Twist Drill (Type N) – 4.8 mm, 135° point, short, TIN‑coated, HSS‑G, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS‑G metal drill designed for precise machining in drilling machines and handheld drills where rigidity and life time are essential.

• Short design for higher stability and accuracy
• TIN‑coated for reduced wear and longer service life
• HSS‑G fully ground for fast penetration and clean holes
• 135° point angle optimised for hard materials such as stainless steel
• Manufactured to DIN 338 for consistent quality

Precise metalworking thanks to focused geometry and coating

The short Twist Drill in HSS‑G offers a geometry optimised for metalworking: the fully ground flutes produce sharp cutting edges and precise hole rounds, while the TIN‑coating significantly reduces friction and thermal stress during drilling. This combination means cleaner holes and less burr formation when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels. For users requiring repeatable accuracy in demanding operations, the reduced overhang of a short design improves concentricity and limits tool deflection, so the result is higher process reliability.

Stability and efficiency from a compact construction

A shorter overall length leads to noticeably improved stability during drilling, which reduces chatter and the risk of breakage when machining tougher materials. The 135° point angle is engineered to lower the initial penetration force and extend wear life when tackling hard materials like stainless steel and tempered castings. In practice, this means faster cycle times and less operator intervention for alignment, particularly useful when working on production machines or portable drilling setups where rigidity is limited.

Suitable applications and target users

This Type N Twist Drill is aimed at professionals and workshops that demand reliable performance on metals including steel, cast iron, copper alloys and hard plastics. Maintenance technicians, toolrooms and small manufacturers will benefit from the drill’s ability to keep tight tolerances with fewer rejects. Where multi‑material flexibility is required, the drill provides a good balance of regrindability and cutting efficiency, making it a practical choice for both repair work and serial production.

FAQ

What materials can the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) be used on?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is designed primarily for metalworking and works well on alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Tempered Castings, Cast Iron, Copper Alloys and Hard Plastics; its HSS‑G substrate and TIN‑coating help to extend tool life under these conditions.

How does the short design of this Twist Drill improve performance?
A short Twist Drill reduces overhang, which increases rigidity and lowers the tendency to bend or chatter; this results in better hole accuracy and often faster drilling, especially when machining hard materials using a drilling machine.

What is a Twist Drill mainly used for?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its form permits easy regrinding and it withstands greater loads, making it suitable for demanding metal drilling tasks.

Which three drill types are commonly distinguished?
Three common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for machining metals.
