Twist Drill — short HSS‑G Metal Drill, 6.2 mm, 135°, Type N, Bright Finished

A short Twist Drill (Type N) designed for precision metalworking and use in drilling machines, offering high stability and fast cutting performance

• Short design for greater stability and precision
• HSS‑G material for sharp, durable cutting edges
• 135° tip angle for harder materials and faster entry
• Fully ground shank for excellent runout accuracy

Precision and Stability for Demanding Metalwork

Shorter overall length and a reduced overhang provide significantly higher stability during cutting operations. The combination of a short geometry and a fully ground shank minimises vibration and deflection, so holes remain concentric and tolerances are easier to hold. This design is especially advantageous when machining hard materials or when using smaller diameters, because the stiffer setup reduces the risk of chatter and improves hole quality.

Faster Cutting with Lower Feed Force

Thanks to the HSS‑G grind and optimized geometry, this drill achieves up to 40% faster drilling rates while requiring around 50% less feed force than conventional HSS tools. The 135° tip angle shortens penetration time in tough alloys and stainless steels by reducing the initial cutting resistance. For users this means quicker cycle times and reduced operator effort, particularly on demanding jobs where efficiency and repeatability matter.

Engineered for Metalworking and Machine Use

Designed to meet DIN 338, this short twist drill is tailored for metal applications including alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steels, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The Type N normal spiral makes it a versatile choice for conventional metal drilling. Because ground drills can be more brittle than roll‑formed types, it is recommended to use adequate cooling and, where possible, a machine setup rather than hand‑only operation to maximise tool life and prevent breakage.

Practical Advice for Safe and Accurate Results

When setting up, ensure the drill is clamped securely in a high‑precision chuck and that the workpiece is firmly supported to avoid movement. Start with a suitable pilot or centre drill where needed, and adapt cutting speeds to the material and drill diameter. Regular sharpening of the cutting lips maintains centring behaviour and hole finish; ground HSS tools deliver excellent runout accuracy but benefit from controlled feed and coolant during deep or interrupted cuts.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; it is especially applied to metalworking where robust performance is required. The design is easy to regrind and withstands higher loads, making it a common choice for drilling steels and tougher alloys.

Which three drill types are there?
The basic categories are Metal drills, Wood drills, and Stone/Concrete drills. Each type features geometry and flutes adapted to its target material to ensure effective chip evacuation and hole quality.

Can this Twist Drill be used in hand drills or only in machines?
The MetavCUT Profi Line short Twist Drill is optimised for machine use to exploit its stability and precision, but it can be used in a quality handheld drilling machine for light tasks. For heavy or deep drilling in hard materials, a stationary drilling machine and coolant are recommended to avoid excessive stress on the tool.

Why are twist drills point‑ground?
Point grinding reduces the cross‑edge at the tip, significantly lowering friction so less feed force is required. A ground point also improves centring in the workpiece, leading to more accurate hole positions and smoother drilling starts.
