Twist Drill — Type N short HSS-G, Ø 2.3 mm, 118° tip, bright finished

The Twist Drill Type N short is a precision metalworking drill for Drilling Machines and Hand Drills, offering a short design, fully ground shank and compliance with DIN 338 for stable, accurate metal drilling.

• Twist Drill Type N for precise Metal Drilling
• Short design for increased Stability
• HSS-G Material for sharp, durable cutting
• 118° Tip Angle for easy penetration
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity

Higher productivity for metalworking thanks to optimized geometry

The MetavCUT Profi Line short Twist Drill is designed for efficient metal drilling: the HSS‑G material and CNC grinding deliver very sharp cutting edges and a high degree of concentricity. This results in up to 40% faster drilling and requires about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills, which reduces operator effort and cycle times. The 118° Tip Angle supports easy penetration in many metals while maintaining clean hole entry.

Short execution increases stability and precision in hard materials

A shorter overall length and reduced overhang significantly lower the tendency to deflect, making the short Twist Drill ideal for precise holes in Alloyed and Carbon Steel, Cast Iron and Hart Plastics. Classified to DIN 338 as a short spiral drill with cylindrical shank, this Type N geometry is the classic solution for metalworking where stability and repeatability matter most. The construction supports stationary and portable Drilling Machines under appropriate cooling.

Ground shank and surface finish ensure concentricity and tool life

The fully ground Shank and bright finished surface improve clamping accuracy and runout behaviour in chucks and collets, which benefits tool life and hole quality. "HSS‑G" denotes that the flutes and geometry are produced by grinding rather than rolling; this yields very sharp cutting edges and superior runout precision. For best results in metal applications, use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate spindle speeds to avoid thermal overload.

Who benefits and typical applications

Workshops, toolrooms and industrial maintenance departments that require consistent, precise holes in metals will value the MetavCUT short Twist Drill. Its robustness and geometry suit tasks from prototype work to small-batch production, especially when drilling up to medium diameters where stability is critical. The short execution also simplifies control when drilling near edges or in confined setups.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills, like the MetavCUT Profi Line Twist Drill Type N, are primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; their geometry and grindability make them suitable for demanding metalworking tasks and they retain performance under higher loads.

Which 3 drill types exist?
There are three main drill categories: Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills, and the MetavCUT Profi Line Twist Drill Type N belongs to the Metal drills group designed specifically for metalworking applications.
