Twist Drill (Type N) — 3.3 mm, HSS, short, 118° point, black, DIN 338 by MetavCUT

A compact Twist Drill (Type N) designed for precision metalworking in hand drills and drilling machines, offering a short, stable geometry and a 118° point for reliable centring.

• Short HSS design for higher stability
• 118° point angle for improved centring
• Type N normal spiral optimised for metal
• DIN 338 specification for consistent quality
• Black finish with 65 mm overall length

Outstanding Stability and Precision for Metalworking

The Twist Drill in short HSS execution delivers enhanced stability thanks to its reduced protruding length and a stiffer design. This configuration reduces deflection during machining, resulting in cleaner holes and better repeatability when drilling metal. Short drills are particularly suitable for operations where rigidity and accuracy matter, such as jig or fixture work and reworking on portable equipment.

Material and Manufacturing Advantages that Matter

Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel) and produced according to DIN 338, this short twist drill combines toughness and wear resistance for typical metal applications. HSS offers elasticity that reduces breakage risk on small diameters and permits straightforward resharpening. The Type N normal spiral is the classic choice for steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals, ensuring a balance between cutting action and tool life.

Design Features That Improve Workflow

Equipped with a 118° point angle and a conventional flute geometry, the tool provides reliable chip evacuation and easy centring on flat or slightly curved surfaces. The short overall length (65 mm) and flute length (36 mm) make the drill less prone to vibration, which shortens cycle times by reducing the need for rework. The black surface finish supports identification and handling in busy tool sets.

Who Benefits Most from This Twist Drill

This product is aimed at workshop professionals and maintenance technicians who require a robust, easy-to-sharpen drill for metal fabrication and repair. The combination of HSS material, Type N geometry and DIN 338 conformity makes it a practical choice for everyday metal drilling tasks on portable and stationary drilling equipment. For specialist materials or deeper holes, alternative geometries may be preferable.
