Twist Drill — Type N, Diameter 7.9 mm, 135° Point, Short, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank, HSS‑G, DIN 338 by MetavCUT

A short Twist Drill (Type N) designed for precise metal drilling in Drilling Machines and industrial workshop applications.

• Short design for high stability and precision
• 135° tip for harder materials and reduced wander
• HSS‑G ground geometry for faster drilling and less feed force
• Fully ground shank for excellent runout accuracy
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylindrical shank drills

Precision and stability for demanding metalwork

The short execution of this Twist Drill delivers significantly reduced overhang, which increases Stability and minimises bending during cutting. That compact geometry together with a 135° point reduces the initial skidding when entering hard materials, allowing more accurate positioning and cleaner holes. For workshop professionals this means fewer re‑drills and consistent hole quality when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels.

Faster cutting and lower operator effort thanks to HSS‑G

The HSS‑G (ground) material and CNC‑ground flute geometry provide sharper cutting edges and a high Rundlaufgenauigkeit, enabling up to 40% faster drilling with roughly 50% lower feed force compared with conventional HSS variants. For operations in Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron and other non‑ferrous metals, this translates into shorter cycle times and less operator fatigue, particularly in repetition tasks on production benches or machine tools.

Engineered shank and finish for machine compatibility

With a fully ground shank and bright finished coating, the drill achieves excellent clamping accuracy and smooth insertion into chucks. The nominal Spiral Length of 75 mm and an Overall Length of 117 mm balance chip evacuation and stiffness. Use in stable chucks or machine tool setups is recommended to exploit the drill’s precision; the robust finish also eases handling and reduces corrosion risk in workshop environments.

Recommended users and application scenarios

This product targets machinists, toolrooms and maintenance professionals who require precise, repeatable metal drilling. The Type N normal spiral geometry is optimised for metalworking and is particularly effective when used with stationary drilling machines or robust portable drilling equipment under controlled conditions. For demanding tasks such as stainless steel or tempered components, the short Twist Drill offers reliability and a longer life under appropriate cooling.

FAQ

Can I use the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N in a hand drill?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is optimised for machine use and offers best results when used in stable chucks or drilling machines; however, it can be used in powerful hand drills for light tasks if proper clamping, low speeds and cooling are applied to maintain precision and avoid breakage.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
The Twist Drill by MetavCUT is primarily applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger bore diameters; its ground geometry is easy to re‑sharpen and withstands substantial loads, making it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast irons and hard plastics.

Which 3 drill types exist?
For reference, the main drill categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Masonry/Concrete drills, and the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal drill group.
