Twist Drill — Short Type N HSS‑E 10.6 mm, 135°, 5% Cobalt‑Alloyed (MetavCUT Standard Line)

The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS‑E metal drill designed for precise drilling in hard materials with a 10.6 mm diameter and a 135° tip.

• Short design for greater stability
• 10.6 mm diameter for precise holes
• 135° tip for harder materials like stainless steel
• 5% cobalt‑alloyed HSS‑E for improved wear resistance
• Fully ground shank, compliant with DIN 338

Higher precision and consistent hole quality for metalworking

The Twist Drill from MetavCUT delivers consistent hole geometry thanks to its HSS‑E composition and precise ground flutes. The 5% cobalt‑alloyed steel increases red‑hardness and wear resistance, so the tool maintains its cutting edge longer when working in alloyed steels. For professional users this means fewer re‑drills and more reliable hole tolerances. The 135° tip reduces walking when starting a bore in hard materials, improving initial centring and reducing the need for pilot holes.

Short length for greater rigidity and accuracy in demanding tasks

A short execution reduces overhang and significantly limits deflection under load. With an overall length of 133 mm and a spiral length of 87 mm, this short Twist Drill provides enhanced stability on drilling machines, particularly when machining tough metals. The Type N normal spiral optimises chip removal for metalworking applications while the fully ground flutes ensure high roundness and clean hole edges. This combination is well suited to precise, stationary and mobile drilling in workshop environments.

Designed for metal applications and professional users

Intended primarily as a Drill for Metal, the MetavCUT Standard Line Twist Drill is aimed at metalworkers, toolrooms and maintenance professionals who demand repeatable results in Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Plastics. The Type N geometry is not ideal for very soft materials; for such tasks alternative geometries are preferable. The DIN 338 compliance assures standardised dimensions and makes selection and replacement straightforward in industrial settings.

Regrinding, cooling and tips for longer tool life

Because this Twist Drill is fully ground, it offers very sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy; however, ground drills can be more brittle than rolled variants and benefit from controlled use. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling alloyed steels to reduce heat and prolong life. The 135° point reduces thrust and improves centring; if regrinding is needed, maintain the point geometry to preserve performance. For handheld operation, ensure firm clamping or use a drilling stand to exploit the short drill’s stability.

FAQ

Can I use the Twist Drill (MetavCUT Type N) with a handheld drilling machine?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill with its short execution is suitable for use in a handheld Drilling Machine, but performance improves with firm clamping or a drill stand; the reduced overhang helps stability when hand‑held operation is necessary.

How should the MetavCUT Twist Drill be maintained to maximise life?
Regular use of cutting fluid, correct speeds and feeds for HSS‑E material, and careful regrinding while preserving the 135° point will keep the MetavCUT Twist Drill performing well; fully ground geometry benefits from controlled sharpening.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill by MetavCUT is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger bore diameters; this form is easy to resharpen and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metalwork.

Which 3 drill types exist?
Common drill categories are Metal Drills (like the MetavCUT Type N), Wood Drills, and Masonry/Stone‑Concrete Drills.
