Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) — HSS Type N, 4.75 mm, 118° tip, short, black, DIN 338

The Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) is a short HSS Type N metal drill designed for precise drilling with a 4.75 mm diameter and a 118° tip angle for reliable centring in handheld and machine applications.

• Short HSS Type N for high stability
• 4.75 mm diameter for precise metal holes
• 118° tip angle for improved centring
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent quality
• Black finish and short length for robust handling

Precision and stability for demanding metal work

This short twist drill is crafted to deliver stable, repeatable holes in metal. The reduced overall length reduces overhang and minimises deflection, so accuracy increases even under higher feed forces. For operations where rigidity matters, the compact geometry ensures improved hole roundness and positional accuracy. Professionals and hobbyists benefit from consistent results when working on steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals.

Material choice and standardisation for dependable results

Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel) and produced to DIN 338, the drill offers a balance of hardness and toughness suitable for many metalworking tasks. The HSS composition provides wear resistance and the possibility of re-sharpening, while the DIN classification guarantees dimensional and geometric conformity that supports predictable machining outcomes. This combination reduces the risk of premature failure during routine metal drilling.

Geometry that helps with centring and chip evacuation

The 118° tip angle and the classic Type N spiral form create favourable cutting conditions for general metalworking. A 118° tip is advantageous for reliable centring on slightly convex surfaces and for softer metals, reducing walking at the start of a hole. The flute geometry promotes chip evacuation during drilling, which helps avoid clogging in through-holes and contributes to smoother operation and longer tool life.

Intended use and practical handling advice

Designed primarily as a metal drill, this short twist drill is suited to both stationary drilling machines and hand-held drills provided the correct clamping and speeds are used. For best results, select lower cutting speeds for larger diameters and maintain steady feed to avoid excessive rubbing. Where very hard or abrasive alloys are involved, consider suitable coatings or alternative grades; for routine steel and non-ferrous materials, this HSS variant performs reliably.

Who benefits from this tool

Engineers, workshop technicians and maintenance professionals who require a compact, robust bit for accurate metal drilling will find this product advantageous. The short design suits constrained setups and repetitive production tasks where stability and re-sharpenability are priorities. The drill is intended for users comfortable with selecting appropriate speeds and clamping methods to match material and diameter.
