Twist Drill — Type N short, 8.2 mm, 135°, HSS‑G, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank, DIN 338

The Twist Drill Type N short is a precision metal‑drilling tool for Drilling Machines, offering an 8.2 mm diameter and a 135° tip for reliable penetration in hard materials.

• Twist Drill Type N, 8.2 mm, 135° tip
• Short design for higher stability and precision
• HSS‑G ground for fast drilling and clean holes
• Sized to machine drilling in metals per DIN 338
• Bright finished with fully ground shank

Short design increases accuracy and reduces vibration

A shorter overall length combined with a reduced overhang provides noticeably higher stability during machining, which is particularly advantageous when working on tough alloys. The compact geometry lowers the tendency to bend or chatter, so operators achieve more consistent hole quality under load. For workshop set‑ups where rigidity matters, the short execution of this tool supports precise centring and smoother feeds.

HSS‑G ground geometry for faster, cleaner holes in metal

The HSS‑G (ground high‑speed steel) construction yields very sharp cutting edges and excellent roundness, enabling up to 40% faster drilling speeds with significantly reduced feed forces compared with conventional HSS. Combined with the 135° tip geometry, the tool is optimised for harder materials and reduces the risk of workpiece deformation while improving tool life when used with appropriate coolant.

Fully ground shank and bright finish for reliable clamping

A fully ground cylindrical shank ensures uniform clamping in chucks and holders, minimising run‑out and enhancing concentricity for deeper or repeated bores. The bright finished surface facilitates chip evacuation and inspection, while the compliance with DIN 338 confirms the tool class and dimensional tolerances expected in professional metalworking environments.

Best suited for professional metalworking and demanding tasks

Engineers and machinists who require robust performance in steel, castings and non‑ferrous metals will appreciate the balance of durability and precision offered by this Type N Twist Drill. The tool is designed primarily for machine drilling operations and excels where repeatable accuracy and clean bore edges are required, for example in toolrooms, maintenance shops and production lines.

FAQ

What applications is the Twist Drill Type N suitable for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is intended primarily for metalworking operations; it is particularly effective when machining steels, cast irons and other harder materials on Drilling Machines, offering stable performance for precision bores.

Can the Twist Drill be used in portable drills?
While the Twist Drill Type N is designed for machine drilling, it can be used in Handheld Drilling Machines for lighter tasks; however the short geometry shows its full advantages in rigid, machine‑mounted setups to maintain concentricity and hole quality.

For what is Twist Drill used?
The Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters. This shape is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads.

Which 3 drill types exist?
There are three principal drill types: Metal drills, Wood drills, and Stone/Concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drills pointed (regrinded)?
Pointing reduces the web thickness at the tip of the Twist Drill. By pointing, frictional forces are substantially lowered so that smaller feed forces are required and the tip centres better in the workpiece.

Can a metal drill be used to drill wood?
A metal drill can be used in wood but typically gives poorer guidance and a less clean result. However, such drills are easier to resharpen and exhibit less aggressive self‑feeding.
