Twist Drill — Type N short HSS, Diameter 2.1 mm, Point Angle 118°, Black, DIN 338

The Twist Drill Type N is a short High Speed Steel metal drill designed for precise drilling with a Hand Drill in workshop and maintenance applications.

• Short HSS design for high stability
• 118° point angle for easy centring
• 2.1 mm diameter for precise metal holes
• Conforms to DIN 338 for reliable quality

Accuracy and Stability for Precision Metalwork

Designed as a short Spiral Length configuration, this Twist Drill delivers improved Stability and minimal deflection during use. The combination of Diameter 2.1 mm and Point Angle 118° ensures accurate entry and a clean bore in typical metalworking tasks. Because the shorter Overall Length reduces overhang, users benefit from greater concentricity and less chatter when working with handheld or benchtop machines. This results in consistent hole geometry and less rework for professional and hobby workshops alike.

Durable High Speed Steel for Reliable Performance

Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel), the tool is optimised for standard metal drilling tasks where toughness and the ability to withstand elevated cutting temperatures matter. The low-temperature production method makes the material more elastic, reducing the risk of breakage when drilling smaller diameters under 6 mm. For operators this means a drill that can be resharpened if necessary and remains dependable when cutting alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and many Plastics.

Practical Application and Who Benefits

This Twist Drill is tailored for Metal applications and is particularly suited to craftsmen, maintenance technicians and small workshop operators who use a Hand Drill or portable Drilling Machine. The short execution gives an advantage for confined spaces and for tasks requiring precise guidance. Users seeking a classic Type N metal drill will appreciate the balance of ease of use and robustness, making it a go‑to choice for routine drilling where accuracy is required.

Conformance to DIN 338 and Design Advantages

Compliant with DIN 338, the short variant of the Twist Drill is defined for cylindrical shank HSS drills and targets stable, high‑precision machining on rotating machines and portable equipment. The chosen 118° Point Angle favours centring on curved or softer surfaces and reduces initial walking, while the short design improves rigidity. For tougher materials or when faster penetration is needed, larger point angles are available, but for general metalworking the standard 118° offers a reliable compromise between centring and cutting efficiency.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for and which materials suit it best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for machining higher‑strength materials and larger drilling tasks in Metalworking. It is especially suitable for drilling Alloyed and Unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and many Plastics. The short HSS construction allows easier resharpening and offers good resistance to breaking, making it a reliable choice for workshop and maintenance applications.

Which three drill types exist and where does the Twist Drill fit?
There are three common drill types: Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N belongs to the Metal drill category and is optimised for general metal drilling tasks with a cylindrical shank and HSS material.
