Twist Drill — Short HSS-G Twist Drill, 5.9 mm, 135°, Type N, Bright Finish, Short, DIN 338

A Twist Drill designed as a Short HSS-G Type N for precise metal drilling with portable and stationary Drilling Machines.

• Short design for higher stability in tight setups
• 135° tip optimised for hard materials such as stainless steel
• HSS‑G ground geometry for clean, precise holes
• Fully ground shank for reliable concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylinder‑shank drills

Improved accuracy when drilling hard metals

The short HSS‑G configuration reduces overhang and vibration, delivering noticeably better hole quality in demanding materials. With a 135° tip, the drill penetrates harder steels with less wandering, while the ground flute geometry produces clean chips and consistent hole diameters. For machinists and maintenance professionals this means fewer reworks and higher first‑pass accuracy when working with cast iron, alloyed and unalloyed steels.

Greater stability and easier handling in tight setups

A reduced overall length and shorter protrusion from the chuck increases stiffness and reduces bending under load. The fully ground shank improves runout and seating in the chuck, which is especially valuable for precision assemblies and toolroom work. This short twist drill is therefore well suited to stations where rigidity and repeatability are required, for example toolmaking, repair shops and production cells.

Practical guidance and maintenance for long service life

The Type N normal spiral and HSS‑G designation mean the bit is ground (not rolled) for sharp cutting edges and high concentricity; however the brittle quality of ground HSS recommends controlled feeds, appropriate cutting fluid and moderate speeds. Regrinding is straightforward because of the standard geometry. For best results use coolant when drilling deep or tough alloys and avoid excessive feed spikes to reduce breakage risk.

FAQ

What makes the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for hard metals?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill in Short HSS‑G execution combines a 135° tip and ground cutting geometry that reduce wandering and improve chip formation, making this Type N drill particularly effective when working in hard or alloyed steels and cast materials.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in handheld drills and machines?
Yes, the MetavCUT Short Twist Drill is designed for use with both portable and stationary Drilling Machines; the short overhang and fully ground shank improve stability and concentricity when clamped in chucks.

What are Twist Drills mainly used for?
Twist Drills are primarily employed for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; their shape is easy to regrind and they withstand substantial loads.

Which three drill types exist?
The three main drill families are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills.
