Twist Drill Type N (3.2 mm, 135°) — Short, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, DIN 338 — MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS‑G drill bit designed for Drilling Machines and metalworking applications, optimised for stable, precise holes in hard materials.

• HSS‑G for faster cutting and lower feed force
• Short design for higher stability and less deflection
• 135° tip angle for hard and stainless materials
• Fully ground shank for precise clamping and concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 classification for short spiral drills

Faster metalworking thanks to HSS‑G technology

Equipped with HSS‑G, this short Twist Drill delivers noticeably higher cutting performance while requiring less contact pressure. The hardened material and ground geometry allow the bit to cut more efficiently in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel and non‑ferrous metals. As a direct benefit, cycle times on production and maintenance tasks are reduced and operator fatigue is lowered because less feed force is necessary.

Greater stability and accuracy with the short design

A Short overall length reduces overhang and improves Stability during drilling operations, which lowers the risk of wander and breakage. The 135° tip angle is optimised for harder materials and supports faster penetration with better centring on curved or tough surfaces. This combination helps achieve cleaner holes and consistent diameters, making the tool suitable for precision assemblies and repeatable workshop work.

Designed for Drilling Machines and demanding conditions

Made according to DIN 338 and classified as Type N, the bit is intended for use on stationary and portable Drilling Machines where robust metal drilling is required. The Bright Finished surface supports smooth chip evacuation and visual inspection, while the geometry is tuned for common metalworking tasks. Where required, the tool can be used in a variety of machine setups, provided appropriate speeds and feeds are observed.

Practical features that support workshop efficiency

The Fully Ground shank enables reliable clamping and concentricity in standard chucks, reducing runout and improving hole quality. Combined with the short flute length and the Basic Line design, the bit offers a balance of Precision and ease of resharpening for maintenance routines. For fabrication environments that prioritise repeatable results, this configuration minimises rework and extends usable tool life.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N primarily used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters in metalworking. Its ground HSS‑G construction enables up to 40% faster drilling with reduced feed forces, making it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and hard plastics; the short design also supports greater stability under load.

Which three drill types exist?
When selecting drill bits, the main categories are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for metalworking rather than wood or stone applications.
