Twist Drill — Short Type N HSS‑G 11 mm, 135° Tip, Bright Finished (Drilling Machine)

The Twist Drill Type N short HSS‑G 11 mm is a precision metal‑working drill designed for use with Drilling Machines for accurate, stable holes in hard materials.

• Short design for greater stability and precision
• HSS‑G for up to 40% faster drilling and less force
• 135° tip angle optimised for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for secure clamping
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short spiral drills

High efficiency and reduced effort with HSS‑G

The Twist Drill from MetavCUT uses HSS‑G high‑speed steel, which allows up to 40% faster drilling while requiring around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. This advantage translates into less operator fatigue and more throughput in repetitive metalworking tasks. Type N normal spiral geometry provides reliable chip evacuation and makes this short drill especially effective when working with alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, and other demanding materials.

Short length for superior stability and accuracy

A short overall length reduces the exposed overhang and noticeably lowers the tendency to bend or chatter during machining. The compact format increases rigidity, resulting in cleaner, more precise holes and longer tool life when used in appropriate setups. The Fully Ground shank ensures excellent concentricity in the chuck, improving runout and clamping security for demanding shop environments.

Designed for hard materials and precise centring

With a 135° tip angle the drill is optimised for harder workpieces such as stainless steel; a flatter tip distributes cutting forces and shortens penetration time while improving centring on uneven surfaces. The Type N spiral is the classic metalworking profile: robust for metal and steel, less suited for very soft materials. For users less familiar with these terms, the tip angle controls how aggressively the drill cuts and how easily it centres, while the spiral form governs chip removal and surface finish.

Recommended users and practical handling tips

Workshops, maintenance technicians and professional metal‑workers benefit most from this short Type N Twist Drill when demanding precision and tool life are priorities. For best results use appropriate cutting speeds, steady coolant or lubricant on harder alloys, and peck drilling for deeper holes. MetavCUT’s Basic Line construction makes this drill a reliable choice for routine production tasks where stability and repeatability matter.

FAQ

What materials is the Twist Drill by MetavCUT Type N suitable for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily intended for metalworking and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics; its HSS‑G composition and Type N geometry make it a reliable choice for these materials.

What is a Twist Drill mainly used for?
A Twist Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its form is relatively easy to resharpen and it withstands high loads, making it suitable for demanding metal drilling tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
The three common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; for metal applications the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is the classic choice.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the tip?
The tip sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the drill point, which significantly lowers friction and therefore reduces required feed forces; this sharpening also improves centring of the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N in the workpiece and helps achieve a cleaner bore.
