Twist Drill — Type N, 8.9 mm, 135° point, short HSS‑E, 5% cobalt‑alloyed, fully ground shank, DIN 338, MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is a short Type N drill designed for precision metalworking, offering high stability and improved penetration for harder materials thanks to its 135° point angle.

• Short design for improved stability
• 8.9 mm Diameter for common metal holes
• 135° Point Angle for harder materials
• HSS‑E with 5% cobalt for heat resistance
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy

Precision and stability for metalworking that matters

This short, purpose‑built cutter delivers stability where long overhangs would cause deflection. The reduced overall length and shorter projection reduce bending and vibration during drilling, which directly improves hole accuracy and prolongs tool life. For workshop operations and portable drilling machines, this geometry supports fast, straight entries into Steel and other metals, translating to fewer rejected parts and less rework.

Durable material for demanding conditions

Manufactured from HSS‑E with 5% cobalt, the tool resists heat and wear significantly better than standard HSS. That makes it suitable for sustained drilling in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron and Non‑Ferrous Metals. The cobalt content increases red hardness, so the cutter maintains cutting edges at higher temperatures; the direct user benefit is longer service life and fewer tool changes when machining tougher materials.

Geometry optimised for harder workpieces

The 135° point angle is chosen to ease engagement with harder materials and to reduce chatter on difficult surfaces. A wider point angle shortens the initial entry time and decreases the tendency of the tip to wander, which is particularly helpful on stainless Steel and high‑strength alloys. The "Type N" normal helix fluting provides a balance between chip evacuation and cutting stability for metalworking tasks.

Ground flute finish and norm conformity for precise holes

Being fully ground (HSS‑G style) yields sharp cutting lips and very good concentricity, resulting in clean, burr‑reduced holes with excellent surface finish. Conformance to DIN 338 ensures consistent dimensions and interchangeability, which benefits production runs and tool inventories. For users who value repeatable quality, this specification simplifies planning and tool management in professional shops.

Intended use and target users

Designed for machinists, maintenance teams and metalworking professionals, this short twist drill excels where precision counts and materials are tough. It suits both stationary machines and hand‑held drilling machines where a compact, stiff tool is needed. The result is reliable performance in fabrication, repair, and assembly environments where reproducible hole quality reduces secondary operations.
