MetavCUT Twist Drill — 13 mm | 135° | Type N | 5% cobalt‑alloyed | short | DIN 338 | HSS‑E

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a short Type N metalworking drill designed for high‑precision holes in steel and other metals, offering a 13 mm diameter, 135° tip angle and HSS‑E construction for increased heat resistance.

• Twist Drill Type N, 13 mm diameter
• 135° tip angle for hard materials
• 5% cobalt‑alloyed HSS‑E for heat resistance
• Short design for high stability and precision
• Fully ground shank for excellent runout accuracy

Precision and durability for demanding metalwork

The short, HSS‑E construction with 5% cobalt optimises heat resistance and edge stability when drilling metals. The 135° tip angle reduces wandering on hard surfaces and improves centring in stainless and alloyed steels. Because the flute geometry is fully ground, the Cutting Edges are especially sharp and produce clean holes with low burr formation. This makes the drill particularly suitable for workshop use on stationary and portable Drilling Machines where consistent hole quality matters.

Short length for stable, accurate results

A reduced overall length minimises the cantilever effect and lowers the risk of deflection during operation. This short format yields higher rigidity and repeatable hole positions, especially important in precision assemblies. Choose this format when working on tight fixtures or when tool stability is essential; the design helps to avoid chatter and delivers more accurate diameters with less rework.

Intended applications and suitable materials

Designed as a classic metalworking tool of Type N, this twist drill is aimed at professional machinists, toolrooms and metal fabrication shops. It is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and certain plastics. For general metal drilling tasks where a robust, heat‑resistant bit is required, this cutter provides consistent performance and long tool life under moderated cutting speeds and adequate coolant.

Care, usage tips and technical explanation

To prolong service life, use appropriate cutting speeds, apply coolant when drilling steels, and avoid excessive feed that could overload the Cutting Edge. The designation Type N refers to the standard spiral geometry for metal; the 135° point reduces the need for pilot holes in harder materials. A fully ground flute means the helix and chisel edge are formed by grinding for superior concentricity; note that ground bits can be more brittle than rolled types and benefit from stable mounting and controlled cooling.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N are primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters. They are often selected for metalworking because the geometry is relatively easy to sharpen and withstands higher loading; the form is suitable for drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel and larger diameters where robustness is required.

Which 3 drill types are there?
The three common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill is part of the metal drill category and is optimised for metalworking operations with appropriate machine settings.
