Twist Drill — Type N short, Ø 9 mm, 118° tip, black, HSS, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N short is a high‑stability HSS metal drill designed for precise holemaking in steel and other metals with a 9 mm diameter and a 118° tip angle.

• Short HSS design for enhanced stiffness
• 9 mm diameter for standard metal holes
• 118° tip for reliable centering
• Complies with DIN 338 for short twist drills
• Black finish for corrosion resistance

Precision and durability from HSS material

High Speed Steel (HSS) gives this Twist Drill outstanding elasticity and resistance to fracture during common metalworking tasks. The HSS composition is especially suitable for drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics, providing dependable tool life under typical workshop conditions. The short execution reduces flex and vibration, resulting in consistently round holes and longer tool service intervals.

Better control and centering with a 118° tip

A 118° point angle improves centering on curved or slightly irregular surfaces and reduces walking at the drill start, which is useful when producing clean, accurate holes in softer steels and aluminium. Because the tip geometry affects feed forces and heat generation, this configuration balances penetration speed and control for general metalworking. Users benefit from fewer re‑drills and faster set‑up when precision is required.

Stable short design according to DIN 338

Manufactured to DIN 338, the short twist drill format prioritises stiffness and dimensional accuracy. This Type N short design minimizes overhang from the chuck, lowering the risk of bending and enabling higher feed rates on both portable and stationary drilling machines. MetavCUT’s adherence to this standard means predictable performance and interchangeability with other DIN‑compliant tooling in professional environments.

Practical use recommendations for workshop and on‑site work

When using this MetavCUT Twist Drill in a drilling machine or a hand drill, moderate cutting speeds and steady feed ensure optimal results; excessive speed can shorten tool life. For holes up to moderate depths, the short overall length (125 mm) and spiral length (81 mm) improve chip evacuation and reduce runout. Professionals and serious hobbyists will appreciate the combination of robustness and ease of resharpening that HSS tools offer.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N short best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N short is intended primarily for drilling metal; it excels in producing accurate holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals thanks to its HSS construction and short, stiff geometry.

Can this Twist Drill be used in a hand drill?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill short execution can be used in a hand drill or a drilling machine, but best results come from steady speeds and controlled feed to maintain centering and to avoid excessive wear.

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills are mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters. Their form allows straightforward resharpening and sustains higher loads; the design suits metalworking and larger bore tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three principal drill types: Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills.
