Twist Drill — Short Type N, 1.5 mm, 118° Tip, TiN-coated, HSS-G, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill short Type N is a compact HSS-G metalworking drill for Drilling Machines, designed for stable, precise holes in a wide range of metals.

• Short Twist Drill design for enhanced stability
• HSS-G material for high wear resistance
• TiN-coated surface reduces friction and wear
• Fully ground shank for precise concentricity
• DIN 338 standard for metalworking reliability

High performance through material and coating

Engineered for demanding metalworking, this Twist Drill uses HSS-G (ground high-speed steel) to combine hardness and sharpness. The TiN-coated surface reduces friction and heat generation, which extends tool life and lowers wear during continuous operation. Compliance with DIN 338 assures consistent manufacturing tolerances and suitability for both stationary and portable drilling equipment. These material choices enable reliable results and predictable tool replacement cycles.

Precision and reduced runout for cleaner holes

A short overall length and a fully ground geometry minimise overhang and bending, which results in better concentricity and less radial runout. The 118° tip angle offers easier centring on curved or slightly uneven surfaces and is suited to a variety of metallic materials. With a spiral length of 18 mm and an overall length of 40 mm, the drill delivers controlled chip evacuation and stable cutting action, especially where tight tolerances and clean hole walls are required.

Faster drilling with lower effort

Compared with conventional HSS variants, the ground HSS design enables up to 40% faster drilling while requiring about 50% less axial force under suitable conditions. Reduced friction from the TiN coating further lowers cutting temperatures and tool wear. For best results in tougher alloys, use appropriate cutting speeds, lubrication or coolant and secure clamping; this drill is intended primarily for metal applications on compatible Drilling Machines.

Tailored for metalworking professionals and workshops

Designed as a Type N “normal spiral” twist drill, this short version excels in machining alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, copper, bronze, sintered iron and hard plastics. The combination of short reach and robust HSS-G material makes it a practical choice for toolrooms, maintenance departments and metal fabrication shops that prioritise precision and tool longevity. MetavCUT’s Profi Line emphasises repeatability and serviceability in industrial environments.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills from MetavCUT, specifically the short Type N metal drill, are mainly used for machining high-strength materials and larger hole diameters where stability matters. Their ground geometry and TiN-coated surface make them easier to resharpen and capable of withstanding higher loads, which is why they are often chosen for demanding metalworking tasks.

Which 3 drill types exist?
The main 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 metals rather than for wood or masonry.
