Twist Drill — Type N short, 10 mm, HSS‑G, bright finished

The Twist Drill Type N short by MetavCUT is a precision metalworking drill bit designed for use in a Drilling Machine or hand drill for stable, accurate holes in hard materials.

• Short Twist Drill Type N, 10 mm diameter
• HSS‑G fully ground for precise metal holes
• 135° point angle for harder materials
• Complies with DIN 338 for short drills
• Bright finished shank, suitable for hand drills

High cutting performance thanks to HSS‑G and CNC grinding

The HSS‑G material and fully ground geometry deliver significantly improved cutting action compared with rolled drills. This short, ground design enables up to 40% faster drilling while requiring around 50% less feed force, which reduces operator fatigue and tool wear. Such performance makes the bit particularly effective when machining alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron and other metal substrates where clean, accurate holes are required. The reduced thrust also means less stress on smaller machines and fixtures.

Stability and precision from a shorter overhang

A short overall length increases rigidity and lowers the tendency to bend, producing more concentric holes under load. The 135° point angle is optimised for harder materials, shortening penetration time and improving centring in stainless and tempered steels. Conformity to DIN 338 confirms that this short twist drill meets the standard dimensions and tolerances expected for short cylindrical‑shank High Speed Steel drills, making it easy to integrate into established machining workflows.

Tailored for metalworking professionals and maintenance teams

Manufactured for workshop use, the MetavCUT short Twist Drill Type N is aimed at machinists, toolrooms and professional maintenance staff who need dependable results in metal. The fully ground flute geometry yields sharp cutting edges and high running accuracy, which benefits precision work on lathes, drill presses and portable drills. Regrinding is straightforward for in‑house toolrooms, though users should mind that ground drills can be more brittle and are best used with appropriate cooling and machine support.

Clear advantages and practical guidance for use

The Type N normal spiral is a classic metalworking geometry: good chip evacuation and robust cutting for a wide range of ferrous and non‑ferrous metals. Because the drill is ground rather than roll‑formed, it produces cleaner holes and higher concentricity; the trade‑off is a greater sensitivity to shock loads, so the bit performs best in stable, cooled drilling conditions. For deeper bores or flexible setups, consider longer or different spiral profiles; for standard metal‑through holes up to typical diameters, this short design is often the faster, more precise choice.
