Twist Drill — MetavCUT Profi Line, 6.3 mm, 135°, Type N, Bright Finished, Short HSS‑G, DIN 338

The Twist Drill is a short Type N drill for Drilling Machines, designed for precise metal drilling in demanding industrial and workshop applications.

• Short design for higher stability
• HSS‑G ground for sharp cutting edges
• 135° tip angle for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for precise concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for standardised quality

Precision and faster drilling for metal components

The MetavCUT short Twist Drill with HSS‑G material combines resilient cutting performance with precise geometry. Its 6.3 mm diameter and 135° tip angle reduce entry forces when penetrating hard metals, shortening drilling time and improving hole quality. This design is particularly suitable when drilling stainless steel or alloyed steels, because the larger tip angle helps centre the tool and minimises wandering on the work surface, delivering cleaner, more accurate holes.

Short length increases rigidity and accuracy

A shorter overall length means less overhang and therefore significantly higher Stability during machining. The reduced cantilever of this short execution lowers bending and chatter, which allows higher feed rates and better surface finish when compared with longer drills. For bench and machine work where runout and concentricity matter, the short Profi Line variant gives reproducible results and reduces the risk of breakage under heavier cutting loads.

Ground geometry and material advantages explained

The designation HSS‑G indicates a ground High Speed Steel, produced with CNC grinding to form the flutes and cutting edges. This results in very sharp edges and excellent roundness, which translate into precise holes and easier regrinding when required. The fully ground shank ensures accurate clamping and minimises axial runout in standard Drilling Machines. Customers benefit from improved tool life in many metalworking tasks, provided suitable cooling and moderate cutting parameters are used.

Built for demanding metalworking tasks

This Type N normal‑spiral drill is optimised for a wide range of metallic materials. It is particularly recommended for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast and ductile irons, sintered metals and non‑ferrous metals, as well as hard plastics. The combination of short design, fully ground shank, and 135° tip supports reliable centring and consistent hole quality, making it a solid choice for toolrooms, maintenance shops and production environments focused on repeatable accuracy.

Who should choose this Profi Line short Twist Drill

Engineers, machinists and workshop professionals seeking reliable, precise metal drilling will appreciate the balance of speed and robustness offered by this tool. The short Twist Drill suits stationary and light moving machine applications where stability is crucial. For users prioritising easy reconditioning and sharp cut performance, the HSS‑G ground version offers straightforward resharpening and consistent results across repeated operations.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger bore diameters. Its short, ground geometry is easier to sharpen and remains durable under greater loads, which makes it suitable for industrial metal drilling where tool resilience and repeatable hole quality are required.

Which three drill types exist?
When comparing drill categories, there are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal drills group and is engineered specifically for metalworking tasks rather than woodworking or masonry.
