Twist Drill Profi Line (Type N) – 3.7 mm · 135° Tip · Short · Bright Finished · DIN 338 · HSS‑G

The Twist Drill Profi Line is a short Type N metal drill designed for precision drilling in hard materials on drilling machines and hand drills.

• Short design for increased stability and precision
• HSS‑G ground geometry for faster, cleaner holes
• 135° tip angle suited for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for improved runout accuracy
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardised short drills

High performance for demanding metalworking with measurable gains

The short construction and HSS‑G CNC ground geometry deliver higher stability and precision when machining metal. The reduced overhang minimises bending and chatter, allowing a worker to drill with up to 40% faster advance and requiring about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS designs. The result is cleaner holes and reduced rework in applications such as alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel and hard plastics.

Short design and Type N spiral for reliable centring and durability

A shorter overall length means less lateral flex and better concentricity; combined with the Type N normal spiral this design provides dependable chip evacuation for metalworking. The drill is manufactured to DIN 338, the standard for short twist drills with a cylindrical shank, so workshop planning and holder compatibility are simplified. The fully ground flutes produce sharp cutting edges and high roundness, which favours accurate, repeatable holemaking.

Suited applications and user groups — who benefits most

Craftsmen, maintenance technicians and precision workshops benefit from this short 3.7 mm configuration for controlled drilling in tougher materials. Typical uses include machining on drilling machines, repair work and toolroom operations where small diameters and deep accuracy are required. The combination of short spiral length and 135° point angle reduces walking on start-up and improves performance when penetrating hard surfaces such as stainless steel.

Usage tips to extend tool life and ensure best results

For best results use adequate coolant and moderate spindle speeds matched to the material; the 135° point reduces entry forces but may require slower speeds on softer metals to avoid work hardening. Because CNC‑ground HSS tools can be slightly more brittle than rolled versions, avoid excessive shock loading and prefer stationary or machine drilling with steady feed. Regrinding is possible; the geometry allows straightforward resharpening while maintaining centring behaviour.

FAQ

What materials is the Twist Drill Profi Line suitable for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Profi Line is optimised for metalworking; its HSS‑G ground geometry and 135° tip make it particularly effective on alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, gusseisen and hard plastics, providing clean holes and reduced tool wear under appropriate speeds and coolant.

For what is a Twist Drill primarily used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters. The short, ground form is easy to resharpen and withstands high loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking where stability and precision are required.

Which three drill types exist?
Commonly distinguished drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills, each engineered for the specific material properties they encounter.
