Twist Drill — Short HSS-G Type N, 9 mm, 135°, TiN-coated, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a short HSS-G metalworking drill bit (Type N) designed for precision drilling in hard materials and optimised for use in drilling machines.

• Short design for higher stability
• TiN-coated for extended tool life
• Fully ground shank for cleaner holes
• 135° tip for hard metals and stainless steel
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short drill bits

Durable Material and Coating for Long Service Life

The short HSS-G construction combined with the TiN-coated surface reduces friction and wear during metalworking, which translates into a significantly longer lifetime under continuous use. With a 9 mm diameter and a flute length of 81 mm, this bit is especially suited for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, sintered iron, nickel silver, copper, bronze and hard plastics. The TiN layer lowers surface temperature and, when used with appropriate cooling, decreases abrasive wear and maintains cutting performance over prolonged operations.

Stable Short Design for Precise, Efficient Drilling

Thanks to the reduced overhang of the short execution, this Twist Drill provides superior stability and resists bending under load, enabling more accurate hole positions and improved concentricity. The fully ground geometry yields sharp cutting edges and high running accuracy, allowing up to 40% faster penetration and requiring about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. These advantages make it a reliable choice for demanding production and workshop environments where precision and throughput matter.

Optimised Tip Geometry and Suitable Applications

The 135° point angle is tailored for harder materials and stainless steel: it shortens the initial penetration time and improves centring on tough surfaces. As a Type N normal-spiral bit, the tool excels at general metal drilling tasks and is intended primarily for use with drilling machines. Typical fields of application include maintenance, toolrooms and manufacturing where metals such as steel, cast components and non-ferrous alloys must be drilled with repeatable quality.

Compliance, Manufacturing and Best Practice

Manufactured according to DIN 338 as a short, cylindrical-shank Spiral Drill, this product is produced as a ground (HSS-G) variant, which implies CNC-ground flutes for sharp edges and precise geometry. Ground drills generally offer cleaner holes and better accuracy than roll-formed types, though they can be somewhat more brittle and therefore are recommended for use with suitable coolant and in predominantly stationary mounting conditions. For optimal results, pair the bit with controlled speeds, adequate coolant and a solid clamping system.
