Twist Drill — Type N, 5.9 mm, HSS, Short, Black, 118° (DIN 338) by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is a short HSS Type N metalworking drill designed for precise drilling in Drilling Machines and Hand Drills across workshop and maintenance applications.

• Short HSS design for increased stability
• DIN 338 compliant for consistent quality
• 118° Tip for reliable centring
• Suited for Drilling Machine and Hand Drill
• Black finish for improved corrosion resistance

Precision and Stability for Metalworking

Manufactured as a short variant according to DIN 338, this Twist Drill offers enhanced stability and minimal deflection during machining. Because the protruding length is reduced, the tool runs truer in the chuck and transfers cutting forces more directly, resulting in straighter holes and longer tool life. This design is particularly beneficial when working with tougher materials where chatter and bending would normally compromise accuracy.

Tip Geometry Optimised for Reliable Centring

The 118° Tip provides a balanced compromise between fast penetration and good centring, making it well suited for softer steels, non-ferrous metals and general metalworking tasks. A narrower tip angle reduces the tendency to wander on curved or uneven surfaces, while the point geometry also lowers the initial radial forces so that drilling starts cleanly and precisely. This results in more accurate hole positioning and less rework.

High Speed Steel Construction for Durable Performance

Made from HSS (High Speed Steel), the drill combines toughness with wear resistance for typical metal drilling tasks. The roll-formed production method increases elasticity and reduces breakage risk in smaller diameters, while still allowing reliable performance in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and selected plastics. Users benefit from a tool that tolerates machining stresses and can be resharpened when necessary, prolonging service life.

Designed for Professional and Workshop Use

This Twist Drill supports both stationary Drilling Machines and portable Hand Drills, providing versatility for tradespeople and maintenance technicians. The black surface finish helps to delay corrosion and eases chip evacuation, while the Type N normal spiral geometry focuses on efficient metal cutting. For demanding tasks where stability and repeatable results matter, this tool delivers consistent performance.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials is it suited to?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily applied to metalworking; it is used especially for machining tougher materials and larger drill diameters where tool stability is essential. Its HSS construction allows effective drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and some plastics.

Which three drill types are commonly available?
The three main drill categories are Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Stone/Concrete Drill; the MetavCUT Twist Drill is classified as a Metal Drill suited to machining metals.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The point reduces the size of the cross-cutting edge at the tip. Pointing the Twist Drill significantly lowers friction and therefore the required feed force, while improving the drill tip’s ability to self-centre in the workpiece for cleaner starts.

Can the Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A Metal Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but it will typically have less guidance and produce a rougher finish than a dedicated Wood Drill. Metal drills are easier to resharpen and show less self-feeding, which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the task.

At which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A through-hole in solid material is often executed with a Twist Drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool.
