Twist Drill Type N — 10.3 mm, HSS, short, 118° tip, black, DIN 338, MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metal drill engineered for precise, stable holes in steel and other metals with hand drills and drilling machines.

• Short HSS design for improved stability
• 10.3 mm diameter for precise metal holes
• 118° tip angle for reliable centring
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Precision and durability for metalworking tasks

This short Twist Drill from MetavCUT combines HSS material with a classic Type N spiral to deliver dependable performance in metal drilling. The HSS composition provides elasticity and toughness, reducing the risk of breakage during standard drilling operations, especially for hole diameters under 6 mm. The 118° tip angle supports easier entry into softer metals while maintaining good centring behaviour, and the short geometry improves stiffness for controlled, accurate machining.

Stable drilling thanks to short design and DIN 338 conformity

The reduced overhang of the short configuration increases rigidity and minimises deflection during drilling, making it particularly suitable for precise work on steel and cast iron. Conformity with DIN 338 guarantees standardised dimensions and production characteristics for short twist drills with a cylindrical shank. This design choice supports consistent results on stationary and portable machines and offers a practical compromise between tool life and ease of regrinding.

Clear suitability and recommended applications

Designed for metalworkers, maintenance technicians and workshop environments, this twist drill excels in machining alloyed and unalloyed steel, non-ferrous metals and many plastics. The 10.3 mm diameter together with a flute length of 87 mm and an overall length of 133 mm provides a balance between penetration depth and stability for common metalworking tasks. The black finish and short execution support easy handling in manual drilling operations and in drilling machines where precise hole quality matters.
