Twist Drill — Type N, Ø 9.5 mm, 118° tip, Short HSS, Black, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS drill designed for metalworking and manual drilling machines, offering precise starts and high stability in demanding workshop applications.

• Short Type N design for improved rigidity
• High-performance HSS material for metal drilling
• 118° Tip for reliable centring and clean entry
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills
• Suitable for use with Hand Drill and Drilling Machine

Precision and material strength for exact metal holes

This short twist drill is manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel), a material chosen for its combination of hardness and elasticity that reduces breakage risk when drilling small diameters. The HSS composition makes it suitable for a range of metals including alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many Plastics. By using a roll-walden or ground production according to the standard, the result is a durable cutting edge that maintains sharpness and extends tool life while delivering consistent hole quality.

Short length increases stability and drilling accuracy

Thanks to the Short overall design specified in DIN 338, the exposed length beyond the chuck is minimised, which significantly reduces vibration and deflection. This higher rigidity improves concentricity and repeatability when working on tough materials, especially in manual or portable setups. For tasks where precise hole geometry matters, the shorter flute and reduced overhang translate directly into fewer rejects and less post-processing.

Tip geometry and spiral length optimised for metal

The 118° Tip Angle supports easier penetration and improved centring on curved or slightly uneven surfaces, which helps to avoid wandering at the drill entry. Combined with a Spiral Length of 81 mm and an Overall Length of 125 mm, the geometry is balanced for efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting when used in a Hand Drill or similar Drilling Machine. The Type N Normal Spiral profile is the classic choice for metalworking, offering dependable performance for standard hole diameters.

Who benefits from this tool and how to use it safely

Workshops, maintenance technicians and hobbyists who require reliable metal drilling will value the combination of Type N geometry and HSS material. For best results, clamp workpieces securely, use appropriate cutting fluid for heat reduction, and select suitable speeds for the 9.5 mm diameter. The short design also makes re-sharpening straightforward; the shape lends itself to simple grinding while retaining the correct helix for efficient chip removal.
