MetavCUT Twist Drill — short HSS‑G, 6.7 mm, 135° (Type N, DIN 338), bright‑finished

A Twist Drill from MetavCUT for precise metal drilling in Drilling Machines, optimised as a short execution for stability and clean holes.

• Short design for high drilling stability
• HSS‑G ground geometry for sharper cutting edges
• 135° point angle suited to harder materials
• Fully ground shank for improved concentricity
• Manufactured to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Precision and strength for demanding metalwork

The Twist Drill in HSS‑G combines a hardened cutting geometry with a 135° point angle to improve entry into tougher materials. With a diameter of 6.7 mm, this Type N drill offers the classic normal spiral geometry that is particularly effective for metalworking. The ground flute profile produces consistent chips and clean bore finishes, so holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and non‑ferrous metals show reduced burring and improved dimensional accuracy.

Short length for greater stability and faster operation

Designed as a short execution, the spiral length of 69 mm and an overall length of 109 mm limit overhang and minimise bending. This higher rigidity translates into more stable drilling and better concentricity when used in Drilling Machines. The ground HSS construction enables significantly increased feed performance — the manufacturer notes drilling speeds up to 40% faster and reduced required feed force — making the tool ideal where rapid, accurate holes in hard materials are required.

Ground geometry and conformity to standards for predictable results

The fully ground manufacture (HSS‑G) creates sharp cutting edges and high run‑out accuracy, while the Type N normal spiral provides reliable chip evacuation for metal applications. Conformance with DIN 338 means the drill adheres to standardised dimensions and tolerances for short twist drills with cylindrical shanks. For workshop use, the ground design improves centre accuracy but can be more brittle than rolled variants, hence machining with appropriate coolant and controlled feed is recommended.

Best uses, material compatibility and handling recommendations

This short Twist Drill is intended primarily for metal: alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Cast components, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics. Use in stationary or mobile Drilling Machines is supported; for the best lifetime keep a steady feed, apply suitable cutting fluid and avoid excessive lateral loads. The bright‑finished surface and fully ground shank ensure easy seating in the chuck and consistent concentricity for precision operations.

FAQ

What is the primary use of the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N)?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for metalworking; it is designed for drilling high‑strength materials and larger metal diameters where a robust, normal spiral geometry provides consistent chip removal and reliable hole quality.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used for different metals and plastics?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Cast components, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics, with best results when used with appropriate coolant and controlled feed.

For what tasks are Twist Drills used?
Twist Drills are mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger bore diameters; their geometry is relatively simple to resharpen and they withstand considerable loads, making them a common choice for robust metal drilling tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
The three main drill types are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills.

Why are Twist Drills point‑sharpened?
Point sharpening reduces the web thickness at the tip of the Twist Drill, significantly lowering friction and the required feed force; this also improves centring of the tip in the workpiece for more accurate starts.

Can a metal twist drill be used to drill wood?
A Metal (HSS) drill can be used in wood, but guidance is poorer and hole edges are less clean; however, metal drills are easier to resharpen and typically exhibit lower self‑feed behaviour.
