Twist Drill — Short Type N 11.5 mm, TIN-coated HSS-G, 135° Tip, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill short Type N is a precision metal-drilling tool designed for use in Drilling Machines for demanding applications in alloyed and unalloyed steels.

• Short design for higher stability and precision
• TIN-coated for reduced friction and longer life
• Fully ground HSS-G for sharp cutting and accuracy
• 135° tip for drilling hard materials like stainless steel
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardized quality

Enhanced Tool Life through TIN Coating and Material Choice

Built from HSS-G and finished with a TIN-coated surface, this short Twist Drill provides markedly improved wear resistance when machining metals. The Titanium Nitride coating reduces friction and heat at the cutting edge, which translates to prolonged Tool Life under intermittent and continuous operation. For users processing alloyed or unalloyed Steel, Tempered Cast Iron, Copper or Bronze, the coating plus the high-speed steel substrate combine to lower abrasive wear and help maintain hole quality over longer runs.

Stability and Precision for Hard Materials

Thanks to the Short design and the fully ground shaft, this drill minimises deflection and delivers a high degree of positional accuracy in demanding operations. A 135° tip geometry reduces the tendency to wander on tough surfaces and shortens initial engagement for materials such as Stainless Steel. The CNC grinding of the flutes produces sharp cutting lips and excellent runout characteristics, resulting in cleaner holes and reduced rework for precision assemblies.

Optimised for Metalworking and Machine Operation

Engineered as a Type N Normal Spiral for metal, the construction follows DIN 338, making the product suitable for stationary and mobile machine tools where consistent performance is required. The reduced overhang of the Short format increases rigidity, allowing higher feed rates and contributing to up to 40% faster drilling under suitable conditions compared to conventional HSS choices. When combined with an adequate cooling strategy, the tool achieves superior results in both spot and through-hole drilling.

Practical Guidance for Efficient Use

When operating the Short Twist Drill from MetavCUT, select cutting speeds and feeds corresponding to the specific Metal grade, and apply coolant to reduce temperatures and prolong the TIN coating’s effectiveness. Since fully ground tools can be more brittle than rolled variants, start drilling with light axial pressure and steady spindle speed to avoid chipping. For non-ferrous materials and plastics the tool will function but may show less guidance than a dedicated wood or masonry design; for fine finishing, use appropriate deburring afterwards to preserve hole tolerances.
