Introducing the Twist Drill (Type N) by MetavCUT — 6 mm | HSS‑G | short | bright finished | 135° tip | DIN 338

A Twist Drill (Type N) designed as a short HSS‑G bit for precise metal drilling in drilling machines.

• Short design for increased stability and precision
• HSS‑G for faster drilling and lower feed force
• 135° tip angle for hard materials such as stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for secure clamping in drilling machines
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Greater cutting efficiency for demanding metals

Engineered with HSS‑G, this short bit delivers up to 40% faster drilling while requiring significantly less feed force compared with conventional HSS. The material composition improves heat resistance and edge retention, which means more consistent performance when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel and non‑ferrous metals. For workshop applications where cycle time and tool life matter, the enhanced cutting properties provide a measurable productivity advantage without compromising hole quality.

Stable drilling and improved centring in tight setups

The reduced overall length and short projection increase stability and reduce deflection in confined or deep‑bore situations. Classified under DIN 338 as a short twist drill with a cylindrical shank, this geometry minimises runout and helps achieve more accurate concentricity on the workpiece. The combination of short design and a 135° tip angle is especially suitable for harder materials, reducing walking on curved surfaces and shortening the initial contact time.

Optimised geometry for metalworking applications

As a Type N (normal spiral) tool, the bit is tailored for standard metal drilling tasks. The 135° tip favours drilling into tougher metals such as stainless steel by providing a flatter cutting action that lowers the risk of chipping at the entry. The flute geometry ensures efficient chip evacuation during machining, which helps maintain consistent hole dimensions and surface finish when used in both stationary and portable drilling machines.

Secure clamping and reliable handling

The fully ground shank guarantees precise fitment in chucks and collets, reducing slippage and enabling safe high‑speed operation. A bright finished surface offers basic corrosion resistance and a smooth appearance while keeping dimensional accuracy. Where tool change speed and secure holding are essential, the ground shank and standard cylindrical form support dependable toolholding across a range of drilling machines.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; it is designed for metalworking where stability and fast cutting are required. Its short form is easy to grind and withstands higher mechanical loads.

Which three drill types exist?
Common drill categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N belongs to the metal drill group optimised for steel and similar materials.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of the Twist Drill, which significantly lowers friction and therefore the necessary feed forces. At the same time the sharpened tip improves centring in the Workpiece.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used for wood?
Metal drills like the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but they typically provide less guidance and a less clean finish than dedicated wood drills. They are easier to resharpen and have lower self‑feed behaviour.

At which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A solid through‑hole is commonly produced with a Twist Drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general notion that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not universally correct. Evaluate the working conditions carefully to decide whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified for the intended application.
