Twist Drill – Short HSS‑E Type N, Ø 9 mm, 135°, 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill from MetavCUT is a short Type N drill for precise metalworking, especially suited to drilling hard and alloyed steels with a 135° tip angle.

• Short design for high stability
• 135° tip for hard materials
• Fully ground flutes for precise holes
• HSS‑E with 5% cobalt for heat resistance
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short drills

Greater Precision through Short Design and Material Choice

The short Execution reduces overhang and increases Stability, which is particularly beneficial when machining hard metals. Manufactured in HSS‑E with 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed composition, the tool offers improved heat resistance and wear behaviour compared with standard HSS. As a result, operators achieve cleaner holes and longer tool life when performing demanding Metalworking tasks on stationary or portable Drilling Machines.

Clean Holes and High Runout Accuracy with Ground Geometry

A Fully ground flute geometry produces very sharp cutting edges and excellent Runout Accuracy, ideal for precision applications. The Type N spiral geometry is the classic choice for Metal Drilling and generates reliable chip evacuation in many alloys. Note that ground drills can be more brittle than rolled variants, therefore using appropriate cooling and careful feed rates on tougher Materials is recommended to avoid breakage.

Designed for Metalworking: Recommended Applications and Users

This MetavCUT Twist Drill is intended for drilling Alloyed and Unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and certain Plastics; it is well suited to workshop technicians, maintenance teams and precision machinists. The short overall length and stable shank make it especially useful for operations requiring minimal deflection, such as jig and fixture work or when using a Hand Drill for controlled site repairs.

135° Point Angle: Faster Penetration and Better Centering in Hard Materials

A 135° Point Angle helps reduce the tendency to wander on the surface of hard materials and shortens the initial penetration time compared with steeper points. This geometry lowers the cutting forces on the central tip and improves centring on Stainless Steel and other tough alloys, enabling more dependable starts and reducing the need for pilot operations in many cases.

Standard Compliance and Practical Handling Notes

Conforming to DIN 338 ensures consistent dimensions and interchangeability for short Twist Drills with cylindrical shank. The Standard Line manufacturing and the Fully Ground Shaft Execution ensure predictable performance across batches. For best results, pair the drill with appropriate coolant and moderate spindle speeds when working in high‑tensile steels; this preserves edge integrity and reduces the risk of chipping.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its geometry allows straightforward regrinding and it withstands greater mechanical loads, making it a standard choice for robust Metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
Common categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills, and the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal drill group suited for ferrous and non‑ferrous Materials.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used for wood?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in Wood, but as a Metal drill it offers less guidance and a rougher finish than dedicated Wood drills; it is easier to resharpen and shows lower self‑feeding tendency compared with specialised wood brad point drills.
