MetavCUT Twist Drill — Short, Type N, 4.4 mm, HSS‑G, DIN 338, 135° tip, Bright Finished

The Twist Drill is a short HSS‑G metalworking drill designed for precise drilling on Drilling Machines and professional workshop use.

• Short design for increased stability
• Diameter 4.4 mm for precise positioning
• 135° tip for hard materials such as stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• Complies with DIN 338 for short twist drills

Precision and performance for demanding metalwork

The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Short, Type N) combines HSS‑G material and a 135° tip geometry to enable efficient penetration in hard materials. The shortened overall length and flute length reduce overhang and vibration, which results in a more stable cut and better hole quality. According to manufacturer data, the ground HSS design can achieve up to 40% faster drilling with roughly 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS bits, providing a clear productivity advantage in serial and precision tasks.

Durable design with ground geometry for clean holes

A ground flute geometry (CNC‑grind) gives this short twist drill very sharp cutting edges and excellent runout accuracy, which produces clean, burr‑reduced holes in metal. HSS‑G construction is ideal for machining alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and non‑ferrous metals. Because ground drills can be more brittle than rolled designs, using appropriate cooling and steady fixturing is recommended to maximise tool life and prevent breakage during heavy‑duty operations.

Best suited applications and user groups

This Twist Drill is developed for professional workshops, toolrooms and industrial maintenance where precise metal drilling is required. Typical applications include drilling in Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Castings, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics. The short Type N geometry makes the bit particularly suitable for machining on Drilling Machines where stability and repeatable accuracy are priorities, rather than for freehand soft‑material work.

Why tip angle and short length matter for results

A 135° point angle decreases initial punching time and helps centre the drill on hard materials, reducing walk‑off and improving hole position. The short execution lowers bending moments and allows higher spindle speeds with less deflection, delivering better concentricity and longer service intervals for reaming or finishing operations. In practice, “geschliffen” (ground) means the flute geometry is cut by grinding rather than roll forming, which yields superior edge sharpness and precision at the expense of slightly increased brittleness.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Short, Type N) are primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters. The short, ground geometry is easy to sharpen and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking tasks and robust industrial applications.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common drill categories: metal drills, wood drills, and stone/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for use in metalworking environments.
