Twist Drill 4 mm — Type N, Short, 135°, Bright finished, HSS-G, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

A Twist Drill (Type N) engineered for precise metal drilling in Drilling Machines and stationary tool setups.

• Short version for greater rigidity in drilling
• 4 mm Diameter, 135° Point for hard metals
• Fully ground HSS-G for sharp, precise holes
• Complies with DIN 338 for short twist drills
• Optimised for Drilling Machines and stationary use

Greater efficiency and lower feed forces thanks to short design

The Twist Drill in a short execution offers a reduced overhang from the chuck, which increases stability and lowers the tendency to bend during machining. The HSS-G material combined with a ground flute geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires roughly 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. This results in faster cycle times on demanding metal tasks and reduces operator fatigue when working on repetitive holes.

Cleaner, more accurate holes through precise grinding and geometry

A fully ground flute geometry delivers very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, producing cleaner holes and improved dimensional accuracy. The 135° point is specifically suited for harder materials such as stainless steel and reduces initial chatter and skidding when starting a hole. For customers unfamiliar with point angles: a larger point angle spreads the cutting action over a broader area, shortening penetration time and improving centre holding on tough metals.

Standardised dimensions and classic Type N spiral for metalworking

Manufactured to DIN 338, this short Twist Drill follows recognised tolerances and dimensions for short cylindrical-shank metal drills. The Type N normal spiral is ideal for drilling a wide range of metals including alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and non-ferrous metals, as well as engineering plastics. Use in a Drilling Machine or on stationary toolholders ensures best performance; the geometry and finish are optimised for metalworking applications rather than soft-wood tasks.

Ideal users and handling advice for long tool life

Workshops, toolrooms and precision maintenance shops benefit most from this Standard Line product. Because ground HSS types can be more brittle than rolled alternatives, it is recommended to use the drill in stationary machines with adequate cooling and controlled feed rates to avoid breakage. The bright finished surface and fully ground shank assist with chip evacuation and ensure reliable gripping in chucks or collets, extending service intervals when used following proper machining practice.

FAQ

For what is a Twist Drill mainly used?
A MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily applied to machining high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; its geometry is easy to resharpen and withstands greater loads. This form is commonly used when working with metals, as it combines robustness with the ability to produce precise holes in demanding materials.

Which three drill types exist?
Typical broad categories are metal drills, wood drills, and masonry/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for metalworking rather than soft-wood or stone applications.
