Twist Drill — Short HSS‑E 10.5 mm, 135° Tip, Type N, 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed (DIN 338)

The Twist Drill is a short, HSS‑E metalworking drill designed for precise drilling in hard materials using a Drilling Machine

• Short design for enhanced rigidity and precision
• 10.5 mm diameter for common metalwork applications
• 135° tip angle for improved centring in hard materials
• 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed composition for higher heat resistance
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity and clean holes

Precision and Stability for Demanding Metalwork

A short Twist Drill in HSS‑E offers measurable benefits when machining steel and other hard alloys. The reduced overhang and compact Overall Length increase Stability, reducing chatter and deflection during drilling. For operators this means more accurate Hole Diameters and better surface finish, especially when using a Drilling Machine under steady feed. The fully ground flute geometry ensures sharp cutting edges and consistent centring in the workpiece, which translates into fewer rejects and less rework.

Geometry Optimised for Hard Materials

The 135° Tip Angle and Type N spiral profile make this cutter particularly effective at starting holes in tougher materials without wandering. A larger tip angle reduces the initial cutting pressure and improves tool life when drilling stainless steel or alloyed steels. Because the drill is 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed, its thermal resilience is increased, allowing higher cutting speeds and longer service intervals under typical metalworking conditions. For tasks requiring clean, precise bores, this combination of geometry and material offers a clear performance advantage.

Short Length, Greater Control

Choosing a short execution drill delivers tangible handling benefits: shorter chips evacuation path, less bending moment and improved operator control. The Short Spiral Length and Fully Ground shank produce excellent concentricity in the chuck, which is crucial for repeatable hole quality in production or workshop settings. This design is particularly suitable for machining setups where rigidity and accuracy take priority over deep drilling and where coolant or machine support is available to extend tool life.

Who Should Use This Twist Drill

This Twist Drill from MetavCUT is aimed at professionals and workshops that machine metals such as alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals. Engineers and technicians who prioritise precision and repeatability will benefit from the drill’s material and geometry. For one‑off projects and series production alike, the tool provides a reliable balance between hardness, toughness and resharpenability, making it a practical choice for industrial and maintenance applications.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for and when is the MetavCUT Twist Drill recommended?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT is primarily used for drilling metal; it excels when machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters because its geometry and alloyed composition withstand greater loads and temperatures during cutting.

Which three drill types exist and how does the MetavCUT Twist Drill compare?
Common categories are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Stone/Concrete Drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal Drills group and is optimised for metalworking through its HSS‑E material and Type N geometry.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The pointed tip reduces the cross‑cutting edge at the drill’s nose, which lowers friction and required feed forces; this sharper centring improves hole accuracy and reduces wandering when using a Twist Drill from MetavCUT.

Can you use a Twist Drill to drill wood?
A Metal Drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish will be inferior compared with dedicated Wood Drills; metal drills are easier to resharpen and typically show less self‑feeding in soft materials.
