Twist Drill — Type N, Ø 2.75 mm, 118° tip, short, Black, HSS, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N short is a precision HSS metal drilling bit for Drilling Machines and Hand Drills, designed for accurate holes in steel and non‑ferrous metals.

• Precision Ø 2.75 mm for fine metalwork
• 118° tip for improved centring on curved surfaces
• Short HSS design for higher Stability and reduced runout
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent Quality
• Suitable for Drilling Machines and Hand Drills

Engineered for stability and reliable hole quality

The HSS construction of this Twist Drill offers a blend of hardness and toughness that suits routine metalworking. The short execution reduces overhang and minimizes bending, resulting in higher Precision for critical holes. For workshop environments where repeatability matters, the shorter flute length improves tool life and lowers the risk of breakage when drilling diameters below typical thresholds.

Tip geometry and spiral profile for dependable centring

With a 118° tip angle and the classic Type N normal spiral, this drill bit enters softer and medium‑hard materials with reliable centring and predictable chip formation. The geometry is particularly helpful when starting holes on slightly curved surfaces or when a fast penetration without excessive contact is required. Users of Drilling Machines or Hand Drills benefit from predictable behaviour during feed, especially on alloyed and unalloyed steels.

Compliance with standards and easy maintenance

Manufactured to DIN 338 for short cylindrical‑shank twist drills, this bit follows established tolerances for length and shank dimensions. The HSS material also allows straightforward re‑sharpening, which means workshops can restore cutting edges economically without sacrificing concentricity. For customers who want consistent batch quality and traceable specifications, the DIN classification provides clear guidance on selection and replacement.

Practical application and recommended users

This Twist Drill from MetavCUT is aimed at professional workshops, maintenance technicians and advanced hobbyists who require dependable metal drilling performance. It is best used for steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and certain plastics where the Type N spiral performs well. The short design is beneficial for setups where rigidity is essential, such as on drill presses or when using small hand drills that require stable, repeatable results.
