Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) — Type N, 11 mm, 118° Tip, Short HSS, Black, DIN 338 — MetavCUT

A Twist Drill by MetavCUT designed for metalworking with a Drilling Machine and short overall length for stable, precise holes.

• Short HSS design for high stability
• Type N normal spiral for reliable metal drilling
• 11 mm Diameter with 118° Tip Angle
• Complies with DIN 338 standard
• Black finish for easy identification

Precision and Stability for Metalworking Tasks

This Twist Drill from MetavCUT combines High Speed Steel (HSS) with a short design to deliver enhanced stability when working on metal. The reduced overhang and a compact Spiral Length of 94 mm lower the tendency to wander or bend, improving concentricity and hole quality in demanding setups. HSS is chosen for its elasticity and wear resistance; for common Metalworking tasks it reduces the risk of breakage, especially for hole diameters under 6 mm, while still performing reliably at 11 mm when used with appropriate speeds and feeds.

Better Centering and Lower Cutting Forces Thanks to the 118° Tip

A 118° Tip Angle supports easier centering on slightly curved or coated surfaces and reduces the initial driving-in force compared with steeper angles. For users less familiar with Tip Angle theory: a smaller angle concentrates cutting action at the very tip for accurate starts, whereas larger angles spread the cut and can shorten machining time in very hard materials. For the Type N normal spiral geometry of this bit, the 118° configuration offers a good compromise between entry behavior and chip evacuation during metal drilling.

Engineered for Machine Use and DIN 338 Compliance

Conforming to DIN 338, this short Twist Drill with Zylindershaft is optimised for use in both stationary and portable Drilling Machines, delivering repeatable performance in industrial and workshop environments. With an Overall Length of 142 mm and a robust Type N flute geometry, the design prioritises stability and precise machining. The combination of Diameter 11 mm, Spiral Length 94 mm and hardened HSS material makes the bit suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals when selected with correct cutting parameters.

Who Benefits and Typical Applications

Manufacturers, maintenance technicians and serious hobbyists who require dependable metal-drilling performance will appreciate this MetavCUT Twist Drill. The bit is intended primarily for Metalworking operations where precision, reduced vibration and easy regrinding capabilities are valued. The normal spiral Type N excels on steels, cast iron and many non-ferrous alloys, while the short execution supports drilling in setups with limited clearance or where runout must be minimised.

FAQ

Is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for handheld drilling machines?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) can be used in a handheld Drilling Machine, but its short design and HSS Material deliver best results in stable setups; for repetitive precision holes a stationary machine is recommended.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be resharpened after wear?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill made of HSS can be resharpened by a competent operator; the short execution and normal spiral geometry make resharpening straightforward while preserving centring behavior.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high-strength workpieces and for larger drilling diameters; the geometry is easy to grind and can withstand higher loads, making it suitable for demanding Metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
Common drill categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross-cut at the tip of the Twist Drill; by grinding the tip the friction forces are significantly lowered which reduces required feed force and improves the drill’s centring in the workpiece.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal drill can also be used in wood, but it offers weaker guidance and a less clean finish compared with dedicated wood drills; metal drills are easier to regrind and have lower self-feeding tendencies.

At which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A full-through hole is typically made with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general belief that HSSE steels are always superior to standard HSS is incorrect; assess whether the working conditions justify the higher acquisition cost before choosing HSSE over HSS.
