Twist Drill — Short Type N, 6.5 mm, TIN-coated HSS-G (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill short Type N is a precision metal-drilling bit for hand and drilling machines, engineered for stable, accurate holes in hard materials.

• Short design for high stability and precision
• 6.5 mm Diameter for standard metal holes
• 135° Point angle for harder materials
• TIN-coated HSS-G for extended tool life
• Fully ground shank for fast, clean drilling

High stability and longer tool life for demanding metalwork

Short-design Twist Drill bits combine a reduced overhang with superior rigidity, which minimizes vibration and deflection during drilling. The HSS-G substrate paired with a TIN-coated surface significantly lowers friction and wear; with appropriate cooling the coating helps to extend lifetime when machining alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast parts, copper alloys and hard plastics. This results in more consistent Hole Quality and fewer tool changes for production and workshop tasks.

Geometry optimised for hard materials and fast centring

A 135° point angle reduces walking and shortens the initial penetration time when tackling stainless steels and other tough metals. The fully ground flute geometry (HSS-G) produces sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy, giving cleaner chips and improved centring compared with rolled drills. Classified as Type N and conforming to DIN 338, this design is the classic choice for metalworking where repeatable, precise results are required.

Efficient performance with lower feed forces and robust construction

The shortened overall length and fully ground shaft reduce the required thrust and improve stability under load; tests of comparable ground HSS tools show up to 40% faster drilling and about 50% less feed force, which benefits battery-powered and portable drilling machines as well as stationary equipment. The combination of short geometry and the TIN-coated surface makes this bit particularly suitable for workshop applications where throughput and hole integrity matter.

Who benefits from this short metal drill bit and how to use it best

Workshops, maintenance teams and precision fabricators will appreciate the MetavCUT short Twist Drill when consistent hole diameter and surface finish are priorities. Use moderate spindle speeds, steady feed, and an appropriate coolant for alloyed steels to maximise the advantage of the coating and ground cutting edges. The bit is matched to hand and drilling machines and is recommended for metal drilling tasks up to typical diameters and depths encountered in mechanical assembly and repair.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for and which materials suit it best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily used for machining high-strength materials and larger diameters; its short design is especially suitable for precise metalworking. It performs well on alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, copper alloys and hard plastics. The geometry is easy to resharpen and withstands higher loads under proper cooling.

Which three drill types are there?
Typical categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill group (Type N), optimised for metal applications rather than soft wood or masonry.

Why are Twist Drills point-ground?
Point grinding reduces the cross-edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, lowering friction and therefore reducing the required feed force. At the same time the ground tip improves centring in the workpiece for more accurate hole starts.

Can the Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and hole finish are inferior compared with dedicated wood drills. The MetavCUT short metal drill is easier to resharpen and offers less self-feeding effect, so results in wood are possible but not optimal.
