Twist Drill — Short Type N, Ø 3.7 mm, 135° tip, Bright finished, HSS‑G, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

A short Twist Drill (Type N) for Drilling Machines that excels in metalworking and precision tasks.

• Short HSS‑G Twist Drill for hard metals
• 135° tip for improved entry in stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high stability and precision
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Faster metalworking with lower feed force

The HSS‑G construction combines hardness and toughness, enabling up to 40% faster drilling and requiring around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS bits. This advantage reduces operator fatigue during extended runs and lowers the mechanical load on handheld Drilling Machines. The short design minimises overhang, improving stability and reducing deflection, which is particularly valuable when working with legated and unlegated Steel or Cast Iron.

Stable, precise holes in demanding materials

Equipped with a 135° point angle, this short Type N bit is optimised for harder materials such as Stainless Steel, where a flatter point shortens the initial breakthrough and improves concentricity. The fully ground shank and flute geometry ensure reliable chip evacuation and repeatable centring, so fewer re‑drills are necessary and part quality is maintained. Explanation: a larger point angle distributes cutting forces and delays work hardening on the surface.

Built to DIN 338 for workshop reliability

Manufactured to DIN 338, the geometry and dimensions follow the standard for short Twist Drills with cylindrical shanks, allowing predictable performance across batches. This standardisation simplifies tool selection for workshops and ensures compatibility with common tool holders. The Basic Line model focuses on practical robustness rather than cosmetic frills, delivering straightforward performance for professional metalworking environments.

Where this drill bit adds the most value

The product is designed for precision tasks on metal: steel, cast materials, sintered iron and certain hard plastics. Its shorter length improves handling in tight fixtures and reduces chatter in portable Drilling Machines. For users seeking a reliable, easy‑to‑regrind solution for medium to heavy duty holemaking, this Twist Drill offers a practical balance between cutting speed and tool life, making it suitable for production and maintenance applications.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills like the MetavCUT Twist Drill are primarily applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters. Their geometry makes them straightforward to regrind and capable of withstanding significant loads, so they are well suited for drilling in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron and hard Plastics.

Which 3 drill types are there?
There are three common drill categories: Metal drills, Wood drills, and Stone/Concrete drills. These groups reflect typical geometries and point designs optimised for the respective material families.
