Twist Drill — Type N, Diameter 5 mm, 118° Point Angle, HSS, Short, Black, DIN 338, MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metal drill designed for precise drilling in metal using hand or drilling machines.

• Short Design for high stability
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent dimensions
• HSS material for elastic toughness on small diameters
• 118° Point Angle for reliable centring in softer metals
• Suitable for hand and drilling machines

Greater accuracy through a short, stable design

A short HSS construction reduces overhang and significantly improves stability during drilling, which means fewer deflections and cleaner holes in steel and non‑ferrous metals. The reduced free length of the shank makes the bit better suited to tasks that demand precision rather than reach, especially when used with portable or benchtop drilling equipment. For operators seeking dependable repeatability, this geometry minimises chatter and supports tighter hole tolerances.

Easier centring and lower drilling forces with a 118° tip

The 118° point angle is tuned for efficient entry into softer metallic materials and for quick centring on curved or uneven surfaces. A sharpened tip reduces the cross‑cut width at the very tip, lowering friction and thus the required feed force; this improves guidance during start‑up and reduces the risk of walking. For users, that means smoother starts, less effort and a neater finish on workpieces such as Aluminium, mild Steel and various non‑ferrous metals.

Application range and user benefits for metalworking

This Type N Twist Drill is primarily intended for drilling in metal and performs well on alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Plastics. The roll‑formed HSS manufacturing process imparts elastic toughness that helps to prevent breakage when drilling holes below about 6 mm diameter, making it a sound choice for workshops, maintenance teams and production environments where small‑diameter metal holes are common. Regrinding is straightforward, extending the service life for skilled users.

DIN 338 conformity ensures compatibility and quality

Manufactured to the DIN 338 specification for short cylindrical‑shank twist drills, this product adheres to established dimensional and execution standards. That guarantees interchangeability with fixtures and chucks and gives assurance about tolerances and shaft form. For buyers, that means predictable fitment in standard drill chucks and consistent performance across batches, supporting quality assurance in professional settings.
