Twist Drill — Short Type N, Diameter 12.7 mm, 135° Tip, Bright Finished, Short Execution, DIN 338, HSS‑G (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill short Type N is a precision metalworking bit designed for Drilling Machines, combining a short design with a 135° point angle for reliable performance in hard materials.

• Short design for increased stability
• HSS‑G ground for precise, clean holes
• 135° tip for harder materials and steel
• Fully ground shank for excellent concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short Twist Drills

Faster, more efficient drilling in demanding metalwork

The HSS‑G ground geometry of this short Twist Drill enables up to 40% faster drilling while requiring about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS bits. This translates into lower spindle load and shorter cycle times when working with alloyed and unalloyed Steel. The combination of short spiral length and reduced overhang increases Stability, reducing chatter and improving hole quality for precision assemblies.

Built to cut hard materials with consistent accuracy

A 135° Point Angle is specified to ease entry into tougher substrates such as Stainless Steel or tempered components, reducing the tendency to work‑harden at the hole edge. The Type N normal helix is optimised for metal cutting, making the bit suitable for Cast Steel, Gusseisen, Sintered Iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The short overall length reduces deflection so that each drilled hole maintains concentricity and dimensional accuracy.

Manufacturing quality: ground geometry and bright finish

Being a short, fully ground Twist Drill manufactured in accordance with DIN 338, the flute geometry is produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling. This results in very sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy, producing clean, burr‑reduced holes. The bright finished surface aids chip evacuation and visual inspection, while the fully ground shank supports excellent clamping and minimal runout in chucks and collets.

Recommended applications and handling advice for best results

This short Twist Drill from MetavCUT is intended primarily for use in stationary or portable Drilling Machines where rigidity and precision are required. For best life and hole quality, use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate speeds adapted to material. The shorter form is ideal for tight setups and for operations where deflection must be minimised. If unsure whether this Twist Drill meets specific project requirements, METAV Werkzeuge offers comprehensive technical advice and assistance.
