Twist Drill — Type N short HSS‑E, 10.9 mm, 135° (5% cobalt‑alloyed)

The Twist Drill is a short Type N drill bit designed for precision metalworking with drilling machines, offering a 10.9 mm diameter and a 135° point angle for hard materials.

• Short design for increased stability
• 10.9 mm Diameter for precise holes
• 135° Point angle for hard metals
• HSS‑E with 5% cobalt for wear resistance
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy

Durable Material for Longer Tool Life and Tough Conditions

The short Twist Drill is manufactured from HSS‑E (High Speed Steel with Cobalt), which increases heat resistance and wear performance when drilling hard or alloyed Metals. Because the alloy contains 5% cobalt, the Bit sustains higher temperatures without losing hardness, so users benefit from longer tool life during demanding operations. The short design reduces overhang and therefore lowers bending stress, resulting in fewer tool failures under heavy loads and higher process reliability.

Precision Drilling and Why the 135° Point Angle Matters

With a 135° Point Angle the Twist Drill penetrates hard Materials more cleanly and with reduced walking on the surface, which improves centring and minimises rework. The fully ground flute geometry produces sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy, delivering clean, accurate Holes in Steel and other tough Metals. For customers unfamiliar with drilling geometry: a larger Point Angle spreads the cutting action over a wider area, slowing penetration slightly but reducing the risk of chipping in stainless or hardened Steels.

Best Applications and Machine Compatibility

This short Type N Twist Drill is optimised for use in a Drilling Machine or portable Hand Drills when rigidity and precision are required. The design follows DIN 338, the standard for short cylindrical‑shank twist drills, ensuring consistent length and tolerance for industrial setups. Use with appropriate coolant and moderate feed rates for the best results on alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Plastics. For thin materials or soft Woods, alternative specialised Bits yield better finish and guidance.

Practical Advantages for Professional Users

Because of the reduced flute length, the Bit exhibits less deflection and greater stability, making it especially suitable for accurate positioning and repeatable production runs. The 10.9 mm Diameter is ideal for through‑holes in metalwork where tight tolerances matter. The short, ground construction enables easier regrinding and maintenance compared with rolled alternatives, which suits workshops that prefer to refurbish tools on site rather than replace them frequently.

Who Should Choose This Drill and Why It Stands Out

Engineers, machinists and maintenance technicians working with moderate to high‑strength Metals will benefit most from the Twist Drill’s balance of durability and accuracy. The combination of HSS‑E material, a short overall length and a fully ground shank provides a robust solution for industrial and workshop environments where repeatability and tool life are priorities. This Bit is part of the Standard Line by MetavCUT and is designed to meet common industrial demands without the need for specialised handling.
