Twist Drill — Short HSS‑G Metal Drill, 1.9 mm, 118° Tip, Type N, Bright Finished, Short Execution, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a short HSS‑G Type N metal drill designed for precise drilling in metal on a Drilling Machine and suitable for demanding workshop and industrial applications.

• Short HSS‑G design for higher stability
• 1.9 mm diameter for fine, precise holes
• 118° tip angle for reliable centering in metals
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Durable Material for Consistent Results and Longer Tool Life

Made from HSS‑G, this short Twist Drill delivers high hardness and sharp cutting edges that produce clean holes in Metal. The ground flute geometry ensures excellent chip evacuation and reduces friction, which benefits tool life. Because the drill is manufactured with a CNC grinding process rather than roll forming, users gain high Rundlaufgenauigkeit and precise hole quality, especially important when working with alloys or cast materials.

Short Design That Improves Stability and Precision at the Cut

A shorter overall length reduces overhang and increases stability during drilling, which decreases the tendency to wander or bend under load. The short execution is particularly advantageous when drilling in hard Materials such as Steel, Cast Iron and Tempered Alloys, providing better concentricity and less vibration. This design therefore enables more consistent hole diameters and improved surface finish even under higher cutting forces.

Geometry and Cutting Behaviour Optimised for Metalworking

The 118° tip angle and Type N spiral geometry represent the classic metalworking configuration, supporting good centering and controlled chip formation. The sharpened tip reduces quench forces at initial contact and helps avoid skidding on curved surfaces. The fully ground shank and flute profile facilitate accurate clamping and runout behaviour, which is essential for demanding assembly or precision manufacturing tasks.

Who Benefits and How to Use This Tool Effectively

Designed for machinists and metalworkers, the Profi Line Twist Drill from MetavCUT is ideal for tasks requiring fine diameters and repeatable accuracy. Use on fixed or portable Drilling Machines with appropriate coolant for long tool life; the shorter geometry suits tight setups or jig work. For less experienced users, coolant and moderate spindle speeds are recommended to reduce heat and prolong cutting edge life.

FAQ

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a hand drill as well as a drilling machine?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N, HSS‑G) is primarily optimised for use on a Drilling Machine to ensure low runout and consistent cooling, but it can also be used in a Hand Drill if the chuck provides secure clamping and the correct speeds and coolant are applied to avoid overheating.

Is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for drilling alloyed steels?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill from the Profi Line is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron and other Metals; its ground HSS‑G geometry gives sharp cutting edges that perform well in such Materials when used with appropriate feeds and coolant.

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills are mainly used for machining high‑strength Materials and larger hole diameters; this form is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for demanding applications in Metalworking.

Which three drill types exist?
The main drill types are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills.
