Twist Drill — Type N, Diameter 1.1 mm, 118° Tip, Short, Black, HSS, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

A Twist Drill Type N short HSS bit for precise metal drilling in Drilling Machines.

• Short design for high stability
• Ideal for Metal Drilling with Type N geometry
• 118° Tip Angle for better centring on surfaces
• HSS construction for toughness and re‑sharpening
• Conforms to DIN 338 short twist drill standard

Precision and Stability for Tough Metal Tasks

The short design of this Twist Drill ensures markedly reduced deflection and higher concentricity during drilling operations, which is essential when working with metallic components that demand tight tolerances. Thanks to the HSS material and the limited overhang, the tool resists bending and provides a more consistent Hole Quality. This stability means fewer rejects and less rework when producing precision Parts or preparing fastener holes in thin or thick Metal sheets.

Engineered Tip Geometry for Reliable Starts

A 118° Tip Angle combines good penetration with dependable centring on slightly curved or uneven surfaces. The moderated Tip Geometry reduces walking at the start of the cut and allows a controlled entry into materials such as unalloyed or alloyed Steel and Cast Iron. For users unfamiliar with angles: a smaller tip angle aids initial positioning, while a larger angle shortens the initial contact time; the 118° compromise is therefore widely used for versatile Metalworking applications.

Machine Compatibility and Practical Application

Designed for use in a Drilling Machine, this short Type N bit is well suited to tasks where tool rigidity influences result quality. With a Diameter of 1.1 mm, a Spiral Length of 14 mm and an Overall Length of 36 mm, the bit provides a balanced cutting zone and chip evacuation for small to medium depth holes. The normal-helix geometry supports chip removal in many ferrous and non-ferrous Metals while allowing straightforward re‑sharpening when necessary.

Durability, Standards and Who Benefits Most

Manufactured from HSS according to DIN 338 for short twist drills, this tool offers a reliable combination of toughness and heat resistance for repeated drilling cycles. The Type N geometry targets Metalworkers, tool rooms and workshops that require a versatile, easy-to-maintain drill for production and repair tasks. For professionals and advanced hobbyists alike, the short format brings improved control and a longer service life under typical workshop conditions.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials can it handle?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT (Type N) is primarily intended for drilling Metal; its HSS composition and normal-helix geometry make it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and selected Plastics, providing robust performance in workshop and production environments.

Which three drill types are commonly distinguished?
Commonly, drills are categorised as Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Masonry/Concrete Drill, and the Twist Drill (MetavCUT, Type N) belongs to the Metal Drill group designed for ferrous and non‑ferrous materials.

What is a Twist Drill mainly used for?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and for larger hole diameters; its shape allows straightforward re‑grinding and it withstands higher loads, making it the go‑to tool for many metalworking tasks.

Why are Twist Drills point‑sharpened?
Point‑sharpening reduces the chisel edge at the tip, significantly lowering friction and feed forces; as a result the Twist Drill centres more reliably and requires less operator input during penetration.
