Durable High Speed Steel for demanding metalwork

Built from HSS (High Speed Steel), this short Twist Drill provides a combination of elasticity and wear resistance ideal for standard metal drilling tasks. Because the bit is manufactured in accordance with DIN 338, customers benefit from a defined product geometry and proven production standards that support repeatable results. The material choice reduces the risk of breakage for smaller diameters and gives a dependable service life when used within its recommended applications.

Geometry that improves precision and stability

With a 6.9 mm Diameter, a Spiral Length of 63 mm and an Overall Length of 109 mm, this short configuration minimises overhang and vibration for more accurate holes. The 118° Tip Angle assists with centring on slightly curved or softer surfaces and reduces initial walking. Short length and compact geometry lead to higher stiffness, which translates into cleaner holes and less tool deflection during use.

Designed for metalworking with Hand Drills and machines

This Type N normal spiral is specifically intended for metal applications, making it well suited to Drilling Machines and Hand Drills when requiring precise, repeatable metal holes. The bit’s black finish and short execution aid handling and chuck grip, while the profile is optimised for common industrial and workshop tasks such as drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and some plastics.

Who benefits and how to maintain performance

Professionals and hobbyists who need a robust, general-purpose metal drill will value the stability and serviceability of this short HSS Twist Drill. For longevity, periodic re-sharpening restores the cutting geometry; the Type N profile is straightforward to regrind, keeping the drill centred and efficient. When in doubt about compatibility with specific materials or machines, MetavCUT and METAV Werkzeuge provide expert advice to ensure the right choice for the task.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill Type N from MetavCUT used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for drilling metal; it is designed for machining tasks in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron and similar materials where a stable short HSS tool is required.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common drill categories: Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for such applications.

What is a Twist Drill mainly used for?
The Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; its form allows easy regrinding and sustained performance under heavy loads.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the tip?
Tip sharpening reduces the cross cutting edge at the tip, which lowers friction and the required feed forces while improving centring of the drill in the workpiece.
