Introducing the Twist Drill — Short Type N, 3.3 mm, TIN-coated, HSS-G, 135° (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill short Type N is a precision metalworking drill designed for use with a Hand Drill or Drilling Machine and ideal for accurate holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel.

• Short design for higher stability and precision
• TIN-coated surface for reduced wear and friction
• Fully ground HSS-G shank for faster cutting
• 135° point angle for hard materials such as stainless steel
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Higher precision through reduced overhang and robust geometry

A shorter overall length delivers tangible benefits during machining: the short Twist Drill minimises cantilever action and therefore reduces vibration and tool deflection. This results in more concentric holes and improved surface finish when drilling metal. For users who require consistent hole quality in demanding jobs, the reduced length directly translates into fewer reject parts and less rework.

Longer tool life and reduced friction thanks to TIN coating

The TIN-coated surface (Titanium Nitride) lowers friction and increases thermal resistance during cutting, which slows wear on the cutting edges. Combined with the HSS-G substrate, this coating is particularly effective when drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron and copper alloys. The result is extended tool life under appropriate cooling and the ability to maintain cutting performance for longer production runs.

Faster penetration with a fully ground geometry

Because the flute geometry is produced by precision grinding, the fully ground HSS-G Twist Drill offers sharper cutting edges and higher runout accuracy than rolled variants. This enables up to 40% faster drilling rates and requires significantly less thrust force, improving machine and operator efficiency when working with tougher materials. For workshop and industrial environments, this means higher throughput with less operator fatigue.

Application range and recommended use

Designed as a Type N (normal spiral) drill, this short Twist Drill is optimised for metalworking operations on materials such as steel, cast iron, sintered iron, copper, bronze and hard plastics. The 135° point angle reduces initial entry forces and improves centring for hard workpieces like stainless steel. Use with adequate cooling and secure clamping is recommended to prevent premature tool wear or breakage.
