Twist Drill (Type N) — Short HSS‑G, 7.7 mm, 135° tip, Bright finished, Fully ground shank, DIN 338 by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N short HSS‑G is a precision metal‑drilling bit designed for drilling machines and handheld drills, optimised for hard materials and stable, accurate holemaking.

• Short design for improved stability and precision
• Optimised 135° tip for hard metals and stainless steel
• HSS‑G fully ground for sharp edges and high runout accuracy
• Suitable for drilling machines and hand drills
• Complies with DIN 338 for short twist drills

Precision and faster cuts for hard materials

The bit is made from HSS‑G (high‑speed steel, ground), a material choice that provides sharp cutting edges and consistent performance when machining steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. A fully ground geometry means the flutes and cutting lips are produced by CNC grinding, delivering very good concentricity and clean holes. The manufacturer notes up to 40% faster drilling with 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS types, which translates into reduced operator effort and higher throughput for repetitive metalworking tasks.

Stability by design: short length for precise results

The short execution reduces the effective overhang and therefore bending and vibration during drilling. With a flute length of 75 mm and an overall length of 117 mm, this compact geometry increases rigidity and improves hole quality in demanding applications. The nominal 7.7 mm diameter and the Type N normal spiral make this bit particularly suitable where runout and positional accuracy matter, for instance in jigged components or light machining operations on machines and portable drills.

Tip geometry tailored to tough jobs

A 135° tip angle reduces the tendency to “grab” and is better adapted to harder materials such as stainless steel; a larger tip angle shortens the time to break through the material surface and improves centring for deep or difficult holes. The Type N spiral is the classic metal‑drill geometry, providing reliable chip evacuation and consistent cutting behaviour. For best results on harder alloys use steady feed, appropriate lubricant or coolant, and secure clamping to exploit the geometry’s advantages.

Professional use, clear handling advice

Designed for workshops, maintenance crews and production environments, the Profi Line short twist drill supports precise metalworking operations where repeatability matters. The bright finished surface aids visual inspection and handling, while the fully ground shank ensures accurate seating in chucks. Because ground HSS can be more brittle than rolled variants, using coolant and stable fixturing is recommended to avoid premature tool breakage and to maintain hole quality over time.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills such as the Twist Drill (Type N) by MetavCUT are primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; their geometry is relatively easy to regrind and they withstand higher loads, making them suitable for drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and hard plastics.

Which three drill types exist?
In practical terms the main drill categories are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills, and the Twist Drill (Type N) by MetavCUT belongs to the metal‑drill class optimised for metalworking applications.
