Twist Drill — Short HSS-G Twist Drill, 9.5 mm, 135° Point, Type N, TiN-coated, Short, DIN 338, Fully Ground

A Twist Drill in short execution for precision metalworking, designed as a Type N HSS-G tool with TiN-coated surface and a 135° point for reliable performance in hard materials.

• Short design for greater stability
• 9.5 mm Diameter for metal drilling
• 135° Point angle for hard materials
• TiN-coated surface for extended tool life
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity

Stable short geometry increases drilling accuracy

The short execution reduces overhang and vibration, providing noticeably higher stability and less tendency to bend compared with longer drills. This geometry is especially beneficial when machining tough metals, because a shorter protruding length improves guidance and delivers cleaner holes. For production or workshop environments that require repeatable precision, the compact design translates directly into fewer rejects and less rework.

Coating and material extend tool life under load

Made from HSS-G, the drill benefits from a high-speed steel base that tolerates the heat and stresses of metal cutting; the TiN-coated surface further reduces friction and wear. As a result, machining cycles last longer before regrinding or replacement is needed. Using appropriate cooling increases the lifetime advantage of the coating, which is particularly relevant when tackling alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast irons and non-ferrous metals.

Point geometry and performance in hard materials

With a 135° point angle the tool is engineered to penetrate harder workpieces more effectively; a larger point angle reduces the tendency to wander and shortens the initial entry time into materials such as stainless steel. The Type N spiral is a proven standard for metal drilling, offering a balance between chip evacuation and cutting action for a wide range of metallic materials while maintaining robust cutting edges.

Precision finish and machining efficiency

The fully ground shank and spiral geometry deliver excellent concentricity and very sharp cutting edges, enabling up to 40% faster drilling and requiring significantly less feed force compared with conventional HSS variants. This makes the tool well suited for stationary or portable drilling machines where consistent concentricity and hole quality are priorities. For sensitive assemblies, the improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy reduce secondary operations.

Applications and recommended use

Designed primarily as a Drill for Metal, this short HSS-G Twist Drill is appropriate for steel, castings, sintered parts, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics. Operators should favour a stable clamping setup and, for demanding materials, use suitable coolant to maximise tool life. The drill adheres to DIN 338, reflecting industry-standard dimensions and tolerances for short cylinder-shank twist drills, which simplifies integration into production and tooling lists.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill MetavCUT Type N best used for?
The Twist Drill MetavCUT Type N is primarily applied for machining high-strength materials and larger hole diameters; its short design and robust HSS-G composition make it suitable for demanding metalworking tasks, offering easier regrinding and reliable performance under higher loads.

Can the Twist Drill MetavCUT Type N be used on different metals?
Yes, the Twist Drill MetavCUT Type N is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, sintered parts and various non-ferrous metals; using a proper cooling system reduces friction and wear and helps to exploit the TiN-coated surface for extended life.

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills are mainly used for the machining of high-strength materials and larger drilling diameters; their form allows straightforward sharpening and they withstand higher loads while maintaining centring and cutting performance.

Which 3 drill types exist?
The three main drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the tip?
Sharpening reduces the cross-cut at the tip of the Twist Drill, which lowers friction forces and therefore requires less feed force; at the same time, a correctly ground tip improves centring in the workpiece.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A Metal Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and hole finish are inferior compared with dedicated wood drills; however, metal drills are easier to resharpen and typically exhibit less self-feeding.

For which depths is the Twist Drill the most commonly used tool?
For through-hole drilling, a Twist Drill is the usual choice; it is most frequently used for diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm.
