Twist Drill — Type N Short, Ø 9.3 mm, 135° Tip, HSS‑G, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank, DIN 338

The Twist Drill Type N short is a precision HSS‑G metalworking drill designed for use with a Drilling Machine and optimised for stable, accurate holes in hard materials.

• Short Type N design for superior stability
• 135° tip angle for hard materials like stainless steel
• HSS‑G Material for sharp, precise metal drilling
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardised quality

Maximum precision and faster drilling for demanding metalwork

The Twist Drill delivers high Precision through its HSS‑G construction and fully ground geometry, producing clean holes and excellent roundness. Shorter Spiral Length reduces overhang and improves Stability, which in practice means less vibration and a reduced risk of breakage when working with tough materials. For users requiring reliable performance on alloys and tempered steels, this design yields up to 40% faster drilling and typically needs 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills, translating into measurable time savings on repetitive tasks.

Robust material and geometry tailored for hard materials

Constructed from HSS‑G and finished bright, the drill features a 135° Tip Angle that is optimised for hard and stainless steels by reducing initial entry forces and improving centring. The fully ground flutes ensure sharp cutting edges and consistent chip evacuation, while the short overall length increases rigidity. These attributes combine to provide greater tool life under appropriate cooling and steady feeds, making the tool particularly suitable for precision work on Alloys, Cast Steel and high strength components.

Practical applications and recommended use

Designed as a metal drill, the Tool is ideal for workshop and industrial applications including component manufacture, maintenance and toolroom operations. The short Type N configuration excels where confined setups or minimal overhang are required, for example jigging, machine‑mounted drilling and multi‑operation stations. When used with a Drilling Machine and suitable coolant, the drill produces consistently accurate holes in Cast Iron, Non‑ferrous Metals and various steels. For hand‑held drills choose appropriate clamping and low runout chucks to maintain accuracy.

Who benefits and why this drill stands out

Engineers, maintenance technicians and precision craftsmen benefit from the combination of DIN 338 standardisation and the grind quality of this Twist Drill. The Standard Line Series emphasises reproducible Quality and interchangeability across toolholders and setups. The short execution minimises deflection and the Type N spiral is the proven general‑purpose geometry for metalworking, balancing chip evacuation and edge strength. For production environments where hole quality and repeatability matter, this drill reduces rework and supports consistent cycle times.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill Type N short best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N short is primarily used for precise drilling in high‑strength and hard metals; its short design increases rigidity so it is especially suitable for drilling in Alloyed and Unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron and other tough materials under machine conditions.

Which three drill types are most common?
Common drill categories are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Stone/Concrete Drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal Drill category and is optimised for metalworking tasks.

For what is a Twist Drill generally used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; its grindable form makes repair straightforward and it withstands higher loads, making it a standard choice for demanding metal drilling operations.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the tip?
The tip grind reduces the cross‑cut at the point, lowering friction and the necessary feed forces, while improving centring of the Twist Drill in the workpiece. This leads to easier penetration and more accurate hole starts.
