Twist Drill — Type N short HSS‑E, Ø 11.1 mm, 135°, 5% cobalt‑alloyed

The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS‑E metal drill designed for precise, stable drilling in hard materials and manufactured to DIN 338 standards.

• Twist Drill Type N, short design
• 11.1 mm Diameter for precise holes
• 135° Tip for hard materials such as stainless steel
• HSS‑E with 5% cobalt for increased wear resistance
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity and accuracy

Durable material for demanding metalwork

Crafted from HSS‑E with 5% cobalt, this short Twist Drill delivers improved heat resistance and edge stability when drilling tougher alloys. The cobalt alloy raises the red‑hardness of the steel, which means the Cutting Edge keeps its form longer under elevated temperatures. For users this translates to fewer tool changes and more consistent hole quality when working with Alloyed Steel or Stainless Steel.

Precision and stability in confined setups

Thanks to the reduced overall length and shorter overhang, the short design provides superior stability and less tendency to deflect during drilling. This results in more accurate hole position and improved roundness. The 135° tip angle is optimised for harder materials: it reduces initial cutting forces and improves centring when starting the hole, making the bit particularly suitable for stationary and handheld drilling machines under demanding conditions.

Ground geometry and machining quality

The Twist Drill is fully ground (HSS‑G style), which gives sharp cutting lips and a precise flute geometry for clean chip evacuation. Ground bores typically produce smoother hole surfaces and tighter tolerances compared with roll‑formed alternatives. For the operator this means easier reaming or finishing and reduced rework when tight bore quality is required.

Conformity and recommended applications

Manufactured according to DIN 338, the short Twist Drill is intended primarily for metalworking tasks on drilling machines and drilling units. Typical applications include drilling in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑ferrous Metals and select Plastics. The Type N flute geometry represents the classic metal drill configuration, optimised for general metal drilling rather than soft wood or masonry.

Handling tips and tool life optimisation

To prolong tool life and ensure consistent results, use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate feed rates, especially when drilling steels above 6 mm diameter. Short drills are less prone to breakage but still benefit from cooling and stable clamping. If resharpening is required, the ground geometry allows predictable reconditioning, though precision resharpening is recommended to maintain the original tip angle and cutting geometry.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily applied for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its geometry is easy to sharpen and endures higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types are commonly distinguished?
The three main drill categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills, each optimised in flute geometry and tip design for their respective materials.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used for drilling wood?
A Metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in Wood but will generally provide poorer guidance and a less clean finish; however it is easier to resharpen and shows less self‑feeding compared with specialised wood bits.
