MetavCUT Twist Drill — Type N short, Ø 5.4 mm, HSS‑G, DIN 338, 135°

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a short Type N twist drill for Drilling Machines designed for precise metalworking, offering a 5.4 mm diameter, 135° tip angle and a HSS‑G ground geometry for high accuracy.

• Short Design for higher Stability
• 5.4 mm Diameter for precise Metalwork
• 135° Tip for hard Materials like Stainless Steel
• HSS‑G Ground for sharp, accurate Holes
• Conforms to DIN 338 for reliable Standards

Faster, More Stable Drilling for Demanding Metalwork

Compared with standard lengths, the short design reduces the exposed length of the tool and significantly increases stability and concentricity during operation. This leads to less vibration and more consistent hole quality when machining challenging Materials such as alloyed steel. The combination of fully ground shank and controlled geometry reduces required feed forces, which supports faster cycle times and lowers the risk of runout on both stationary and portable Drilling Machines.

Precision Cutting Geometry That Improves Results

A 135° tip angle and the ground flute geometry ensure reliable centring and smoother entry into hard Materials. The HSS‑G (ground high‑speed steel) construction produces very sharp cutting edges and high roundness accuracy, resulting in cleaner holes with reduced burr formation. For operators who demand repeatable hole quality, this configuration reduces the need for rework and simplifies downstream processes.

Designed for Metal: Materials and Applications

Engineered primarily for metalworking, this Type N short Twist Drill is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The tool is especially practical when drilling smaller diameters in tougher Materials where rigidity and accurate guidance are essential. Its specification aligns with DIN 338, which classifies short twist drills with cylindrical shanks and confirms suitability for both stationary and mobile metalworking setups.

Practical Advantages in Workshop Use

Shorter overall length results in easier handling and reduced deflection during hand‑held or machine work, improving operator confidence and throughput. The ground design (HSS‑G) is straightforward to resharpen when required and gives excellent surface finish in drilled holes. While ground drills tend to be less ductile than rolled equivalents, best practice is to use appropriate coolant and moderate feed rates to prolong tool life and maintain consistent performance.

Who Benefits Most from This Tool

Ideal for professional metalworkers, toolrooms and repair workshops where precision and repeatability matter, the MetavCUT short Type N Twist Drill supports reliable results in production and maintenance tasks. Engineers and technicians who require fast, predictable penetration in harder Materials will appreciate the reduced feed force and improved centring behavior, which together reduce cycle times and scrap rates.

FAQ

Is the MetavCUT Twist Drill suitable for stainless steel and hardened alloys?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill in Type N with a 135° tip and HSS‑G ground geometry is designed to handle harder Materials such as stainless steel and alloyed steels; the larger tip angle improves centring and reduces walking when starting a hole.

What are the benefits of the short version of this Twist Drill?
A short Twist Drill offers higher stability and less tendency to bend, which produces more precise holes and allows lower feed forces; the short design is therefore well suited to precise workshop and toolroom operations.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill, such as the MetavCUT Type N short Twist Drill, is mainly applied when machining high‑strength Materials and larger diameters; its shape is easy to resharpen and it endures substantial loads during metalworking.

Which three drill types exist?
The three primary drill categories are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Stone/Concrete Drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill falls into the Metal Drills category and is optimised for metalworking tasks.
