Twist Drill — Short HSS‑G Twist Drill, Diameter 8.25 mm, 135° tip, Type N, Bright finished, Fully ground shank, DIN 338

The Twist Drill short HSS‑G Type N is a compact metal‑drilling tool designed for precise work in hard materials, suitable for use in a Drilling Machine.

• Short design for higher rigidity and precision
• HSS‑G material for sharp, clean metal holes
• 135° tip for improved entry in hard materials
• Fully ground shank for excellent runout accuracy
• Compliant with DIN 338 for short twist drills

Precision and stability for demanding metalwork

The short HSS‑G Twist Drill from MetavCUT combines a reduced overhang with a robust geometry to deliver reliable concentricity and minimal deflection. Its short design reduces the unsupported length outside the chuck, which translates into higher stability and better hole accuracy when machining steels and other hard materials. For workshop and industrial applications where repeatable hole quality matters, this configuration helps maintain machining tolerances and reduces scrap rates.

Faster penetration with lower feed force

A HSS‑G (ground high speed steel) construction and a 135° tip angle optimise the cutting action for tougher metals, shortening the initial entry phase and lowering required thrust. The ground flute geometry provides sharp cutting edges that support faster drilling — the design enables up to around 40% faster progress and reduces required feed forces compared with conventional HSS variants, making the short drill particularly effective for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and hardened plastics. Explanation: ground (G) means the flutes are CNC‑ground rather than roll‑formed, yielding sharper edges and improved runout accuracy.

Designed for metal, tailored to professional use

As a Type N normal spiral, this short twist drill is engineered primarily for metalworking on stationary or portable Drilling Machines. Typical applications include drilling in steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron and non‑ferrous metals. The fully ground shank supports precise clamping and is advantageous in production environments where high concentricity and repeatability are required. For less experienced users: Type N indicates a general‑purpose metal drill with a standard spiral suited to a wide range of ferrous materials.

Norm conformity and manufacturing details that matter

Compliance with DIN 338 identifies this tool as a short twist drill with a cylindrical shank produced to standardised dimensions and tolerances. The bright finished surface and the fully ground shaft contribute to predictable seating in chucks and collets. Because ground HSS variants can be more brittle than rolled types, cooling and controlled feeds are recommended for stationary operations to maximise tool life. The short length also reduces vibration, improving surface finish and hole roundness in high‑precision tasks.

FAQ

What is the ideal use of the Twist Drill by MetavCUT?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill short HSS‑G is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its ground geometry makes it easy to regrind while withstanding greater loads, which suits heavy‑duty metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
When classifying common drills, there are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal drill category and is optimised for that purpose.

Why are twist drills point‑sharpened?
The point sharpening on a MetavCUT Twist Drill reduces the cross‑edge at the tip, which significantly lowers friction and therefore the required feed force, and it improves centring in the workpiece for more accurate starts.

Can a Twist Drill for metal be used to drill wood?
A MetavCUT metal Twist Drill can be used in wood, but it offers less guidance and a rougher finish than a purpose‑built wood drill; metal drills are easier to re‑sharpen and have less self‑feeding action.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill commonly used?
A through hole in solid material is typically made with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to around 20 mm and drilling depths up to about 100 mm, the short twist drill form is the most frequently used tool.

Which is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general belief that HSSE steels are inherently superior to HSS is not universally correct. Evaluate working conditions to determine whether HSSE justifies a higher cost; MetavCUT recommends choosing material and coating based on specific machining demands.
