Twist Drill Type N – MetavCUT short HSS‑G, 7.6 mm, 135°, Bright Finished, DIN 338

The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS‑G metal drill designed for precision work on drilling machines with a 7.6 mm diameter and a 135° point angle.

• Short design for high stability and reduced bending
• 135° point angle ideal for hard materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for superior runout accuracy
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short HSS twist drills
• Bright finished for clear visual inspection of cutting edges

Outstanding Precision and Reduced Deflection

The short construction of this MetavCUT drill delivers higher stability and significantly less tendency to bend compared with longer variants. Because the exposed length beyond the chuck is reduced, the tool remains more rigid under load, which produces more accurate holes and reduces the need for rework. This compact geometry is especially advantageous when drilling into hard or tough materials where tool deflection would otherwise compromise hole quality.

Material and Standard: Built for Metalworking Reliability

Manufactured from HSS‑G (ground high speed steel) and produced to DIN 338, this twist drill combines sharp cutting geometry with strict dimensional tolerances. The designation HSS‑G indicates CNC grinding of the flutes, resulting in very sharp cutting edges and excellent concentricity. The Type N normal spiral profile is the classic metalworking geometry, making this drill suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non‑ferrous metals while ensuring predictable performance in workshop and industrial environments.

Optimised Cutting Geometry for Hard Materials

With a 135° point angle, the drill penetrates harder materials more effectively and reduces the tendency to wander at the start of the cut. This angle shortens the initial bite into the material, offering better centring and lower feed effort for materials such as alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steels and hard plastics. The combination of point geometry and a ground flute profile also helps produce cleaner chips and improved surface finish in the drilled hole.

Performance, Handling and Machine Compatibility

The tool features a spiral length of 75 mm and an overall length of 117 mm paired with a fully ground shank, which improves chucking accuracy and reduces runout. Compared with conventional HSS designs, this ground HSS version can enable up to 40% faster drilling with around 50% less feed force, provided appropriate speeds and cutting fluids are used. It is intended primarily for use on drilling machines rather than solely for handheld casual use, and benefits from steady clamping and, where necessary, coolant for longer tool life.
