Twist Drill — Type N, 9 mm, 135° tip, short, bright finished, HSS-G, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

A short, precision Twist Drill Type N designed for metalworking with a 9 mm diameter and a 135° point angle for stable, clean drilling in hard materials.

• Short design for higher stability
• HSS‑G ground for fast, precise drilling
• 135° point for hard materials like stainless steel
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylindrical drills
• Fully ground shank for excellent concentricity

Durable HSS‑G construction for reliable metalworking

The HSS‑G material offers a balance of hardness and edge retention that benefits demanding metalworking tasks. Built as a ground High Speed Steel tool, this short drill delivers sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy, which reduces burr formation and improves hole quality. For users who prioritize precision, the ground geometry translates into cleaner bores and fewer reworks, while the bright finished surface aids chip evacuation during cutting.

Short design increases stability and precision

A reduced overall length and a shorter Spiral length improve stiffness during drilling, so less bending occurs under load. This compact geometry is particularly useful when machining legiertem und unlegiertem Stahl and other hard metals, where a rigid tool axis is essential. The shorter overhang results in increased feed stability, enabling higher feed rates in many setups without sacrificing hole accuracy.

135° tip and Type N spiral for hard materials

The 135° point angle is tailored to cut into harder materials with reduced tendency to wander at entry, making it suitable for stainless steel and other tougher alloys. As a Type N (normal spiral) configuration, the tool is optimized for metal drilling rather than soft substrates. For less experienced users: a larger tip angle decreases the initial cutting aggressiveness and improves centering, which helps when starting holes in tough components.

Precise shank and DIN 338 compliance for machine use

With a fully ground shank, the drill provides excellent concentricity and grip in standard drill chucks and toolholders, reducing runout and wear. Conformance to DIN 338 ensures standardized dimensions and compatibility with common tool setup procedures in production and workshop environments. These characteristics make the tool well suited to both stationary machines and portable drilling machines used in metal fabrication.

Who benefits and recommended applications

Mechanical workshops, toolrooms and production engineers working with steels, cast materials and non‑ferrous metals will find the short Twist Drill especially advantageous for precision holemaking. Its properties support drilling in components where surface finish and positional accuracy matter. For simple explanations: HSS‑G denotes a ground High Speed Steel drill, Type N indicates the classic metal spiral, and the 135° tip suits harder substrates.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for and which materials suit the MetavCUT Type N drill?
The Twist Drill by MetavCUT, Type N, is primarily used for drilling metal; it is ideal for legiertes und unlegiertes Stahl, Gussstahl, Gusseisen and non‑ferrous metals. The Type N spiral and HSS‑G ground geometry ensure reliable cutting in harder materials and give good hole quality in workshop and production settings.

Which three drill types exist and where does the MetavCUT Twist Drill fit?
Three common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a metal drill (Type N) and is specifically engineered for use in metalworking rather than for wood or stone.

Why is the tip of a Twist Drill sharpened and how does that help in practice?
The tip sharpening reduces the cross‑cut edge at the drill point, lowering friction and required feed force. For the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N this means easier entry, better centering and reduced heat generation, resulting in cleaner holes and longer tool life when combined with appropriate cooling.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used for drilling wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but it will usually offer less guidance and a rougher finish than a dedicated wood drill. Metal drills are easier to resharpen and exhibit less self‑feeding, so they may require more careful positioning when used in timber.
