Twist Drill — Type N Short HSS‑G, Ø 5.8 mm, 135° Tip, Bright Finished (MetavCUT)

A short Twist Drill (Type N) for precision metalworking, designed for use in Drilling Machines and hand drills with a 135° tip for harder materials.

• Short HSS‑G design for improved stability
• 135° Tip for drilling harder materials
• Fully ground shank for excellent concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent quality

Higher Productivity through Short Design and Reduced Feed Force

The Twist Drill in a short execution delivers greater rigidity and reduced deflection thanks to its shorter overhang. The HSS‑G ground geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS variants, resulting in quicker cycle times and less operator effort. This makes the tool particularly effective for demanding metal applications where accuracy and throughput matter.

Precise Holes and Better Guidance for Hard Materials

A fully ground shank and the Type N normal spiral geometry ensure superior concentricity and clean hole quality. The 135° tip angle is optimised for harder materials such as stainless and alloyed steels, reducing the risk of walking on the surface and shortening plunge time. Compliance with DIN 338 guarantees standardised dimensions and interchangeability for workshop workflows.

Designed for Professional Metalworking and Workshop Use

This short drill is aimed at machinists, maintenance technicians and professional workshops that require robust, repeatable results in metal. The ground flute geometry makes regrinding straightforward while preserving cutting edges; consequently, the tool offers longevity and simple refurbishment. Use the drill where stable clamping and coolant supply are available to maximise life and hole quality.

Practical Handling Tips to Avoid Breakage and Extend Life

Because ground short drills can be more brittle than rolled types, operate the tool with appropriate coolant and moderate speeds for the drilled material. Secure Workpiece clamping and minimal overhang are recommended to exploit the stability advantage. For best results in portable hand drills, ensure good axial support and avoid excessive side loads to reduce the risk of fracture.
