Twist Drill Type N, Ø 10.25 mm, 118°, HSS, short, black, DIN 338 — MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metal drill designed for precise work with hand drills and drilling machines.

• Short design for increased stability and precision
• Made from roll-formed HSS for elasticity and strength
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylindrical shank drills
• 118° tip for reliable centring in metals
• Suitable for hand drill and stationary drilling machines

Greater Precision through a Short, Stable Design

A short Twist Drill reduces overhang and bending, delivering higher stability and more accurate results when working with metal. The reduced exposed length makes the tool less prone to deflection, which benefits precision tasks such as jig and fixture work or repeatable hole patterns. This construction also simplifies handling in confined spaces and when using a hand-operated drilling machine, giving consistent hole quality with less risk of chatter.

High-Performance Material for Metal Drilling

Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel), this twist drill combines elasticity with hardness for drilling a range of metals. The roll-formed production process improves toughness and reduces the chance of breakage, especially for hole diameters under 6 mm; for the 10.25 mm size this means balanced wear resistance and ductility. HSS is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics, providing versatility across workshop tasks.

Standardised Geometry for Reliable Results

Compliance with DIN 338 ensures the drill meets defined dimensions and tolerances for short cylindrical-shank drills, simplifying tool selection and replacement. The Type N normal spiral geometry is optimised for metalworking and offers reliable chip evacuation and cutting action. The 118° tip angle is chosen to aid centring on slightly curved surfaces and to perform well in softer metals, while still delivering good penetration and a clean entry.

Practical Use and Care Recommendations

For best results, use appropriate cutting speeds and steady feed when drilling steels and non-ferrous metals; applying cutting fluid extends tool life and improves surface finish. Start holes with a centre punch for guaranteed centring, and prefer clamping or fixturing the workpiece to avoid movement. The short overall length and 87 mm spiral length make this tool well suited for guided drilling setups and handheld operations where control and rigidity matter.
