Twist Drill (Type N) — Short HSS‑G, 3.7 mm, 135° Tip, Bright Finished by MetavCUT

A Twist Drill (Type N) for precision metal drilling, engineered as a short, bright finished HSS‑G tool for use in handheld Drilling Machines and stationary equipment.

• Short design for improved stability
• Ground HSS‑G for sharp edges and clean holes
• 135° tip for harder materials and reduced burrs
• Fully ground shank for precise concentricity

Maximum precision and proven material technology for metalworking

The short design combines a HSS‑G ground geometry with the stability benefits of reduced overhang, delivering more consistent concentricity and less deflection. Conforming to DIN 338, this construction provides sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy; the ground flutes produce clean, burr‑reduced holes in demanding alloys. One direct advantage is faster drilling progress in hard materials compared with conventional rolled drills, making the tool suitable where repeatable precision is required.

Best suited applications and machine compatibility

Designed primarily as a metalworking tool, the short Type N geometry excels in drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The 135° tip reduces initial cutting forces and improves centring in tougher workpieces, while the compact overall length and 39 mm spiral length lower vibration when used in handheld Drilling Machines or on stationary machines. This configuration supports precise hole placement and reduces the risk of wander on hard surfaces.

Handling advice and operating recommendations for longer tool life

A fully ground shank and precise flute geometry allow secure clamping and accurate runout; use of appropriate coolant and moderate cutting speeds extends tool life and mitigates brittleness inherent to ground HSS variants. The 70 mm overall length and short overhang favour operations with limited reach and high rigidity; where deep holes or interrupted cuts are required, ensure suitable pecking cycles and stable fixturing. If regrinding is needed, the ground form enables straightforward sharpening while maintaining the original cutting geometry.

FAQ

What is the primary use of the Twist Drill (Type N) from MetavCUT?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its ground geometry and short design make it particularly suitable for precise work in metals where clean holes and high accuracy are required.

Which three drill types exist and where does the MetavCUT Twist Drill fit?
Commonly distinguished drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill is a metal drill optimised for steel and similar materials.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the tip?
The tip sharpening reduces the cross‑cutting edge at the point, which lowers friction and required feed forces; this improves centring and reduces the operator's effort when using the MetavCUT Twist Drill.

Can metal drills be used in wood with the MetavCUT Twist Drill?
Metal drills like the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are typically inferior compared with wood‑specific bits; however, metal drills are easier to re‑sharpen and show less aggressive self‑feed.
