Twist Drill — Type N, 8.75 mm, 118° point angle, short HSS, black, DIN 338

A Twist Drill Type N designed for precise metal drilling in drilling machines and hand drills.

• HSS short Twist Drill, DIN 338 compliant
• 8.75 mm Diameter with 118° point angle
• 125 mm Overall length for stable handling
• Type N normal spiral optimized for metal
• Black finish for improved surface protection

Precision and durability for demanding metalworking

This short HSS Twist Drill combines material toughness with a compact design to deliver reliable performance in metal applications. The HSS material provides high wear resistance and good elasticity, making the bit suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics. The short design reduces overhang and therefore vibration, which results in precise holes and a lower tendency to wander during drilling.

Stability and handling that improve machining accuracy

The reduced exposed length and 125 mm overall length increase stiffness and control when using a drilling machine or hand drill. The 81 mm flute length evacuates chips efficiently while maintaining rigidity, enabling consistent results in moderate deep holes. This combination supports clean hole geometry and repeatable centering, which is particularly important for workshop and maintenance tasks.

Designed to the DIN 338 short‑drill standard for industrial use

Manufactured to DIN 338, this short Twist Drill meets common shop standards for short spiral drills with cylindrical shank. The Type N normal spiral offers a reliable helix geometry for metal cutting, while the 118° point angle supports good centering behavior and is versatile across many metal types. For harder materials such as stainless steel, a steeper angle may be preferred, but the 118° point here balances penetration and chip formation for broad use.

Practical guidance and safe working tips

When working with this Twist Drill in metal, use appropriate spindle speeds and cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Start with lower speeds for larger diameters and increase coolant flow for heat management. Because the bit is a short version, it is less prone to bending — a benefit when precision is required. For occasional sharpening, the normal spiral geometry of this bit allows easier regrinding while retaining performance.
