Twist Drill (Short) — 11.2 mm, 135° Tip, Type N, 5% Cobalt-Alloyed, HSS‑E, DIN 338 by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill short Type N is a precision metal-drilling tool designed for stable, accurate holes in hard materials and machine or handheld drilling applications.

• Short Design for improved stability
• 11.2 mm Diameter for precise holemaking
• 135° Tip for drilling hard materials
• 5% Cobalt-Alloyed HSS‑E for increased wear resistance
• Fully Ground Shank for high runout accuracy

Precision and strength for demanding metalwork

Built for operators who require repeatable results, the HSS‑E construction with 5% Cobalt-Alloyed composition delivers superior heat and wear resistance compared with standard HSS. The 11.2 mm Diameter combined with a 135° Tip Angle shortens punch-in time on harder alloys, while the short overall length reduces vibration and improves concentricity. This results in cleaner holes and longer tool life when drilling Steel, Cast Iron and Non‑Ferrous Metals.

Short design that enhances stability and accuracy

Because of the reduced overhang, the short execution increases rigidity during drilling and lowers the risk of deflection. The Fully Ground shank and flute geometry ensure excellent concentricity and chip evacuation, which helps to maintain dimensional accuracy even under higher feeds. For precision tasks on stationary or portable machines, this design choice means fewer reworks and more consistent part quality.

Suited applications and user groups

This Twist Drill Type N is primarily intended for Metalworking applications where axial stability and tool life matter. It is suitable for professional workshops, maintenance departments and fabrication shops needing reliable holemaking in alloyed and unalloyed steels as well as certain non‑ferrous materials and plastics. The short format is particularly useful for confined setups and fixtures where reduced chatter improves results.

Why DIN 338 and the chosen geometry matter

Manufactured to DIN 338, the short Twist Drill with a 135° point is optimised for harder materials and better centring when starting a hole without pilot operations. DIN 338 describes the standards for short cylindrical shank drills and their production methods; a ground flute drill offers sharper cutting edges and higher runout accuracy compared with rolled variants. For operators less familiar with these terms: DIN 338 is the specification ensuring consistent dimensions and performance across batches.
