Twist Drill (Type N) — 1.25 mm, HSS, Short, 118° Point, Black, DIN 338

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metal‑drilling bit designed for precise work in drilling machines and hand drills.

• Short, stable design for precise metal drilling
• High‑performance HSS for standard metal applications
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent dimensions
• 118° tip angle for reliable centring on curved surfaces
• Suitable for use in drilling machines and hand drills

Built for accurate metal drilling with consistent geometry

The HSS construction gives this short drill bit reliable toughness and good elasticity during cutting, making it well suited to the typical demands of metalworking. With a 1.25 mm diameter and DIN 338 specification, the tool provides repeatable geometry for fine holes, while the Type N spiral design targets conventional metal applications. Users benefit from stable hole quality and predictable performance when machining unalloyed and alloyed steels, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics.

Short length improves rigidity and precision

A reduced overall length reduces deflection under load and increases stability in handheld and machine setups. The short execution limits overhang and therefore vibration, which results in straighter, more accurate holes and longer usable life of the cutting edge. For tasks that require tight tolerances or where access is limited, this compact geometry is a practical advantage because it keeps the drill centred and reduces the risk of breakage during plunge operations.

Tip geometry and the right spiral for common workshop tasks

The 118° point angle eases centring and starts cleanly on slightly curved or uneven surfaces. The classic Type N spiral is a general‑purpose metal flute geometry that balances chip evacuation and cutting action for standard alloys and steels. For customers unfamiliar with these terms: the point angle affects how the bit enters material, while the spiral type describes flute shape and chip removal behaviour — both influence feed forces and hole finish.

Who benefits and typical workshop uses

This bit is ideal for technicians, toolroom staff and hobbyists who require a reliable solution for drilling metal with drilling machines or hand drills. The MetavCUT branded bit is targeted at users needing repeatable hole quality in production or repair settings. Its short form favors precision over reach, making it suitable for jig work, panel fabrication and maintenance tasks where stable guidance and ease of resharpening are priorities.

FAQ

What applications suit the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily intended for drilling metal components; it is especially useful for machining steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous alloys in both workshop and maintenance environments where short, stable drill geometry is required.

How should the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N be used in a drilling machine?
When using the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N in a drilling machine, secure the workpiece, use appropriate cutting fluid for metal, and apply steady feed to avoid chattering; the short HSS geometry tolerates moderate feeds and benefits from good clamping and stable fixturing.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters. This form is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metal‑working tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common drill categories: metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.
