Twist Drill — Short Type N, 5.6 mm, 135° Tip, HSS‑G, Bright Finished

The Twist Drill short Type N is a precision metalworking drill bit for Drilling Machine use, designed for stable, high‑performance drilling in hard and alloyed metals.

• Short design for higher stability and precision
• Fully ground shaft for excellent runout accuracy
• 135° tip angle optimised for hard materials
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short HSS twist drills
• Bright finished surface for corrosion resistance and visual inspection

Reliable high‑speed performance for demanding metalwork

The HSS‑G construction of this short Twist Drill delivers high cutting performance and durability when machining steels, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals. The ground flute geometry produces clean, precise holes and allows up to 40% faster drilling with roughly 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS variants, making it particularly efficient for production tasks where time and tool life matter. The compact overall length reduces chatter and bending, improving hole quality in tougher materials.

Greater stability and centring for exact bores

A shorter projection from the chuck gives this short Type N bit superior stability and reduced deflection, which is essential when drilling tight‑tolerance holes. The 135° tip angle lowers the initial entry forces and helps the drill to centre better in hard workpieces such as stainless steel. The typical “normal spiral” Type N geometry is intended for metal applications and balances chip evacuation with cutting action for reliable, repeatable results.

Designed for workshop and industrial applications

Manufactured to DIN 338, this Twist Drill is intended for use in both stationary and portable Drilling Machines in metalworking shops, tool rooms and maintenance departments. The fully ground shank ensures precise seating in the chuck and minimises runout, while the bright finished surface facilitates visual inspection for wear. This combination makes the bit suitable for professionals who prioritise accuracy and predictable performance.

Practical handling, sharpening and limitations

As a ground HSS tool, the bit offers very sharp cutting edges and high roundness, enabling neat bores and easier re‑grinding when resharpening is required. For best results and longevity, use appropriate coolant during prolonged cutting in hardened materials and avoid dry, high‑speed drilling without suitable machine stability. Although the Type N Twist Drill can be used in non‑metal materials, it is optimised for metals; for woodworking or masonry, specialised bits remain recommended.

FAQ

For what is the Twist Drill from MetavCUT primarily used?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill short Type N is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and for larger hole diameters; its short projection offers improved stability and precision. The ground geometry is easier to resharpen and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, tempered castings, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics.

Which three drill types exist?
Commonly distinguished drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill falls into the metal drill category and is optimised for metalworking tasks.
