Twist Drill — Type N, 1.3 mm, 118° Tip, Short HSS, DIN 338, Black (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS drill bit engineered for precise metal drilling on drilling machines and handheld drills.

• Short HSS design for high stability
• 1.3 mm diameter for fine, accurate holes
• 118° tip for reliable centring in metal
• DIN 338 standard for short cylindrical shank bits
• Suitable for drilling machines and handheld drills

Precise metal drilling with stable short design

The short HSS construction of this Twist Drill delivers reduced deflection and improved concentricity compared with longer bits, which makes it ideal when hole accuracy matters. The Type N geometry is the classic metal spiral suited for steels, cast iron and non-ferrous metals, and the comparatively short overhang ensures a firmer run-out and less vibration. For users seeking reproducible bore quality on both stationary Drilling Machines and Handheld Drills, this configuration reduces chatter and improves tool life.

Material choice and tip geometry that improve performance

Manufactured from High Speed Steel (HSS) and conforming to DIN 338, the bit combines toughness with wear resistance for standard metalworking tasks. The 118° tip supports easier centring on curved surfaces and soft-to-medium metals, while the rolled or ground short flute improves stability under load. This means less rework and more consistent hole quality for precision assemblies or maintenance work where small diameters like 1.3 mm are required.

Practical advantages and recommended applications

A short Twist Drill in black finish is particularly suited for drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steels, castings and many plastics where a stable, classic metal-drilling geometry is preferred. The compact overall length and 16 mm Spiral Length help when space is limited or when drilling clamped workpieces. For technicians and hobbyists performing repetitive small-diameter drilling, the reduced risk of breakage and simpler regrinding behavior make this bit a practical choice for workshop and industrial use.

Strong recommendation: For accurate metalworking choose the MetavCUT short HSS Twist Drill Type N for reliable centring and long-lasting performance — for expert advice contact METAV Werkzeuge.

FAQ

What materials can the Twist Drill from MetavCUT Type N drill?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily designed for metalworking: it performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron and many non-ferrous metals, and can also be used in certain plastics where a classic metal-drilling geometry is adequate.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high-strength materials and for larger drill diameters; it is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads, so the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is used especially for metalworking tasks that demand durability and consistent hole quality.

Which three drill types exist?
Drill types are generally categorised as metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N belongs to the metal drill category, optimised for machining metals rather than masonry or timber.

Why are twist drills pointed?
The point reduces the chisel edge at the tip, lowering friction and thus the required feed force; pointing improves centring in the workpiece, so the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N achieves better guidance and reduced radial forces during drilling.
