Twist Drill Type N (HSS, 4.9 mm, 118° tip, short, black, DIN 338) by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is a short Type N metal drill designed for precise holemaking in steel and other metals when used with a hand drill or drilling machine.

• Short HSS design for high stability
• DIN 338 compliant for consistent quality
• 118° tip angle for reliable centring
• Type N spiral optimised for Metal drilling
• Suitable for Hand Drills and Drilling Machines

Greater Precision and Less Deflection for Metalworking

Short, roll-formed HSS construction and the compact geometry deliver improved stiffness compared with longer bits, so holes stay true even under side loads. Users benefit from reduced runout and better positional accuracy when working on steel, cast iron or non-ferrous Metal, because the shorter overhang minimises vibration and bending. This makes the bit particularly suitable for demanding workshop tasks where consistent hole diameter and alignment matter.

Tip Geometry That Eases Start and Keeps Centre

A 118° tip angle provides a balanced compromise between fast penetration and secure centring on curved or mildly uneven surfaces. The reduced querschneide resulting from careful pointing lowers friction during entry, so less feed force is required and the bit centres more reliably. For operators with limited setup aids, this tip geometry simplifies starting the hole and reduces the chance of walking on sheet or slightly convex workpieces.

Robust Material and Easy Reconditioning

Manufactured from High Speed Steel (HSS), the bit combines toughness with the possibility of economical resharpening. HSS offers elasticity that reduces fracture risk in diameters below typical thresholds and is appropriate for alloyed and unalloyed steel as well as many non-ferrous materials and plastics. Regular sharpening restores cutting edges efficiently, extending service life while keeping performance consistent for repetitive tasks.

Tailored for Workshop and Maintenance Use

This short Type N spiral is specified under DIN 338, which defines short twist drills with cylindrical shank for metalworking. The configuration is aimed at professionals and skilled hobbyists who need a reliable everyday metal drill for general maintenance, fitting or fabrication work. Because of its sturdy design, the bit is well suited to both stationary and portable drilling where stability and repeatable results are priorities.
