Twist Drill (Type N) short HSS-G Ø 6.9 mm, 135°, bright finished

The Twist Drill Type N short HSS-G is a precision metal‑drilling tool for handheld and machine applications, designed for stable, fast and accurate holes in hard materials.

• Short Design for higher Stability
• HSS‑G ground for sharp edges and precision
• 135° Tip for hard metals and stainless steel
• Fully Ground shank for excellent concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

Engineered for faster, more stable metal drilling

Thanks to its short design, this Twist Drill offers a reduced overhang that significantly improves stability and lowers the risk of bending during operation. The HSS‑G ground geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling while requiring around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS variants, which means less operator effort and higher productivity for repetitive or demanding metal‑working tasks. Ideal for precise holes where runout and wobble must be minimised.

Precision through fully ground construction

This drill is produced with a fully ground flute geometry (HSS‑G), a manufacturing method that creates very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity. Ground Twist Drills deliver cleaner, more accurate holes and improved surface quality in metals. Note that ground tools can be somewhat more brittle than rolled versions, so coolant use and reduced overhang are recommended for long tool life and consistent results.

Geometry tailored to hard materials and accuracy

A 135° tip angle reduces entry forces and is optimised for harder workpiece materials such as stainless and alloyed steels. The classic Type N normal spiral is purpose‑built for metal drilling and ensures reliable chip removal and cutting action. Dimensions: Diameter 6.9 mm, Spiral Length 69 mm, Overall Length 109 mm, providing a compact yet effective form factor for demanding applications. The product meets DIN 338, the standard for short twist drills with cylindrical shanks.

Practical application and machine compatibility

Designed primarily for Drilling Machines and handheld drills where precision and stability are required, this short Twist Drill from the Profi Line is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and hard plastics. The bright finished surface and fully ground shank support excellent clamping in chucks and reduce runout. For best results in tougher materials, use appropriate coolant and avoid excessive overhang to prevent breakage and ensure repeatable hole quality.
