Twist Drill — Type N, 2.5 mm, 118° tip, HSS, short, Black, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N for drilling metal offers precise pilot-hole performance in drilling machines and hand drills, with a short design and HSS material for stability and durability.

• Short design increases drilling stability
• High-Speed Steel (HSS) suited for metal work
• 2.5 mm diameter for accurate pilot holes
• 118° tip improves centring on curved surfaces

Precision and stability for demanding metal work

A short, roll-formed Twist Drill delivers reduced overhang and significantly less bending during operation, which results in greater accuracy when producing pilot holes. The compact geometry means the tip remains concentric with the spindle even under load, lowering the risk of runout and improving hole quality. This construction is particularly valuable when working on components requiring tight tolerances, where consistent alignment and repeatable results are essential.

Durable HSS material and industrial standard conformity

Made from HSS (High Speed Steel) and manufactured to DIN 338, this short twist drill combines wear resistance with toughness for standard metalworking tasks. HSS provides a balance between hardness and elasticity, reducing breakage risk in diameters below 6 mm and enabling effective machining of alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and plastics. Compliance with DIN 338 guarantees consistent dimensions and performance suited to both stationary and portable drilling equipment.

Optimised geometry for reliable centring and chip evacuation

The 118° point angle and Type N spiral form (normal twist) support controlled entry and moderate cutting forces, helping to centre the drill on slightly curved or uneven surfaces. The short spiral length and classic flute geometry aid chip evacuation in metal drilling, reducing heat buildup and improving tool life. For tasks where precise pilot holes are required before reaming or tapping, this geometry offers an effective compromise between fast penetration and stable guidance.

Who benefits and typical applications

Engineers, maintenance technicians and metalworkers who require reliable pilot drilling will value the combination of Type N geometry and short overall length. The bit is intended primarily for metal applications and is compatible with standard chuck-mounted drilling machines and many hand drills, making it suitable for workshop and on-site operations. MetavCUT designed this component for repeatable, everyday use where ease of regrinding and consistent performance matter.
