Twist Drill (Type N) — short, 4.3 mm, HSS‑G, DIN 338, bright finished

The Twist Drill (Type N) short is a precision metalworking drill for Drilling Machines, providing a 4.3 mm diameter, 135° tip angle and a bright finished, fully ground shank for stable, accurate machining.

• Short design for increased stability
• HSS‑G material for high wear resistance
• 135° tip angle for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for precise runout
• Conforms to DIN 338 standard

Precision and performance for demanding metalwork

Designed for metalworking applications, the Twist Drill from MetavCUT combines a short design with a fully ground geometry to reduce deflection and improve positional accuracy. This shorter projection decreases the lever arm during drilling, which leads to noticeably better stability and less tendency to wander when starting a hole. The result is consistent hole quality and reduced rework effort in workshop and production environments.

Material and longevity: why HSS‑G matters

Built from HSS‑G (ground high speed steel), this short twist drill achieves a sharp cutting geometry with excellent edge quality. Ground manufacturing produces a cleaner flute profile and higher concentricity, which translates into faster penetration and longer tool life when paired with appropriate cooling. For operations in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels and non‑ferrous metals, the material choice balances toughness and hardness for reliable performance.

Geometry optimized for hard materials and accuracy

A 135° tip angle is selected to improve entry and reduce chipping when working with harder materials such as stainless steel. The Type N normal spiral flute geometry offers predictable chip evacuation and good centring characteristics on metal substrates. Because the tip and flute form are ground rather than rolled, the drill produces clean, round holes with reduced burr formation under the correct machining parameters and coolant use.

Suitable applications and who benefits most

Workshops and machine shops that require precise, repeatable metal drilling benefit from the short Twist Drill Type N configuration. The tool is especially suitable for tasks on stationary and portable Drilling Machines where rigidity is essential, such as component manufacture, maintenance and toolroom work. Its characteristics make it a practical choice for machinists focused on hole quality and production efficiency.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N short mainly used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N short is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger metal bore diameters. Its short geometry and ground flute design allow easier regrinding, good centring and sustained performance under higher loads.

Which three drill types exist?
The main categories are Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Masonry/Concrete Drill. The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for ferrous and non‑ferrous metals.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is applied chiefly in the machining of high‑strength materials and larger diameters. Its form is easy to regrind and it withstands substantial loads, making it suitable for tough metalworking tasks.

Why are twist drills pointed (what is the purpose of the point)?
Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of the twist drill, which significantly lowers friction and therefore requires less feed force. Pointing also improves centring of the drill on the workpiece ensuring more accurate starts and straighter holes.
