Twist Drill by MetavCUT — Type N, 11.2 mm, 118° tip, HSS, short, black, DIN 338

A Twist Drill Type N designed for precision metal drilling with HSS construction and DIN 338 short execution

• MetavCUT Type N for precise metal drilling
• 11.2 mm diameter for common industrial holes
• Short design for improved stability and accuracy
• HSS construction for heat and wear resistance

Durable HSS construction for demanding metalworking

The HSS composition gives this Twist Drill lasting hardness and thermal stability under load. Because High Speed Steel retains cutting performance at elevated temperatures, the user experiences reduced tool wear and more consistent hole quality when machining Steel, Cast Iron or Non-Ferrous Metals. This material choice also facilitates easier regrinding, so the tool life can be extended through maintenance.

Stable short design and reliable centring for precise holes

A short overall length reduces deflection and improves accuracy during drilling, especially when using a hand or stationary Drilling Machine. The Type N normal spiral geometry together with the 118° tip angle offers good centring on slightly curved or softer surfaces while maintaining efficient chip evacuation. Conforming to DIN 338 ensures consistent dimensions and dependable performance in workshop routines.

Suited applications and target users for efficient workflows

This Twist Drill is intended primarily as a Drill for Metal, aimed at professional workshops, maintenance technicians and metalworking hobbyists who value repeatable results. The geometry and short execution make it particularly suitable for medium to high-strength steels and general-purpose metal fabrication, where rigidity and hole precision are required under frequent use.

Practical guidance to get the best results from the tool

To achieve optimal results with the short 11.2 mm HSS Twist Drill, use appropriate cutting speeds and apply light cutting fluid for tougher alloys to reduce heat and extend life. The classic Type N flute profile supports reliable chip removal; nevertheless, keeping feed forces steady and avoiding excessive side loads will minimise breakage risk. Regular inspection and professional resharpening restore cutting geometry and ensure continued centring.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for drilling into metal; its HSS construction and Type N spiral make it suitable for machining alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron and many non-ferrous materials, offering a balance of cutting performance and regrindability.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a hand-held drill?
Yes, the short execution of the MetavCUT Twist Drill provides greater rigidity and less deflection, making it appropriate for use in both hand-held Drilling Machines and stationary machines, provided correct speeds and feeds are observed.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied in the machining of high-strength workpieces and for larger drill diameters; its shape allows relatively easy sharpening and reliable performance under higher loads.

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-edge at the tip of a Twist Drill, significantly lowering friction and thus the required feed forces, while improving centring of the tip in the workpiece.

Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill such as this can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are generally inferior compared with dedicated wood drills; however, such metal drills are easier to regrind and have less aggressive self-feeding.
