Twist Drill Type N short bright finished (Ø 9.25 mm, 135°, HSS‑G, DIN 338) by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N short is a precision metalworking drill designed for Drilling Machines and manual drilling, offering a compact, stable design for hard materials.

• Short design for high stability and precision
• Fully ground shank for accurate concentricity
• 135° point angle for drilling hard steels
• HSS‑G material: sharp, precise holes in metal
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Durable cutting geometry for demanding metalwork

The HSS‑G material and CNC grinding process give this Twist Drill a very sharp cutting edge and high runout accuracy, resulting in clean, burr‑reduced holes when used on metal. Professionals benefit from the improved hole quality and consistency, since the ground flute geometry is optimized for metals such as alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, and non‑ferrous alloys. This results in fewer reworks and better component fit in assemblies.

Short length increases rigidity and speeds up working steps

Thanks to the short spiral length and compact overall profile, bending and chatter are significantly reduced, which improves hole precision in demanding operations. The shorter overhang also enables up to 40% faster drilling with about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills, making it particularly effective for tight‑tolerance metalworking and applications on stationary or portable drilling machines.

Targeted use: where best results are achieved

This Twist Drill Type N short by MetavCUT is aimed at machinists, toolrooms and maintenance workshops that require reproducible, high‑quality holes in metallic components. It is especially suited to operations on Drilling Machines and other rotating tools where stability matters. Its 135° point angle helps reduce entry burrs and improves centring when working with harder materials such as stainless steel.

Standard compliance and handling considerations

Manufactured to DIN 338 and delivered as a fully ground (HSS‑G) short drill, this tool provides tight tolerances and repeatable performance. Users should be aware that ground HSS drills can be more brittle than rolled variants and therefore benefit from adequate coolant and moderate cutting parameters. Periodic resharpening restores the precise geometry; when regrinding, keep the original point angle to preserve centring behavior.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill Type N short best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N short is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters in metalworking; its design and ground geometry make it easy to resharpen and capable of withstanding greater loads during drilling.

Which three drill types exist?
Common categories are metal drills (like the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N), wood drills, and stone/concrete drills; each is optimised in geometry and material for its specific substrate.

Why are twist drills pointed (resharpened)?
The point sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of the Twist Drill Type N short, lowering friction and thus the required feed forces while improving centring of the drill in the workpiece.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior to a dedicated wood drill; however, metal drills are easier to resharpen and show less self‑feeding tendency.

At which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A through hole in solid stock is typically produced with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to about 20 mm and drilling depths up to around 100 mm, the Twist Drill Type N short and related designs are the most commonly used tooling.

Is HSS or HSSE better for my application?
The general belief that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not universally correct; assess working conditions and cost‑benefit to decide whether the higher price of HSSE is justified for your specific use with tools such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N.
