Twist Drill — Short HSS‑G Type N, 5.2 mm, 135° (TIN‑coated)

The Twist Drill Type N is a short, fully ground HSS‑G drill designed for precision metalworking with drilling machines, offering high stability and wear resistance.

• Short design for increased stability
• TIN‑coated for extended tool life
• Fully ground HSS‑G for fast, clean holes
• 135° point angle for hard metals and stainless steel
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent quality

Faster, more efficient metalworking with reduced effort

The short geometry of this tool increases stability and reduces deflection during drilling, which translates directly into more accurate holes and less rework. The fully ground HSS‑G geometry enables drilling up to 40% faster while requiring roughly 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills, so operators benefit from higher throughput and lower physical strain. These performance gains are particularly relevant in production environments where consistency and speed matter.

Coating and material that extend tool life under load

A TIN‑coating (Titanium Nitride) provides a hard, low‑friction surface that reduces wear and lowers heat generation when used with appropriate cooling. Combined with the HSS‑G substrate, this finishing is especially suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast and sintered irons, copper, bronze, nickel silver and hard plastics. The coating helps to preserve cutting edges and extends service life under demanding conditions, provided a coolant system is used to further minimise friction and thermal stress.

Geometry and standardisation for reliable results

The Type N normal spiral and a 135° point angle make this drill optimised for harder materials such as stainless steel, where a flatter tip reduces walking and shortens plunge time. Being produced to DIN 338 for short twist drills ensures repeatable dimensions and quality across batches. The term “fully ground” means that the flute geometry is ground rather than rolled, giving sharper cutting edges and higher concentricity; this improves hole quality but requires careful handling since ground drills can be more brittle than rolled equivalents.

Ideal applications and user guidance for best outcomes

Designed for use in drilling machines, this short Twist Drill is best applied where precision and rigidity are required, such as toolrooms, small‑batch production and maintenance work on metal components. Use steady clamping, moderate spindle speeds and an appropriate coolant to maximise life and hole quality. Because ground HSS drills can be more prone to fracture under shock loads, stationary or well‑supported setups are recommended for the most consistent results.
