Twist Drill — Type N short, Ø 6.3 mm, 135° point, Bright finished, Fully ground, DIN 338, HSS‑G by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N short is a precision metal‑drilling bit with a 6.3 mm diameter and a 135° point angle, designed for stable, high‑accuracy work in hand drills and drilling machines.

• Short Type N Twist Drill for high stability
• Ø 6.3 mm HSS‑G fully ground cutting geometry
• 135° point angle for hard metals like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank ensures high concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for metal drilling

Reliable stability and precision for demanding metal jobs

The short design of this Twist Drill delivers increased Stability and reduced deflection during drilling, which is particularly valuable when working with hard or thick metals. Because the Out‑of‑chuck length is shorter than standard bits, vibration is minimised and the tool gives a more concentric hole. This construction makes the bit especially suitable for precise setups on a drill press or for accurate handheld operations where hole quality matters. The fully ground geometry ensures sharp cutting edges and consistent hole diameters.

Faster penetration and lower feed forces in hard materials

A 135° Point Angle reduces the tendency to wander and shortens the initial penetration phase on tough substrates. Combined with the HSS‑G (ground high‑speed steel) material, the bit requires noticeably less feed force, improving operator comfort and control. These features support efficient machining in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, grey iron, sintered iron and many non‑ferrous metals, enabling cleaner holes and longer tool engagement before loss of edge.

Suited applications and who benefits most

This Type N short Twist Drill is designed for professional metalworkers, toolroom staff and maintenance technicians who need reproducible, high‑quality holes in metals. It works well in both stationary drilling machines and robust hand drills for repair, assembly and fabrication tasks. The drill is optimised for metalworking scenarios rather than soft timber or masonry, offering a reliable choice where precision and repeatability are priorities.

Material, manufacturing and care for longer tool life

Being HSS‑G means the flute geometry and cutting edges are produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling, giving sharper edges and superior roundness, though with slightly higher brittleness. For best results use cutting fluid or coolant when machining steels, and avoid heavy interrupted cuts without support. The fully ground shank improves runout performance in chucks and collets and allows for easier regrinding when the geometry permits; regrinding should follow the original geometry to maintain the 135° point behavior and drilling quality.
