Twist Drill — Type N, Ø 6.3 mm, 118° point angle, short HSS, black, DIN 338 — MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metal-drilling bit designed for use in hand and drilling machines, offering precise, stable performance for metalworking tasks.

• Short HSS design for increased stability
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills
• 118° point angle for reliable centring on common metals
• Suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel and non-ferrous metals
• Black finish reduces glare and aids chip evacuation

Precision and durability for metalworking professionals

The short HSS construction of this Twist Drill provides enhanced stability and reduced deflection during machining, making it ideal for accurate holemaking. Manufactured to DIN 338 specifications, the reduced projection length minimises chatter and improves concentricity when drilling in steel and cast iron. This results in consistently round holes and longer tool life compared with longer, more flexible bits.

Versatile tip geometry that aids centring and feed

Equipped with a 118° point angle, this Type N bit balances entry behaviour and cutting forces for general-purpose metal drilling. The geometry supports easier centring on slightly curved or irregular surfaces and is effective across a range of common metals. For users seeking a classic “Normal Spiral” performance, this bit provides a dependable compromise between fast penetration and controlled cutting action.

Practical advantages for workshop and maintenance tasks

This short Twist Drill excels in workshop and maintenance environments where accessibility and rigidity matter. The compact overall length reduces the exposed shank, lowering the risk of bend or breakage under side loads. For repetitive repair or assembly work on machinery and metal components, the improved stiffness translates into fewer broken bits and a more predictable drilling process.

Material suitability and manufacturing benefits explained

Made from High Speed Steel (HSS), the bit is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics. HSS offers a favourable combination of hardness and toughness; roll-formed HSS variants reduce the risk of breakage for small-diameter drills and maintain edge integrity during standard metalworking operations. The Type N normal spiral is the classic choice for metal drilling and can be resharpened when necessary to extend service life.
