• Conforms to DIN 338 for short HSS drills
• Designed for drilling machine use in metal

Precision and Stability for demanding metalwork

Short design combined with HSS construction provides increased Stability and reduced run-out compared with longer drills. The reduced overhang inherent to the short execution minimises bending and vibration, so holes remain true in steel and non-ferrous metals. Conformity with DIN 338 guarantees standardised lengths and shank geometry, which improves compatibility with chucks and reduces setup time in professional environments.

Easier centring and lower feed forces

A 118° point angle reduces the size of the chisel edge and lowers friction during entry, which helps to centre the bit and requires less push force from the operator. For workshop users this means cleaner starts, fewer burrs and less chance of walk‑off on curved or coated surfaces. When working with common metal grades, the combination of the point geometry and HSS material delivers predictable cutting behaviour and longer usable life before regrinding is needed.

Optimised for Type N metal drilling and machine use

The Type N normal spiral geometry is the classic choice for metal drilling and was selected here to balance chip evacuation and cutting efficiency. This Twist Drill is specified for Drilling Machine operation and is equally suited for handheld machines where a short shank improves control. HSS manufacturing assures elasticity that reduces the risk of breakage on diameters below 6 mm while maintaining cutting performance in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron and many non‑ferrous materials.

Who benefits and typical applications

Maintenance technicians, toolroom operatives and metal fabricators benefit from the combination of Precision and durability offered by this short HSS Type N drill. Typical applications include through and blind holes in sheet metal, plate and machined components where stability and repeatable hole quality are essential. The black surface finish assists visual inspection and handling in busy workshop conditions.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill from MetavCUT Type N best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for metalworking tasks; it is ideal for drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron and many non‑ferrous metals when operated on a drilling machine or by skilled handheld use. Its short HSS design improves stability and accuracy in workshop operations.

Which three drill types exist?
Three common drill types are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for those materials.

For what is a Twist Drill generally used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and for larger hole diameters; its shape makes it straightforward to resharpen and it withstands significant loads during cutting. It is often chosen where durability and regrindability are required.
