Twist Drill Type N, HSS short, Ø 11.1 mm, 118° tip, black, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

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

• Short design for greater stability
• HSS construction for high wear resistance
• Type N geometry optimised for metal drilling
• 118° tip for reliable centring and penetration
• Manufactured to DIN 338 for consistent quality

Precision and stability for demanding metalwork

This short Twist Drill offers enhanced stability through its reduced protrusion length, which minimises deflection during drilling. The combination of a 94 mm spiral length and a 142 mm overall length keeps the drill stiff in the chuck, making it particularly suitable for accurate through-holes in plate and thicker sections. For operations requiring repeatability, the reduced tendency to chatter results in cleaner holes and less rework.

Material performance and suitability explained

Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel), this drill balances hardness and toughness for machining a wide range of metals. HSS is produced to withstand elevated temperatures and maintain cutting edge integrity, which reduces the risk of breakage during standard metalworking tasks. The Type N helix is the classic choice for ferrous and non‑ferrous metals; its geometry supports efficient chip evacuation while remaining easy to regrind when resharpening is required.

Application scenarios and user benefits

Designed primarily for Drills for metal, the tool performs well in workshop environments using a Hand Drill or Drilling Machine. Professional metalworkers and maintenance technicians benefit from the drill’s reliable centring thanks to the 118° tip angle, which reduces walking on curved or coated surfaces. For precision assembly and maintenance tasks, the short version improves control and decreases the likelihood of tool breakage under lateral loads.

Why the short execution and DIN 338 matter

The classification under DIN 338 confirms this design as a short twist drill with a cylinder shank, optimised for machine and hand applications where rigidity matters. A shorter flute length increases stiffness and precision, making this execution preferable for demanding steelworking tasks. MetavCUT’s production emphasis on consistent geometry and surface finish helps ensure predictable performance in series drilling and single‑item fabrication.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is intended primarily for drilling metal; its HSS composition and classic Type N geometry make it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and many plastics, providing a reliable solution for workshop and maintenance tasks.

Can this Twist Drill be used with a hand drill?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill short execution is suitable for use with a Hand Drill as well as stationary Drilling Machines; the shorter overhang increases rigidity and reduces deflection when operated in portable equipment.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength workpieces and larger drilling diameters; its form is easy to grind and it withstands higher loads, which makes it the preferred choice for demanding metal drilling operations.

Which 3 drill types exist?
There are three common drill categories: metal drills, wood drills, and stone/concrete drills.
