Twist Drill — Short HSS‑G Type N for Drilling Machines, Ø 3.3 mm, 135°, DIN 338, Bright Finished

The Twist Drill short Type N from MetavCUT is a precision metal‑working drill designed for drilling machines, offering a 3.3 mm diameter and a 135° tip angle for demanding steel and cast‑metal applications.

• Short HSS‑G Type N for high stability
• 3.3 mm diameter for precise pilot holes
• 135° tip angle for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for accurate centring
• Conforms to DIN 338 for metalworking

Faster metalworking thanks to ground HSS geometry

The HSS‑G construction of this Twist Drill provides a measurable performance advantage: the ground geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling while requiring approximately 50% less feed force than conventional HSS drills. For professionals working with legated and unlegated steels, cast steel and non‑ferrous metals, this means shorter cycle times and less operator effort. The result is more efficient machining without compromising hole quality.

Increased stability and precision from the short design

Because this tool follows DIN 338 as a short twist drill, the reduced overall length improves stiffness and reduces bending under load. Shorter overhang leads to better concentricity and less chatter, which is especially beneficial when producing tight tolerance holes in hard materials. The compact design therefore supports consistent, repeatable results and reduces scrap rates in workshop environments.

Reliable centring and tip design for hard materials

The 135° tip angle is optimised for harder workpieces such as stainless steel, reducing walking and improving initial contact. The drill’s Type N normal spiral is the classic metal spiral geometry, suited primarily for metalworking rather than soft timber. A fully ground shank ensures excellent clamping fit and centring in the chuck, while the bright finished surface promotes smooth chip evacuation and visual inspection of wear.

Built for professional drilling machines and demanding tasks

Compatible with standard drilling machines, this short HSS‑G metal drill is intended for users who require dependable performance when machining steel, castings and technical plastics. Workshops, maintenance crews and metal fabricators benefit from the balance of hardness and toughness offered by the HSS‑G material, making it a practical choice for production and repair tasks where precision and tool life matter.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials is it suitable for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill short Type N is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; it performs particularly well in legated and unlegated steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, tempered castings, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. Its ground design is easier to sharpen and withstands higher loads.

Which three main drill types exist and where does this product fit?
There are three principal drill types: Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Stone / Concrete Drill. The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a metal drill (Type N), optimised for metal applications rather than timber or masonry.
