Twist Drill — Short Type N, Ø 9.8 mm, 135°, HSS‑E, 5% cobalt‑alloyed, Fully Ground, DIN 338

The Twist Drill short Type N is a precision metal drilling bit for Drilling Machines, optimised for hard and alloyed metals with high heat resistance.

• Short design for increased stability and precision
• HSS‑E with 5% cobalt for higher heat resistance
• 135° point angle for hard metals and stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for sharp cutting and precise holes
• Conforms to DIN 338 for reliable industrial quality

Durable Material for High‑Heat Metalworking and Longer Tool Life

Thanks to its HSS‑E composition with 5% cobalt, this short Twist Drill delivers improved hardness and thermal stability compared with standard HSS. The cobalt‑alloyed steel retains cutting edge at elevated temperatures, reducing wear when drilling alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and certain Plastics. This results in fewer tool changes and more consistent hole quality under demanding conditions.

Short Geometry for Precision and Reduced Deflection

The Short Design reduces the unsupported length outside the chuck, which significantly improves stability and minimises bending during cutting. Combined with the Fully Ground spiral geometry, the bit produces clean, accurate holes with excellent concentricity. The 135° Point Angle shortens the initial penetration time in harder materials and improves centring when machining stainless and other tough alloys.

Built for Workshop and Industrial Metal Drilling Tasks

Engineered according to DIN 338 and classified as Type N, this bit is intended for professional metalworking on Drilling Machines and stationary equipment. Typical applications include precision component fabrication and repair work where repeatable hole quality is required. For many workshop tasks the short configuration is preferred up to common diameter and depth ranges, offering dependable performance for production and maintenance environments.

Practical Use Recommendations to Maximise Performance

For best results, use appropriate cutting speeds and steady coolant to extend life and prevent overheating. The distinction between Ground and Rolled manufacturing matters: ground bits give sharper cutting edges and superior hole finish but can be less tolerant to shock; rolled bits are tougher but may sacrifice final surface quality. Secure clamping, correct speeds and feed rates, and lubrication ensure the best balance of lifetime and hole accuracy.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for machining high‑strength and harder metals where precision holes are required; its short design and HSS‑E material make it suitable for demanding metalwork and larger drilling diameters under controlled conditions.

Which three drill types exist?
The three main drill categories are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Stone/Concrete Drills, each optimised in geometry and cutting angle for their respective materials.

How does the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N perform in high‑strength materials?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is designed for high‑strength materials; its geometry and alloy content allow efficient cutting of tougher metals, and the form is easy to regrind while withstanding higher loads.

Can metal Twist Drills be used for wood?
A Metal Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in Wood, but guidance and finish are typically inferior compared with dedicated Wood Drills; Metal Drills are easier to resharpen and have lower self‑feeding tendency.
