Twist Drill – MetavCUT Profi Line short HSS‑G, 10 mm, 135°, Type N, TiN‑coated, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS‑G drill designed for precision metalworking with drilling machines, ideal for demanding applications in alloyed and unalloyed steel.

• Short HSS‑G design for increased stability
• TiN‑coated for extended tool life
• 135° tip for hard materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity

Precision and stability for demanding metalwork

A short, fully ground HSS‑G construction reduces the unsupported overhang and substantially improves Stability during drilling, which leads to straighter holes and reduced runout. The shortened geometry is specifically engineered to minimise bending and vibration when used in a Drilling Machine, making it especially suitable for shop environments that require repeatable, accurate results. This design advantage translates into less tool chatter and a better surface finish on the workpiece.

Longer life and reduced wear under high loads

The TiN‑coating provides a hard, low‑friction surface that lowers wear and helps to maintain cutting edge integrity during high temperature operation. When combined with appropriate coolant, the coating reduces friction and extends service life, allowing for more holes per tool before regrinding is necessary. Customers benefit from fewer tool changes and increased uptime when working with abrasive or alloyed steels.

Optimised tip geometry for hard materials

A 135° tip angle shortens the initial engagement time and centres the drill more reliably in tough substrates such as stainless steel. This geometry decreases the tendency to wander and reduces the required feed force, improving operator control and hole quality. The Type N normal spiral design remains the proven choice for metal drilling where a balance of chip evacuation and cutting action is required.

Clear advantages of a fully ground short drill

Being fully ground (HSS‑G) means the flute geometry and cutting edges are produced by grinding rather than rolling, delivering sharper cutting lips and higher concentricity. As a result, drilling speeds can be increased and the required thrust force is reduced compared to conventional HSS tools, which supports easier handling and faster cycle times in machining tasks. This attribute is particularly valuable in precision workshops working with cast or sintered metals.

Who benefits from this drill

Toolmakers, maintenance technicians and industrial workshops that mill or bore metallic components will find the MetavCUT Profi Line short Twist Drill a reliable choice. Its combination of HSS‑G substrate, TiN coating and short design makes it ideal for production environments where accuracy, longevity and efficient chip evacuation are priorities. For occasional users, the durability and ease of regrinding extend value over the tool lifetime.

FAQ

Can I use the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) for stainless steel?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill in Type N with a 135° tip and TiN coating is suitable for stainless steel; the geometry improves centring and the coating reduces wear when used with appropriate coolant.

How does the TiN coating affect the MetavCUT Twist Drill’s performance?
The TiN coating on the MetavCUT Twist Drill forms a hard, low‑friction layer that decreases heat build‑up and wear, allowing longer tool life and more consistent drilling results in metal applications.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and large drill diameters; its short version offers greater stability and precision, and the TiN‑coated HSS‑G variant withstands heavy loads while extending service life.

Which 3 drill types are there?
The three common drill types are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills.
