MetavCUT Twist Drill — Type N short, 5.75 mm, 135°, Bright finished, HSS-G, DIN 338

The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N, short) is a precision HSS-G drill designed for stable, high-performance metal drilling in handheld and machine setups.

• Short design for increased stability
• HSS-G fully ground for sharp holes
• 135° Point angle for hard metals
• Suited for Drilling Machine use in metal
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standard reliability

Precision and force: ideal for demanding metal drilling

This short Twist Drill combines a 5.75 mm Diameter with a 135° Point Angle to reduce punch-in and improve guidance when working with hard materials. The HSS‑G (Ground High Speed Steel) material produces very sharp cutting edges after CNC grinding, resulting in clean, round holes and excellent concentricity. For operators this means fewer reworks and a consistently high hole quality when drilling steel, cast iron or alloyed metals.

Short length for stability and control

A shorter overall Length and reduced projection deliver measurable advantages: the reduced overhang lowers the risk of bending and chatter, which improves hole accuracy and tool life. The fully ground Shank ensures precise clamping in the chuck and consistent Runout. As a result, the short Type N design is particularly suited to precision tasks and machine-mounted operations where stiffness and repeatable performance matter.

Material suitability and recommended use cases

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is optimised for metalworking: suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast and spheroidal graphite iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The 135° tip is chosen for tougher materials because it shortens the initial bite and reduces axial forces. When working with stainless steel or other high‑strength alloys, use appropriate coolant and moderate speeds to preserve sharpness and avoid work hardening.

Practical tip and maintenance advice for longer life

Because these drills are ground rather than rolled, occasional regrinding is straightforward and restores the original geometry. Regrind to maintain the 135° Point Angle and symmetrical cutting lips to keep hole quality high. For best results in production settings, clamp the workpiece securely, use proper coolant and select feed and speed according to material charts—this reduces wear and prevents premature breakage.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N, short, HSS‑G) is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its ground geometry allows precise drilling in metals and hard plastics while withstanding greater loads.

Which three drill types exist?
Commonly distinguished drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category and is engineered for that application.

Why is the MetavCUT Twist Drill supplied with a 135° point angle?
The 135° Point Angle reduces axial entry force and improves centring in hard materials, which helps decrease Anbohrzeit and delivers a cleaner start hole when drilling stainless steels and other tough alloys.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used for drilling wood?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but it offers less guidance and a rougher finish compared with specialised wood bits; it is easier to resharpen and shows lower self‑feed characteristics than dedicated wood drills.
