Twist Drill Type N — 2.5 mm, 135° | Short HSS‑G, Bright Finished (DIN 338)

The Twist Drill Type N is a short, fully ground HSS‑G drill designed for precision metal drilling in Drilling Machines and Hand Drills.

• Short design for greater stability
• 2.5 mm diameter for precise holes
• HSS‑G: faster drilling, lower thrust
• 135° tip for hard materials like stainless steel
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

High performance: faster drilling with less effort

This HSS‑G short Twist Drill delivers measurable efficiency: the ground HSS geometry permits up to 40% faster drilling and requires about 50% less thrust compared with conventional HSS drills. That translates into reduced operator fatigue and improved cycle times in repetitive metalworking tasks. The combination of fully ground shank and short overall length enhances torque transfer, so each drilling operation becomes noticeably more effective.

Built for stability and precision in metalworking

A short Twist Drill manufactured to DIN 338 offers superior rigidity thanks to a reduced overhang. This stability minimises deflection and supports accurate, repeatable hole placement when working with steels, cast materials and non‑ferrous metals. The reduced cantilever length is particularly advantageous in tight setups or when drilling on portable machines where control and concentricity are critical.

Tip geometry and material explained for better results

The 135° tip angle is selected for harder materials; a larger point angle reduces initial cutting pressure and improves performance in stainless and tempered steels. Type N denotes the normal spiral suited for metal drilling. If unfamiliar with terms: HSS‑G means high‑speed steel, ground finish — a material and manufacturing style that balances toughness with sharp cutting edges and makes resharpening straightforward when needed.

Who benefits and typical applications

Workshops, maintenance teams and precision fabricators benefit most from this short Twist Drill. It is optimised for Drilling Machines and Hand Drills when high rigidity and clean hole quality are required. Typical uses include drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, tempered components, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics where tool life and hole accuracy matter.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill by MetavCUT used for?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its design is robust and easy to resharpen, allowing it to withstand greater loads while maintaining performance.

Which 3 drill types exist?
Commonly distinguished drill types are Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Masonry/Concrete Drill. These categories reflect typical geometry and tip design optimised for each material group.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a handheld drill?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) can be used with Hand Drills; however, its short design and HSS‑G material make it best suited to applications where greater stability and controlled feed are possible for clean, accurate holes.
