Twist Drill — Short Type N Metal Drill, 3.3 mm, 135°, HSS‑G, Bright Finished

The Twist Drill is a short Type N metal drill designed for precise drilling in hard materials with a 3.3 mm diameter and a 135° tip angle for industrial Drilling Machine applications.

• Short design for higher stability
• Sharp CNC‑ground geometry for clean holes
• 135° tip angle for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for excellent concentricity

Stability and faster machining for demanding metalwork

A short design reduces the unsupported length and significantly increases Stability during drilling, which results in less bending and more precise holes in steels and other hard materials. The HSS‑G ground geometry enables up to 40% faster penetration while requiring about 50% less feed force than conventional HSS variants, so machining cycles are shorter and operator effort is reduced. This makes the tool particularly suitable where repeatable, tight‑tolerance holes are required.

Built for hard materials with an optimised tip geometry

The combination of a 135° tip angle and the classic Type N spiral is optimised for tougher workpieces such as stainless steels and cast materials. A larger tip angle shortens the time to break through the surface and improves centring on hard substrates. The term HSS‑G indicates a ground flute geometry produced by CNC grinding, which creates very sharp cutting edges and high roundness accuracy—advantages that pay off when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels.

Dimensions and machine compatibility for practical workshop use

With a 3.3 mm diameter, a Spiral Length of 36 mm and an Overall Length of 65 mm, this short twist drill fits standard chucks on conventional Drilling Machines and is the right choice where lateral rigidity is essential. The Fully Ground Shank ensures excellent concentricity in the chuck, reducing run‑out and vibration. The bright finished surface aids chip evacuation and visual inspection of the cutting geometry.

Who benefits and where to deploy this professional tool

Metalworkers, maintenance teams and precision toolrooms appreciate the Profi Line quality of this MetavCUT product when producing repeatable holes in metal components. The short, ground design is ideal for stationary or portable Drilling Machine operations where stability, hole quality and efficient cycle times matter. For tasks demanding high edge quality and consistent diameter, this twist drill provides the right balance of toughness and sharpness.

FAQ

For what is the Twist Drill used?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger drilling diameters in metalworking. This short, ground form is easy to re‑grind and withstands higher loads, which makes it suitable for steels, cast irons and non‑ferrous metals while delivering clean, precise holes.

Which 3 drill types exist?
In general drill categorisation there are three main types: metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for machining metals rather than timber or masonry.
