials and larger diameters; this form is easy to resharpen and withstands greater loads, making it the standard choice for metalworking and tough materials.

Which three drill types exist?
The three main categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.
