Meet the MetavCUT Twist Drill — Short Type N, 4.5 mm, HSS‑G, 135°, Bright Finished (DIN 338)

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a short Type N Twist Drill designed for precision metalworking with a 4.5 mm diameter and a 135° point angle for demanding materials

• Short Type N design for high stability and precision
• HSS‑G fully ground for up to 40% faster drilling
• 135° point angle: optimised for hard and stainless steels
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills
• Fully ground shank for secure clamping in drills

High-performance drilling with less operator force

The HSS‑G construction of this short Twist Drill delivers a measurable productivity advantage: the ground geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS bits. This translates into reduced operator fatigue and shorter cycle times in repetitive metalworking operations. The 4.5 mm diameter combined with the 135° point angle is particularly effective for starting holes cleanly in tougher alloys, while the Type N spiral provides reliable chip evacuation under machine or handheld operation.

Short design for maximum stability and precision

A short overall length reduces overhang and flex, increasing drilling accuracy in critical applications. Conforming to DIN 338, the short configuration improves concentricity and minimizes runout when clamped in a chuck. The fully ground shank ensures secure clamping and consistent concentricity, making the tool ideal for setups where tight tolerances are required. These mechanical advantages help deliver repeatable hole quality in production and workshop contexts.

Material suitability and application guidance

This Twist Drill in HSS‑G is engineered for drilling a broad range of metals: alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, temper cast, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The 135° point angle slows initial penetration slightly but improves centring and reduces wandering on curved or coated surfaces, which is beneficial for stainless steel and other hard materials. The Type N spiral denotes the classic metalworking geometry, optimised for metal and less suitable for very soft woods or highly abrasive masonry.

Who benefits and practical handling notes

Workshops, maintenance teams and precision machinists gain from the combined stability of the short design and the productivity of the ground HSS material. The Twist Drill is suitable for both drilling machines and hand drills when correct clamping and feed rates are observed. Regrinding is straightforward due to the ground geometry, extending service life when maintained properly.
