Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) — 12.6 mm, Type N, HSS‑E, Short, 135°, 5% cobalt‑alloyed, DIN 338 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N is a short, precision tool designed for stable, high‑performance metal drilling in demanding applications with a 135° point angle.

• Short design for increased stability
• 135° point angle for hard materials
• HSS‑E for high wear resistance
• Fully ground shank for precise runout
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent quality

High‑precision drilling for metal components that demand stability and accuracy

Short geometry delivers measurable advantages when the task is high‑precision metalworking. The Short construction of this Twist Drill reduces overhang and bending moment, resulting in significantly improved Stability and lower runout during cutting. Combined with the HSS‑E substrate and 5% cobalt alloying, the tool sustains edge integrity under elevated temperatures, which means cleaner holes and longer tool life when machining alloys and hardened steels.

Faster penetration and reduced breakout when working with tough materials

A 135° point angle reduces the tendency to wander at the moment of contact and spreads cutting forces to suit harder substrates. This geometry shortens contact time while maintaining control, so holes start cleanly without excessive burr formation. The Type N normal spiral profile is optimised for metal, offering reliable chip evacuation and stable cutting for a wide range of ferrous and non‑ferrous alloys.

Manufactured accuracy and material benefits for repeatable results

The Fully ground flute geometry produces sharp cutting lips and excellent concentricity, which translates to precise, repeatable hole diameters and superior surface finish. The HSS‑E material with 5% cobalt provides enhanced hot hardness and toughness, making the drill suitable for stainless steel, alloyed steel, cast iron and certain non‑ferrous materials. For workshop environments where predictable performance matters, these characteristics reduce rework and tool change frequency.

Suitable applications and recommended working conditions

This Twist Drill is particularly suited to workshop and on‑machine drilling where short length and rigidity are required, including handheld drilling machines and stationary drilling centres. Use moderate cutting speeds, adequate coolant for metallic applications and secure clamping to exploit the drill’s precision. For through‑holes up to medium depths typical of general metal fabrication, the tool provides efficient chip removal and reliable centring.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its geometry and material composition make it resilient under heavy loads. The short design and HSS‑E composition allow it to resist heat and maintain cutting performance when drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics.

Which three drill types are commonly available?
Three common drill categories are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for metalworking tasks with features such as a 135° point angle and a fully ground flute geometry.
