Introducing the Twist Drill — short Type N, Ø 4.2 mm, 135°, TiN-coated, HSS-G, DIN 338

The Twist Drill short Type N for Drilling Machine delivers precision metal drilling with a TiN coating for extended tool life.

• Twist Drill Type N, Ø 4.2 mm
• 135° tip for harder materials
• TiN-coated HSS-G for extended tool life
• Short design for higher stability and precision
• Fully ground shank for faster, cleaner drilling

Longer life through advanced coating and material

The short HSS-G construction combined with a TiN-coated surface reduces friction and wear during Metal Drilling, resulting in a noticeably longer service life compared with uncoated tools. The Titanium Nitride layer acts as a thermal and abrasive barrier, so the tool maintains cutting performance when working on alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Copper, Bronze and engineering plastics. This means fewer tool changes and more uptime in workshops and production environments.

Short geometry for improved accuracy and stability

A reduced overhang from the short overall length and the 43 mm spiral length increases rigidity and minimises bending, producing cleaner, more concentric holes in demanding applications. The fully ground flute geometry enables up to 40 % faster drilling with 50 % less required thrust compared to conventional HSS drills, which translates into faster cycle times and lower operator effort when machining hard materials.

Designed for metalworking and demanding tasks

The Type N normal spiral and a 135° tip angle are optimised for cutting into harder materials such as Stainless Steel and Tempered components; the blunter tip shortens initial penetration time and improves centring on metal surfaces. Manufactured to DIN 338 for short twist drills and with CNC grinding of the flutes, the tool offers sharp cutting edges and high running accuracy—ideal for stationary and powered Drilling Machines when combined with adequate cooling to avoid thermal stress.

Who benefits and how to get best results

Workshops, maintenance teams and professional machinists benefit from the combination of short design and TiN coating, especially for precise bore holes in metals where repeatability matters. Best practice: secure the workpiece, use suitable coolant for metalworking, and select appropriate spindle speeds for a 4.2 mm diameter to preserve tool life and hole quality. The Profi Line execution emphasises performance and repeatable results in series production and repair tasks.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill from MetavCUT (Type N Twist Drill) mainly used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily applied to the machining of high-strength materials and larger drilling diameters; its geometry and coating make it suitable for Steel, Cast Iron and non-ferrous Metals. The short design and TiN coating enable durability under heavy load and the form is easy to re-sharpen while maintaining stability for demanding tasks.

Which three drill types exist and where does the MetavCUT Twist Drill fit?
The three common drill types are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal Drill category (Type N normal spiral) and is optimised for metallic materials rather than timber or masonry.
