Twist Drill Type N — Short HSS‑G, 2.9 mm, 135° Tip, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shaft, DIN 338 — MetavCUT

A Twist Drill (Type N) short HSS‑G metal drill for drilling machines, designed for precise, stable holes with a 2.9 mm diameter and a 135° tip angle.

• Short design for high stability and precision
• HSS‑G: up to 40% faster drilling with less feed force
• 135° tip for hard materials such as stainless steel
• Fully ground shaft for secure clamping in drill chucks

Precision and Material Advantage that Saves Effort

The HSS‑G construction of this short Twist Drill delivers a clear productivity advantage: faster penetration into metal and significantly reduced required feed force, which means less operator fatigue during repetitive work. The bright Finished surface supports smooth chip evacuation while the fully ground shaft ensures stable clamping, reducing runout and improving hole quality. These Eigenschaften make the tool particularly suitable for demanding tasks where consistency matters.

Designed for Metalworking and Machine Use

Engineered to conform to DIN 338, this short Type N drill is optimised for machining metal on drilling machines and hand drills. The 135° tip angle is chosen specifically to improve centring and reduce walking on tough, hardened materials such as stainless steel and cast steel. Because the cutter length is short, the tool exhibits less deflection and therefore yields cleaner, more accurate bores in high‑strength workpieces.

Practical Benefits for Professionals and Workshops

Workshops benefit from the combination of 2.9 mm diameter accuracy and the robustness of a short drill: easier fixturing, improved repeatability and faster cycle times on production and repair jobs. The Basic Line modelling and bright finished appearance help with quick identification and inventory management, while the tool’s compatibility with standard drilling machines keeps integration effortless in busy trade environments.

What sets this drill apart for precise metal applications

The Type N normal spiral geometry is the proven classic for metal drilling. With a reduced overhang and the solid HSS‑G substrate, the drill resists wear longer and can be resharpened more easily than many coated alternatives, giving a good life‑cycle balance for everyday industrial use. The tool’s flute and cutting geometry offer efficient chip removal and stable cutting behaviour even at moderate speeds.
