Twist Drill — Type N, 19 mm, 118° tip, Short, Black, HSS, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metalworking drill with a 19 mm diameter and 118° tip, designed for precise drilling with a Hand Drilling Machine in workshop and industrial environments.

• Short HSS construction for stable drilling
• 19 mm diameter for medium-sized metal holes
• 118° tip for reliable centring and entry
• DIN 338 standard ensures consistent quality
• Suitable for Hand Drilling Machine applications

Enhanced stability and precise hole quality for metalworking

A short design reduces overhang and increases rigidity, resulting in more accurate holes and less runout when used in a hand or portable drilling setup. The combination of HSS material and the compact geometry minimises bending and chatter, which leads to consistently better hole quality in both alloyed and unalloyed metals. This makes the tool particularly well suited for tasks requiring dimensional accuracy and repeatability.

Optimised geometry and material for general metal applications

The Type N geometry is the classic twist profile for metal drilling; paired with a 118° tip, the drill balances easy penetration and good centring on flat and slightly curved surfaces. Manufactured to DIN 338, this short Twist Drill is intended for machining steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics in standard shop operations. HSS (High Speed Steel) provides toughness and thermal resistance for routine metalworking, especially for hole diameters under heavier loads.

Designed for professionals and demanding workshop use

Crafted for technicians and metalworkers, the MetavCUT Twist Drill combines robustness with user-friendly handling when fitted into a Hand Drilling Machine. The reduced overall length improves control during manual drilling operations and eases alignment in fixtures. For production or maintenance tasks that require dependable performance without complex tool setups, this drill offers a practical and efficient solution.

Maintenance, sharpening and safe handling

The short Twist Drill geometry simplifies resharpening and prolongs service life when maintained correctly. Regrinding the point preserves the original 118° angle and keeps centring reliable; this reduces feed forces and thermal stress during operation. Appropriate cutting fluid and moderate feed rates increase lifetime, while routine inspection for wear prevents poor hole quality. For complex tasks or uncertainty about reconditioning, METAV Werkzeuge provides expert advice and support.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily intended for general metal drilling tasks; its HSS construction and Type N geometry make it suitable for drilling steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals, providing reliable performance in workshop and maintenance environments.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill is mainly applied to machining high-strength materials and larger bore diameters; its form is easy to regrind and endures greater loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking operations.

Which three drill types exist?
Commonly distinguished drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal-drill category and is optimised for machining metallic materials.

Why are Twist Drills pointed (reamed tip)?
The point grind reduces the chisel edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, which significantly lowers friction and thus requires less feed force; at the same time the sharpened point improves centring in the workpiece for a more accurate start.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with dedicated wood drills; the metal drill is easier to resharpen and shows less self-feeding, yet hole quality may be less clean.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most used?
A through-hole in solid material is typically produced with a Twist Drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most commonly used tool for such applications.
