Twist Drill — short Type N HSS‑G drill, 7.5 mm, 135°, bright finished, DIN 338, MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS‑G drill designed for precise metal drilling in workshop and industrial applications, offering enhanced stability and a 135° point angle for hard materials.

• Short design for increased stability and precision
• High‑quality HSS‑G material for durable cutting
• 135° point for improved entry in hard metals
• Fully ground shank for precise concentricity

Short design for stable, precise metal drilling

A shorter overall length reduces overhang and significantly increases stability during drilling, which directly improves hole accuracy. The short execution means less vibration and a lower risk of bending when used in hand or machine drilling setups. This characteristic is particularly advantageous when working with hard or alloyed steels, where deflection would otherwise compromise the hole quality.

High‑performance material and geometry for tougher tasks

Made from HSS‑G, the geometry of the flute and the CNC grinding process produce very sharp cutting edges and consistent geometry for clean, round holes. The 135° point angle reduces the tendency to wander when starting a hole and shortens the initial penetration time in harder materials. For users with limited metallurgical knowledge: the larger point angle flattens the tip and distributes cutting forces, which helps when drilling stainless steel and other difficult alloys.

Where this drill delivers the best results

Engineered as a Type N normal‑spiral twist drill, this tool excels at drilling metals such as alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The bright finished surface improves chip evacuation in many workshop applications. Workshops and metalworking professionals benefit from the combination of short length and fully ground shank for repeatable concentricity in production and maintenance tasks.

Practical use and care for longer service life

Correct use with appropriate coolant and moderate feed rates extends life and reduces breakage risk, since ground HSS drills, while sharp, can be more brittle than rolled variants. A fully ground shank ensures secure clamping and minimal runout; users should verify chuck grip and use steady feed. Periodic resharpening restores cutting geometry; the ground flutes make controlled resharpening possible on a bench grinder or by service providers.

FAQ

What materials is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N best suited for?
The Twist Drill by MetavCUT (Type N) is optimised for drilling metals including alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics; its geometry and HSS‑G material favour performance on harder workpieces.

How should the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used to avoid breakage?
For the Twist Drill from MetavCUT, use steady feed, appropriate coolant and a secure chuck grip; since the drill is fully ground, it offers precision but benefits from controlled cutting conditions and occasional resharpening to maintain edge geometry.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
It is used primarily for machining high‑strength materials and large drill diameters; the form is easy to resharpen and withstands higher loads.

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

Why are twist drills point‑sharpened?
Point‑sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, lowering friction and required feed forces while improving centring of the drill tip in the workpiece.

Can a metal drill be used to drill wood?
A metal drill can be used in wood but usually provides poorer guidance and less clean holes; however, such drills are easier to resharpen and have less self‑feeding tendency.

At which drilling depths is the twist drill most commonly used?
A through‑hole in solid material is often executed with a twist drill; for diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the twist drill is the most commonly used tool.

Is HSS or HSSE better?
The common belief that HSSE is universally superior to HSS is not always correct; choose according to actual working conditions to determine whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified.
