Twist Drill Short Type N 8.9 mm | 135° | HSS-G | Bright Finished | DIN 338

The Twist Drill Short Type N is a precision metalworking drill for Drilling Machines, designed for stable and accurate machining of hard materials.

• Short design for higher stability
• 135° point angle for hard materials
• HSS‑G fully ground for precise holes
• Complies with DIN 338 for short drills
• Suitable for use in Drilling Machine applications

Durable HSS‑G construction for reliable machining

Equipped with HSS‑G material, this Twist Drill delivers consistent cutting performance when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels. The fully ground geometry produces sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, which results in clean, burr‑reduced holes and extended tool life under correct cooling. Because the flute geometry is produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling, users benefit from superior roundness and repeatable accuracy that is particularly useful in demanding metalworking environments.

Short overall length for enhanced stability and accuracy

Thanks to its Short Design, the drill offers reduced overhang from the chuck, lowering the tendency to deflect and improving concentricity when drilling in tougher materials. This results in higher feed control and better hole quality, especially on bench and floor Drilling Machines. When precision counts, the shorter projection enables operators to apply lower lateral forces and maintain tighter tolerances, making the tool ideal for repetitive, high‑precision metalworking tasks.

Optimised geometry for hard materials and faster drilling

With a 135° Point Angle, the Twist Drill penetrates harder workpieces such as stainless steel more efficiently than standard angles, reducing the initial skidding and improving centring. The ground cutting lips and polished flutes support faster chip evacuation and allow up to 40% quicker drilling rates under suitable conditions, while requiring significantly lower feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. This geometry is particularly effective for applications where reduced entry burr and consistent hole form are priorities.

Conformance, application and user guidance

Manufactured to DIN 338, this Short Twist Drill Type N is specified for metalworking tasks on rotating stationary or portable machines. It is intended primarily for drilling metallic materials including cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics, and is not optimised for very soft timbers. For best results, use appropriate cutting speed, steady coolant supply and a stable clamping setup to exploit the drill’s high concentricity and edge sharpness.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill Short Type N best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Short Type N is primarily used for machining metal; it excels in drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and harder plastics thanks to its robust HSS‑G construction and shortened geometry that improves stability.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a hand drill or only in a Drilling Machine?
The Twist Drill is designed for Drilling Machine applications to achieve optimal stability and concentricity, though it may be used in heavy‑duty hand drills with appropriate clamping and reduced projection; for precise industrial tasks a stationary Drilling Machine is recommended.

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills are mainly applied in the machining of high‑strength materials and large drill diameters; their grindable form allows straightforward re‑sharpening and they withstand greater loads, making them suitable for demanding metalwork.

Which three drill types exist?
The common drill types are Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Stone/Concrete Drill.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, significantly lowering friction; by re‑pointing the tip the required feed force decreases and the drill centres better in the workpiece.

Can you drill wood with this Twist Drill?
A Metal Drill like the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with dedicated Wood Drills; however, metal drills are easier to re‑sharpen and show less self‑pulling action.

For which depths is the Twist Drill most used?
Twist Drills are the standard tool for through drilling; they are most commonly used for diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm.

Is HSS or HSSE better?
The assumption that HSSE is always superior to HSS is incorrect; selection should depend on working conditions and whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified by specific application demands.
