Introducing Twist Drill Type N (Short) — 6.5 mm · 135° · HSS-G · Bright Finished · DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a short Type N drill designed for precise metalworking with a 6.5 mm diameter, optimised for Drilling Machine applications.

• Short Type N Twist Drill for precise metal work
• HSS‑G material: faster drilling, less feed force
• 135° tip for harder materials such as stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for improved concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylindrical drills

Faster penetration and lower feed force for demanding metalwork

The HSS‑G construction delivers a clear performance advantage: up to 40% faster drilling and approximately 50% lower feed force compared with conventional HSS tools. This means less operator strain and reduced wear on both tool and machine when processing alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel and non‑ferrous metals. The 135° Tip is optimised for tougher materials, shortening dwell on the surface and improving centring on curved or hardened parts. For workshop environments where efficiency and repeatability matter, this design converts technical properties into measurable productivity gains.

Short design for superior stability and precise holes

Built to the DIN 338 definition of a short cylindrical drill, the reduced overhang of the Short version greatly increases rigidity and reduces bending. The shorter exposed length results in improved concentricity and less vibration during operation, which translates into cleaner hole geometry and longer tool life. Where tight tolerances are required, the reduced tendency to deflect ensures repeatable results even at larger diameters and higher spindle speeds. This stability makes the tool particularly suitable for stationary and portable Drilling Machine setups that demand both accuracy and throughput.

Shank, finish and practical advantages at a glance

The Fully Ground Shank provides excellent concentricity and secure clamping in chucks, while the Bright Finished surface aids chip evacuation and visual inspection for wear. With a Spiral Length of 63 mm and an overall length of 101 mm, the geometry balances cutting capacity and strength for common metalworking tasks. The Type N normal spiral is the classic geometry for metal drilling and is straightforward to resharpen, which keeps replacement costs down and simplifies workshop maintenance routines. These characteristics combine to offer a robust solution for professional metalworkers seeking a reliable, easy‑to‑use drill bit.
