Twist Drill Profi Line – 4.6 mm, 135° Point, Type N, Bright Finished, Short, HSS‑G, DIN 338

A Twist Drill (Type N) designed as a short HSS‑G metal drill for high‑precision work in hard materials using drilling machines.

• Short design for higher stability and precision
• HSS‑G ground for sharp, clean metal holes
• 135° point angle for hard materials and stainless steel
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylinder shank drills

Drill harder materials faster with less feed force

The HSS‑G ground geometry delivers high cutting performance: because the flute geometry is ground, the Cutting Edge is exceptionally sharp and the tool achieves up to 40% faster drilling while requiring 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. This results in shorter cycle times and less operator effort when machining alloyed and unalloyed Steel. For demanding metalworking tasks the ground geometry also improves runout and produces clean, precise Holes that reduce rework.

Short overall length for higher rigidity and precision

A reduced Overall Length and a shorter Projection significantly lower deflection during drilling. With a Spiral Length of 47 mm and a Gesamtlänge (Overall Length) of 86 mm, the compact design increases Stability, especially when drilling with a Drilling Machine or on stationary equipment. The Type N normal spiral is optimised for general metalworking, providing reliable chip removal and predictable behaviour when entering and exiting the workpiece.

Targeted for metalworking professionals and workshop use

This Profi Line short Twist Drill is intended for machinists, toolrooms and maintenance workshops that require reproducible, precise holes in materials such as Steel, Cast Iron, Tempered Cast, Sintered Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics. The compact form factor is particularly useful in fixtures and jigs where access is limited. If a manual Drilling Machine is used, the short design lowers chatter and improves operator confidence during series production.

Ground vs rolled: what to expect and how to use it

“Ground” means flutes and geometry are produced by CNC grinding rather than roll forming; the result is very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, which produce cleaner holes in metal. However, ground HSS tools can be more brittle than rolled types and benefit from controlled cooling and moderate feed rates; they are best used on stationary machines with appropriate coolant when drilling deeper or harder materials. For safe and durable operation, ensure correct clamping and cooling, and avoid excessive side loads.
