MetavCUT Twist Drill — Type N, short HSS, 5.8 mm, 118°, black, DIN 338

A MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N for precise metalworking with hand and drilling machines.

• Short design for enhanced stability
• HSS material for reliable metal drilling
• DIN 338 standard for short twist drills
• 118° point angle for easier centring
• Precision 5.8 mm diameter for accurate holes

Stable, precise metal drilling for demanding tasks

The HSS construction of this short Twist Drill ensures high hardness and good toughness for machining a wide range of metals. Thanks to the reduced free length, the short design minimises runout and bending, which improves stability during drilling and reduces the risk of breakage on small diameters. This makes the tool particularly suited to workshop use where repeatable, accurate holes are required.

Engineered geometry for faster centring and cleaner holes

A 118° point angle provides easier centring and controlled cutting when working on softer and medium-hard materials; the geometry reduces wandering on curved surfaces and speeds initial penetration. The 5.8 mm diameter combined with a spiral length of 57 mm and overall length 93 mm delivers a compact tool that is easy to position in a chuck or hand drill. The Type N normal spiral is optimised for metal, offering good chip evacuation and long tool life in standard drilling applications.
