Twist Drill Type N — 10.6 mm, 135°, short, bright finished, HSS‑G, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N is a short, fully ground HSS‑G drill designed for precise metal drilling applications with drilling machines and stationary tool setups.

• Short design for higher stability and precision
• 135° tip angle for harder materials and stainless steel
• HSS‑G fully ground for sharp cutting edges and clean holes
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardised short spiral drills
• Suitable for use with Drilling Machines and similar equipment

Short length increases stability and accuracy for metalworking

A reduced overall length and shorter overhang significantly improve stability and reduce bending during machining. This short HSS‑G cutter is particularly suitable where rigid guidance and exact hole geometry are required. The compact geometry leads to less vibration and better concentricity, which in turn yields cleaner holes and improved surface finish in metallic workpieces.

Fully ground HSS construction for faster, lower-force drilling

The fully ground (HSS‑G) flute geometry produces very sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy. Compared with rolled designs, this ground finish enables up to 40% faster drilling and typically requires 50% less feed force, making it easier to penetrate hard and alloyed steels. For demanding materials such as tempered steel and cast iron, the 135° tip reduces initial walking and shortens plunge time.

Designed for demanding metal applications and professional users

Engineers and machinists will appreciate that this short spiral drill — a classic Type N geometry — is tailored for metalworking on both stationary and portable drilling setups. Typical uses include drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, sintered iron and non‑ferrous metals. The product is aimed at professional workshops and industries where durable, repeatable performance matters rather than occasional DIY use.

Guidance for safe use and best results

To maximise tool life and avoid chipping with the ground geometry, use appropriate cooling and moderate spindle speeds for the workpiece material. The shorter cutting length aids rigidity, but correct clamping and the use of a proper drill chuck or collet are essential for concentricity. For handheld machines, ensure the tool is mounted in a suitable chuck rated for the specified shank and runout requirements.

FAQ

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for machining high‑strength workpieces and larger drill diameters; the short, ground form is easy to regrind and withstands greater loads, making it suitable for demanding metal drilling tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
Typical drill categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Masonry/Concrete drills — the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N belongs to the Metal drill group and is optimised for that application.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The pointed tip on a Twist Drill reduces the transverse cutting edge at the tip, which lowers friction and required feed force; this sharpening also improves centring of the tip in the workpiece for more accurate starts.

Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A Metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior to purpose‑made wood drills; however, metal drills are easier to regrind and exhibit lower self‑feed tendencies.
