Twist Drill (Type N) — Short HSS‑G, 4.1 mm, 135°, Bright Finished, DIN 338 by MetavCUT

A Twist Drill (Type N) in short execution for precise metal drilling with a 4.1 mm diameter and a 135° point angle, suited for use in Drilling Machines and Hand Drills.

• Short execution for increased stability and precision
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• 135° point angle optimised for hard materials
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short HSS twist drills

Outstanding drilling performance and faster cycle times

The short Twist Drill in HSS‑G combines a reduced overhang with a ground flute geometry to deliver high stability and precision when machining metal. Shorter projection reduces the tendency to deflect, which translates into cleaner holes and longer tool life under comparable conditions. The ground design provides very sharp cutting edges and excellent runout accuracy, enabling up to 40% faster drilling speeds and requiring up to 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS versions when used with suitable machining parameters.

Robust geometry for demanding materials

With a 135° point angle and the classical Type N spiral, this drill is optimised for harder materials such as stainless and alloyed steels. The larger point angle shortens the initial entry phase, improving centring and reducing chatter on tough surfaces. The fully ground shank and CNC‑ground flutes ensure consistently accurate centring and repeatable hole quality, making it ideal for precision metalworking tasks in production and repair environments.

Practical design for workshop and machine use

Designed to the DIN 338 standard for short twist drills with cylindrical shank, this tool is intended primarily for stationary or mobile machine applications where high concentricity is required. The short length and bright finished surface facilitate handling and inspection, while the overall length of 75 mm and spiral length of 43 mm suit common drilling depths without unnecessary flex. The Type N geometry focuses on metalworking, not soft woods or masonry.

Who benefits from this Twist Drill

Engineers, maintenance technicians and metalworkers who demand precise, repeatable holes in alloys and steels will value the combination of HSS‑G material and short design. The drill is particularly useful where tool rigidity matters—small bores in hardened or cast materials and jobs on bench drills or portable drilling machines where minimising deflection improves final part quality. For tasks requiring high surface finish and tight tolerances, this drill provides reliable performance.

FAQ

What is the primary use of the Twist Drill from MetavCUT (Type N)?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; its ground geometry makes it easy to regrind and it withstands higher loads, which suits it for demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types exist and how does the MetavCUT Twist Drill fit in?
Common categories are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) belongs to the metal drill group and is designed specifically for steels and similar materials.

Why are Twist Drills point‑sharpened?
Point‑sharpening reduces the chisel edge at the tip, lowering friction and the required feed forces while improving centring of the drill in the workpiece for the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N).

Can a metal Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill from MetavCUT can be used in wood, but guidance and surface quality are inferior compared with dedicated wood drills; however, metal drills are easier to regrind and have lower self‑feeding tendency.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A through hole is typically made with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to about 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool, including the MetavCUT short HSS‑G versions.

Is HSS or HSSE better for my application?
The notion that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not universally true; evaluate working conditions and material specifics before choosing, and consult Metav Werkzeuge for tailored advice on whether the MetavCUT HSS‑G Twist Drill is appropriate.
