Twist Drill (Type N) — MetavCUT Profi Line, 2 mm, short, HSS‑G, DIN 338, bright finished

The MetavCUT Profi Line Twist Drill is a short Type N metalworking bit designed for precise drilling in metals using a Drilling Machine, featuring a 2 mm Diameter, 118° Point Angle, fully ground Shaft and HSS‑G material

• MetavCUT Profi Line Twist Drill
• Short design for increased Stability
• Fully ground shaft for high Precision
• HSS‑G for fast metal drilling
• 118° point angle for easier Centring

Precise metalworking with higher stability and control

The short Twist Drill construction improves Stability by reducing the overhang from the Chuck, which lowers the tendency to flex and deflect during drilling. This compact geometry specifically benefits work in confined set‑ups and on drilling machines where rigidity matters. As a result, users achieve cleaner holes and extended tool life when compared to longer bits under the same conditions.

Faster cutting and lower feed thanks to HSS‑G

A HSS‑G (ground High Speed Steel) geometry offers sharper cutting edges and a consistently precise flute profile. For the MetavCUT Profi Line Twist Drill this translates into up to 40% faster drilling and around 50% less thrust compared with conventional HSS variants, making the tool especially effective on alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Gusseisen and other hard substrates. Ground drills deliver superior runout accuracy which is vital for repeatable, professional results.

Why the 118° point and Type N matter for metal

Using a 118° Point Angle helps the MetavCUT Twist Drill to centre reliably on flat and slightly curved surfaces while providing a balanced entry into many metals. The designation Type N identifies the Normal spiral geometry – the classic choice for metalworking – optimised for chip evacuation and steady feed rates. For workshop operators this combination reduces wandering at the start of the hole and supports consistent hole quality.

Practical handling and recommended applications

The fully ground Shaft Finish improves grip in the Chuck and enhances concentricity, which benefits precision drills in production or maintenance. Due to its short overall length and robust profile, this Twist Drill is recommended for demanding operations on Drilling Machines and stationary equipment. Cooling or intermittent pecking is advised for deeper holes or tougher alloys to avoid overheating and premature wear.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters in metalworking; its ground geometry is easy to re‑grind and withstands high loads while providing clean, precise holes.

Which three drill types exist?
Common drill categories are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill falls into the Metal Drill category and is optimised for steel and similar materials.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened?
Sharpening reduces the cross‑cutting edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, which lowers friction and therefore the required feed forces, while also improving centring of the drill tip in the workpiece.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used to drill wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in Wood, but guidance and finish are generally inferior compared with dedicated Wood Drills; metal bits are easier to re‑grind and typically have less self‑pulling action.
