Twist Drill — Type N short HSS drill, 13 mm, 118°, black, DIN 338

The Twist Drill by MetavCUT is a short Type N HSS drill designed for precise metal drilling in Drilling Machines and hand drills.

• Short HSS design for increased stability
• 13 mm diameter for common metal applications
• 118° point angle for reliable centring on curved surfaces
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylindrical shank drills
• Suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel and non‑ferrous metals

Precision and stability for demanding metalwork

The short HSS construction of this drill combines stiffness and durability to reduce bending and vibration during machining. With a 13 mm diameter and 118° point angle, the tool offers reliable centring and controlled entry into the workpiece, which is particularly beneficial when drilling in metal. The compact length minimises overhang, translating into better hole quality and repeatable accuracy on both stationary and portable drilling machines.

Material advantages and application scope

Manufactured from High Speed Steel (HSS), this short Type N twist drill is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics. The HSS material provides toughness and heat resistance during continuous drilling, while the Type N “normal spiral” geometry is optimised for metalwork. This makes the drill a dependable choice for workshop tasks where wear resistance and easy re‑grinding are desirable.

Standard conformity and what it means for users

Conforming to DIN 338 guarantees that the drill follows established dimensions and tolerances for short drills with cylindrical shanks, ensuring compatibility with standard chucks and tool holders. The Type N designation denotes the classic metal‑drilling spiral suitable for general steel applications. For users with less technical background: DIN 338 assures interchangeability and predictable performance, while the point angle of 118° balances fast penetration and centration for softer metals and general engineering tasks.
