Twist Drill (Type N) – Short, 1.5 mm, 118°, TiN-coated, HSS‑G, DIN 338 by MetavCUT

A Twist Drill (Type N) designed for precise metalworking, offering a short, stable design and TiN coating for extended tool life.

• Short HSS‑G design for improved stability
• TiN-coated for reduced wear and longer life
• Fully ground shank for faster, cleaner drilling
• 118° point angle suited to softer metals and centring
• Conforms to DIN 338 for reliable manufacturing quality

Stable holes with less deflection for precision metalwork

The short HSS‑G construction reduces overhang and significantly increases Stability during drilling, which helps to avoid chatter and bending. Because the Flute Geometry is produced by CNC grinding, the cutting edges are exceptionally sharp and ensure clean chip evacuation. This results in a Precision improvement for demanding tasks such as drilling in Steel, Cast Iron or Copper alloys. For stationary machines and bench work, the shorter Projection enables more controllable feed and better repeatability.

Faster cutting with lower feed forces thanks to grinding

A fully ground Shank and flute geometry enable up to 40% faster drilling speeds while requiring substantially less axial force compared with rolled alternatives. The TiN Coating reduces friction and thermal wear, meaning longer service life under continuous use when combined with appropriate cooling. This advantage translates into higher throughput and lower tool-change frequency, which is particularly valuable in production environments and professional workshops.

Versatile application spectrum and material compatibility

Engineered as a Type N normal-spiral drill, this short variant is well suited to general metalworking tasks. It performs reliably in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Tempered Cast, Cast Iron, non‑ferrous Metals like Copper and Bronze, and even hard plastics. The 118° point angle assists centring on slightly curved surfaces and is often preferred when a balance between fast penetration and clean hole finish is required.

Practical considerations for safe, efficient use

For optimal results, use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when machining metals to lower temperatures and extend life. The shortened length reduces the risk of breakage under lateral loads, but because ground drills can be relatively brittle, firm clamping and steady feeds are recommended. When high precision is required, the reduced runout of a ground Twist Drill helps deliver consistent diameters and better surface quality.

Who benefits from this design

Workshop professionals, tool rooms and precision fabricators profit most from the shorter TiN‑coated HSS‑G solution: where repeatable hole quality, tool life and machining speed matter. The product is designed to meet industrial expectations for durability and consistency while remaining easy to integrate into standard Drilling Machines and production routines.
