Twist Drill MetavCUT Profi Line — Type N, 6.1 mm, HSS‑G, Short, 135°, Bright Finished

A short MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N for precise metal Drilling Machine work, optimised for hard materials and high stability.

• Short design for higher stability
• HSS‑G material for sharp, clean holes
• 135° tip angle for hard metals
• Fully ground shaft for superior runout
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short drills

Greater Stability for Accurate Holes

Short design reduces the unsupported length of the cutting tool, which directly improves Stability and reduces deflection during machining. The Short 6.1 mm geometry combined with a Fully Ground shaft leads to higher concentricity and cleaner bores when used in a Drilling Machine. As a result, fewer rework operations are required and hole tolerance is easier to maintain.

Faster Penetration in Tough Materials

Built from HSS‑G, this Short Type N drill achieves up to 40% faster drilling and requires around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills under comparable conditions. The 135° tip angle is optimised for harder substrates such as stainless steel and tempered alloys, shortening the initial breakthrough time and lowering axial loads on the machine spindle.

Precise Application and Recommended Use

Designed for metalworking, the Twist Drill Type N excels in drilling Alloyed and Unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron and Non‑Ferrous Metals. The shortened spiral length limits chatter and makes this drill particularly suited for precise bench, column and stationary machining where coolant can be applied. For manual handfeeding in a Drilling Machine, the improved stability ensures repeatable centre positioning.

Manufacturing Quality and Standards for Reliability

Produced to DIN 338 as part of the Profi Line, the drill is delivered with a bright finished surface and a ground flute geometry that gives very sharp cutting edges and excellent runout characteristics. Ground flutes (HSS‑G) provide cleaner chips and a defined cutting geometry, though they can be more brittle than rolled variants and therefore benefit from controlled machining parameters and adequate cooling.

FAQ

What materials can the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N be used on?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily specified for metalworking and is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron and non‑ferrous metals; its HSS‑G construction and 135° tip make it particularly effective on harder materials.

Is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N suitable for handheld drilling?
The short configuration and fully ground shaft of the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N improve stability and centring, so it can be used in hand drilling applications, but best results are achieved with a stationary Drilling Machine and appropriate coolant to avoid undue stress on the tool.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters. This form is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads while maintaining good cutting performance.

Which 3 drill types exist?
The three main drill categories are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened?
Sharpening reduces the cross‑edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, significantly lowering friction and therefore reducing the required feed force; it also improves centring of the tip in the workpiece.

Can a metal drill be used in wood?
A metal drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are usually inferior compared with purpose‑made wood bits; metal drills are easier to regrind and typically have less aggressive self‑feed.
