Twist Drill Type N – 10.2 mm, 135° (HSS‑G, DIN 338, Short, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank) by MetavCUT

A Twist Drill Type N for precise metal drilling with a 10.2 mm diameter and a 135° point angle, designed for use in hand Drilling Machines and engineered for stability and fast material penetration.

• HSS‑G for up to 40% faster drilling
• 10.2 mm Diameter for precision metal holes
• 135° Point for harder materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for stable chuck clamping

Faster metalworking with reduced thrust for efficient workshop results

Manufactured in HSS‑G, this short Twist Drill combines material hardness and a ground geometry that enables significantly higher cutting speeds and up to 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. The result is faster cycle times when machining alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. This advantage reduces operator fatigue on manual machines and shortens production steps in small series work.

Stable drilling and precise hole quality thanks to short design

The short overall length and the 87 mm spiral length lower overhang and bending, which increases stability and reduces runout during drilling. For workshop applications requiring repeatable, concentric holes in metal components, the reduced flute length and fully ground shank deliver cleaner drill starts and improved surface finish. This design is particularly suitable for short, accurate holes where rigidity matters more than extreme penetration depth.

Geometry optimised for tougher materials and reliable centring

A 135° point angle improves performance in harder materials such as stainless steel by shortening the initial cutting action and lowering the tendency to wander on curved surfaces. The Type N normal spiral provides a balanced flute form for efficient chip evacuation in metalworking. In practice, this means fewer re‑drillings and consistent hole geometry even under manual clamping conditions.

Shank and finish crafted for secure clamping and longevity

The fully ground shank ensures reliable seating in chucks and collets, while the bright finished surface supports smooth chip flow and inspection. The short Twist Drill layout enhances torsional stiffness, which reduces the risk of breakage under heavier loads. For production environments where tool life and repeatability are priorities, this combination of features offers measurable benefits.
