Twist Drill Type N for Metal — HSS, 1.1 mm Ø, 118°, short, black, DIN 338 — MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metal drill designed for drilling machines and hand drills to deliver precise, stable holes in alloyed and unalloyed metals.

• Short HSS design for increased stability
• DIN 338 compliance for standard dimensions
• 118° tip for reliable penetration in metals
• 1.1 mm diameter for precise small holes
• Suitable for drilling machines and hand drills

Durable High-Speed Steel for reduced breakage and consistent results

Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel), this short Twist Drill offers enhanced elasticity that reduces the risk of breakage when producing small diameter holes, especially under 6 mm. The roll-formed HSS production method increases toughness while maintaining cutting performance, which benefits users who require reliable results during repetitive metalworking tasks. The combination of HSS and a short design leads to fewer tool failures and more consistent hole quality.

Short design delivers improved stability and precision in metalworking

A short execution according to DIN 338 reduces overhang and therefore bending or wandering during drilling, resulting in higher precision and cleaner hole geometry. For workshop applications where exact positioning matters, the compact length increases rigidity and control. The Type N normal spiral geometry is optimised for metal drilling and keeps cutting forces predictable, so users achieve repeatable outcomes even in demanding setups.

118° tip explained — why it matters for material entry and centring

The 118° tip angle balances fast penetration and reliable centring on flat or slightly curved surfaces. For many ferrous and non-ferrous metals, this angle eases initial contact and shortens the time to break through the material. In contrast, a 135° tip is better for very hard steels where regrind life and cutting edge strength are priorities. Novices: a smaller tip angle usually helps centring; a larger angle reduces wandering and extends tool life on hard workpieces.

Tailored for metalworkers who need precise small-hole performance

With a 1.1 mm diameter and compatibility with common drilling machines and hand drills, this tool suits technicians, maintenance staff and hobbyists focused on precise metal fabrication. The Type N spiral is intended for metal and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics. Choosing a purpose-made short Twist Drill minimises rework and improves throughput in serial tasks, supporting efficient workshop workflows.

FAQ

What materials can the Twist Drill by MetavCUT, Type N, drill reliably?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is designed for metal drilling and performs reliably in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics thanks to its HSS composition and standard spiral geometry.

Is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N suitable for both drilling machines and hand drills?
Yes, the Twist Drill by MetavCUT with a short execution is suitable for drilling machines and hand drills; its reduced overhang increases stability and lowers the chance of bending when used correctly.

How does the 118° tip of the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N affect drilling performance?
The 118° tip on the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N eases initial penetration and improves centring on flat or slightly curved surfaces, making it a good choice for general metalworking where quick, accurate starts are required.

What precautions reduce breakage risk when using the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N?
Use appropriate cutting speed and steady feed, secure the workpiece, and apply cooling/lubrication when drilling metals; these practices help the HSS Twist Drill Type N avoid overheating and extend service life.
