MetavCUT Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) — Type N, 3.6 mm, 135°, Short, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, DIN 338

The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) is a short, fully ground Type N drill bit designed for precision metalworking and stationary or portable drilling machines.

• Short, short design for higher stability
• Fully ground HSS‑G for clean, precise holes
• 135° tip optimized for hard materials
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills
• Bright finished shank for secure clamping

Durable HSS‑G construction for metalworking efficiency

The HSS‑G composition of this short twist drill combines high hardness with a ground geometry that produces clean, accurate holes in a range of metals. Because the flutes and cutting edges are produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling, the result is a sharp cutting edge and excellent runout accuracy, which reduces the need for rework. For operations in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steels and non‑ferrous metals, this material and finish deliver reliable performance and predictable tool life.

Short length for greater rigidity and precision

A reduced overall length and short flute length lower the unsupported overhang, increasing rigidity and reducing vibration during drilling. This design characteristic leads to improved hole quality and less tool deflection when machining harder materials. In practice, shorter drill geometry is particularly advantageous when using the drill in demanding machining tasks or in setups where concentricity and surface finish are critical.

135° tip and Type N spiral for hard materials

The 135° tip angle of this twist drill reduces the initial tendency to wander and distributes cutting forces over a larger area, which is beneficial when penetrating tougher materials such as stainless steel. As a Type N (normal spiral) geometry, the flute pitch and helix are optimised for metalworking, offering a balance between chip evacuation and cutting stability. For users unfamiliar with tip geometry: a larger tip angle shortens the entry time and improves centring on hard workpieces.

Fully ground shaft and bright finish for secure clamping

The fully ground shank ensures consistent diameter and concentricity, making the tool easier to clamp securely in standard chucks and toolholders. The bright finished surface facilitates smooth insertion and removal while minimising corrosion during storage. Together these features enhance setup reliability and reduce downtime caused by tool slippage or misalignment.

Applications and recommended use

This short twist drill is intended primarily for metal drilling on both stationary and portable drilling machines. Typical applications include holes in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials, sintered and tempered irons, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. Due to its ground geometry and material properties, the drill is best used with adequate coolant and in setups where rigidity can be maintained to avoid premature breakage.

FAQ

What is the primary use of the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) and where is it best applied?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer), a Type N short HSS‑G drill, is mainly applied for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters in metalworking; its ground geometry makes it especially suitable for precise holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel and other hard materials.

Which three drill types exist and how does the MetavCUT Twist Drill relate to them?
There are three main drill categories: metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for metalworking rather than wood or stone applications.
