Twist Drill — Type N, 2 mm, short, 118°, 5% cobalt-alloyed, HSS‑E, fully ground, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS‑E metal drill designed for precise drilling in steels and non‑ferrous metals with high stability and clean hole quality.

• Short design for higher Stability
• 2 mm Diameter for precise Holes
• 118° Tip angle for improved Penetration
• 5% Cobalt‑alloyed HSS‑E for increased Wear resistance
• Fully ground Shank for excellent Concentricity

Durable alloy construction for reliable metalworking

Built from HSS‑E with a 5% cobalt alloy, this short drill offers elevated hardness and heat resistance compared with standard HSS. The cobalt enrichment improves wear resistance during prolonged cutting and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge under higher temperatures. Conforming to DIN 338, the design targets machining of metal where consistent tool life and repeatable results are required.

Short geometry for higher stiffness and precise holes

The reduced overall length and shorter projecting flute give the tool exceptional rigidity, minimizing deflection in demanding operations. A fully ground flute geometry produces sharp cutting lips and high roundness, resulting in clean holes with reduced burr formation. The combination of short design and ground manufacturing is particularly advantageous for precision drilling tasks on machine tools and drilling machines.

Optimised for metal applications and professional use

With its Type N normal spiral geometry, the drill is purpose‑engineered for metalworking: suitable for alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, non‑ferrous Metals and Plastics. The compact execution makes it well suited to workshop environments where tight tolerances and repeatable hole quality matter, making it a practical choice for professional technicians and advanced hobbyists alike.

Practical handling and recommended machining practice

The 118° tip angle balances penetration and centring, and when paired with the Type N geometry it remains effective for metal cutting while easing start‑up into the workpiece. For best results, employ appropriate cutting speeds and cooling/lubrication, especially when drilling harder materials; this reduces heat build‑up and extends tool life. The short, robust shape also lowers the risk of breakage for small diameters, particularly under careful machining conditions.
