Twist Drill (Type N) by MetavCUT — 11.3 mm, 118° tip, HSS, Short, Black, DIN 338

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS drill bit designed for precise metal drilling with hand drilling machines, offering improved stability and centring for demanding workshop tasks.

• Short design for high stability and precision
• HSS construction for resilience in metalworking
• 118° tip angle for reliable centring on curved surfaces
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardised short twist drills

Robust material for durable metalworking performance

Deriving strength from HSS (High Speed Steel), this twist bit delivers reliable wear resistance when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The hardened composition reduces deformation under load and enables repeated re-sharpening, so users benefit from a longer service life and consistent hole quality. This results in fewer tool changes and more continuous work progress in metal fabrication.

Short form factor for precise, vibration‑reduced drilling

A short design minimises overhang and improves rigidity, which significantly reduces wobble and vibration during operation. The compact geometry makes the bit particularly suitable for confined setups or fixture work where stability matters more than reach. Reduced deflection translates into straighter holes and better tolerance adherence in precision assemblies.

Tip geometry explained: easier centring and controlled feed

The 118° tip provides a balanced compromise between penetration and centring, making it well suited for softer metals and general metalworking tasks. A narrower tip angle aids initial bite and positioning, which simplifies manual alignment on curved or uneven surfaces. For users less familiar with drill geometry: a smaller tip angle generally helps with starting accuracy, while larger angles speed through harder materials.

Intended use and machine compatibility

Engineered for use with a drilling machine or hand-operated drill chucks, this Type N twist bit is optimised for machining steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics. The short flute length enhances control when working on bench-mounted drills or portable machines. For bulk or deep-hole applications, longer variants would be preferable; this short version focuses on repeatable precision in workshop and production environments.

Practical recommendation for everyday workshop use

Operators seeking a reliable general‑purpose metal drill will appreciate the combination of Type N geometry and DIN 338 conformity, which ensures predictable behaviour and compatibility with standard toolholders. The bit’s finish and geometry allow straightforward re-grinding when required, keeping maintenance simple and cost-efficient over the tool’s lifetime.
