Twist Drill — Type N, Ø 6 mm, 118° tip, Short, Black, HSS, DIN 338, for Drilling Machine (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N short HSS bit for Drilling Machine is designed for precision metalworking and stable, repeatable holemaking.

• Short HSS design for increased stability
• 6 mm diameter for common metal holes
• 118° tip for precise centring
• Compliant with DIN 338 standard
• Black finish for improved corrosion resistance

Greater stability for more accurate metal holes

Kurz design and a reduced overhang provide noticeably better stability during machining. The short overall length reduces chatter and bending, which produces cleaner holes and extends tool life. This configuration is particularly advantageous when working on lathes or hand drilling machines where rigidity is essential. The result is higher repeatability and fewer rejects in series production.

HSS material engineered for demanding work

Made from HSS (High Speed Steel), the bit tolerates higher cutting speeds and maintains hardness at elevated temperatures. For standard metal-drilling tasks this material offers a good balance between toughness and wear resistance. Because HSS is roll-formed in many cases, the risk of breakage on small-diameter holes is reduced, making the bit suitable for steels, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics.

Designed tip geometry for reliable centring

The 118° point angle supports quick penetration and reliable centring on typical metal surfaces. A smaller point angle aids initial positioning on slightly curved workpieces, while still providing efficient chip removal during cutting. For users seeking predictable starts and consistent bore quality, this geometry reduces walking and improves surface finish from the first cut.

Applications and target users

This short Type N bit is optimised for metalworkers, toolrooms and maintenance workshops that require precise drilling in steel and iron. It is well suited for both stationary machines and hand-operated drilling units where rigidity and accuracy matter. The product addresses professionals and advanced hobbyists who prioritise tool life and hole quality over extreme penetration speed.

Practical advice for handling and re-sharpening

For best results clamp workpieces securely and use appropriate cutting fluid for metal drilling. The short flute length simplifies re-sharpening on conventional grinding wheels; when resharpening, maintain the original 118° angle to preserve centring behaviour. Regular inspection for wear and prompt resharpening ensure consistent performance and safer operation.

FAQ

What materials is the Twist Drill suitable for?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT (Type N, HSS) is intended primarily for metals such as steel, cast iron and non-ferrous alloys; it also performs on many engineering plastics while offering good wear resistance and cutting stability.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be re-sharpened?
Yes, the MetavCUT short HSS bit can be re-sharpened on conventional grinding wheels; preserving the original 118° point angle during re-sharpening maintains centring behaviour and prolongs service life.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high-strength materials and larger bore diameters; its form is easy to grind and endures higher loads, making it suitable for drilling in metals and demanding applications.

Which 3 drill types exist?
The three primary drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.
