Twist Drill — Short HSS‑E Type N, 10.4 mm, 135°, 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed, Fully Ground, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS‑E metal drill designed for drilling machines, offering high stability and clean holes in hard materials.

• Short design for increased stability
• 10.4 mm Diameter for precise metal holes
• 135° Point angle ideal for hardened materials
• Fully ground shank for superior runout accuracy

Durable Material and a Short Design for Precise Results

The short HSS‑E construction with 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed composition makes this Twist Drill exceptionally resistant to heat and wear when machining metal. Because the overall length is reduced, the short design minimises flex and vibration, which directly improves Hole Accuracy and reduces the risk of Breakage during demanding tasks. This combination is particularly advantageous for applications where dimensional precision matters.

Engineered for Metalworking and Hard Materials

With a 135° Point Angle and Type N normal spiral geometry, the Twist Drill by MetavCUT is optimised for metal, including alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron and non‑ferrous metals. The wider point angle shortens the initial entry phase and improves centring on hard surfaces, so fewer re‑drills are needed. The result is faster, cleaner Metal Drilling with less tendency to wander on the workpiece.

Precision Finish and Compliance with DIN 338

The fully ground flute geometry (HSS‑G) produces sharp cutting edges and excellent Runout Accuracy; such Bohrer are made by grinding rather than rolling, which yields precise hole quality. DIN 338 classifies these short Twist Drills with cylindrical shank and defines dimensions and tolerances, so spec conformity is ensured. For customers unfamiliar with the term, HSS‑E means high‑speed steel with added Cobalt for improved hardness at elevated temperatures.

Who Benefits and Typical Use Cases

This short Twist Drill suits workshops, toolrooms and industrial settings where consistent metal Hole Quality is required. It is aimed at machinists and fabricators needing reliable performance in tough materials and at small diameters.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill (Type N) by MetavCUT used for?
The Twist Drill (Type N) by MetavCUT is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and for larger drill diameters in metalworking. Its geometry is easy to regrind and it withstands higher loads, making it suitable for industrial Metal Drilling tasks where robustness and longevity are required.

Which three drill types exist?
Commonly distinguished drill types are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal Drill category and is optimised for steel and similar materials.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The point on the Twist Drill (Type N) by MetavCUT reduces the cross‑edge at the tip, which lowers friction and thus requires less feed force. Pointed geometry also improves centring in the workpiece, so drilling starts more cleanly and with better accuracy.

Can the Twist Drill (Type N) by MetavCUT be used to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill can be used in Wood, but guidance and finish will be inferior compared with a dedicated Wood Drill; the MetavCUT Twist Drill will cut wood but offers less centring and a rougher bore, while being easier to re‑sharpen and having lower self‑feed.
