Twist Drill — Type N, 6.7 mm, HSS, 118° Tip, Short, Black, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metalworking drill designed for Drilling Machines, delivering precise, stable holes in steel and other metals.

• Type N Twist Drill for metalworking
• HSS Material for high wear resistance
• 6.7 mm Diameter for precise holes
• 118° Tip for reliable centring
• Short design per DIN 338 for maximum stability

Durable High-Speed Steel for demanding metalwork

HSS (High Speed Steel) gives this Twist Drill excellent elasticity and wear resistance under demanding conditions. Because HSS is manufactured to withstand high cutting temperatures, the drill maintains edge hardness during continuous use, which reduces the risk of breakage when drilling holes below 6 mm diameter and improves service life on larger diameters. This material choice supports consistent performance when working with alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many Plastics.

Precise centring and consistent hole quality

The 118° tip angle is optimised for softer to medium-hard materials and helps the drill to centre reliably on slightly curved or uneven surfaces. A smaller tip angle reduces the initial bite and lowers the required feed force, which improves control during start-up and produces cleaner holes with reduced burr formation. For applications demanding tight tolerances, the short flute length and robust geometry contribute directly to repeatable, accurate results.

Designed for professional metalworkers and workshops

Engineered for workshop environments and machine use, this short Twist Drill offers increased rigidity and less deflection during operation. The compact configuration makes it suitable for precision jobs on lathes, pillar drills and other Drilling Machines where stability is essential. Professionals who prioritise accuracy and tool durability benefit from the combination of short design and HSS construction.

Standards, type and practical advantages explained

Compliant with DIN 338, this short Twist Drill follows the standard for short cylindrical-shank HSS drills and therefore matches common expectations for fit and performance. The designation Type N indicates the Normal spiral profile, a classic geometry optimised for metal drilling. Shorter overall length reduces chatter and improves concentricity; this makes the tool especially practical for applications where bending of the drill must be avoided and precise alignment is required.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials suit it best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for drilling metal; it is especially suited to high-strength materials and larger diameters because its form is simple to regrind and withstands higher loads, making it a reliable choice for demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
The three common drill categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal-drill category and is optimised for metalworking applications.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The point grind reduces the cross-cutting edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, which lowers friction and therefore decreases required feed forces; at the same time a pointed tip improves centring in the workpiece for more accurate drilling.

Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are typically worse than with a dedicated wood drill; however, metal drills are easier to regrind and exhibit lower self-feed, which can be an advantage in some situations.
