MetavCUT Twist Drill – Type N, Ø 7.9 mm, 135° Tip, HSS‑G, Short, Bright Finished, DIN 338

The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a short Type N twist drill for metalworking, offering a 7.9 mm Diameter and a 135° Tip Angle for precise drilling in hard materials on drilling machines.

• Short design for improved stability and precision
• Fully ground HSS‑G for sharpness and fast penetration
• 135° tip for safe centring in hard steels
• Conforms to DIN 338 for reliable production use

Exceptional Material and Cutting Performance for Metalworking

Constructed from HSS‑G and produced as a fully ground tool, this twist drill delivers consistently sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy. The grinding process produces very fine cutting geometry, which reduces burr formation and yields clean, dimensionally accurate holes. Because of the material and finish, feed forces are lower and drilling cycles can be shorter, which directly improves productivity in workshop and production environments. The short version reduces vibration and supports repeatable results when machining alloys, cast materials, or hard plastics.

Stable Short Design for Precise, Hard‑Material Drilling

A shorter overall length reduces the cantilever effect, increasing stability and lowering the risk of deflection during machining. With a 135° Tip Angle, the drill enters hard materials more gradually and maintains better centring, making it particularly suitable for stainless steel and other tough alloys. This combination of geometry and shaft finish makes the tool ideal for operations where dimensional accuracy and hole quality are critical, such as jig and fixture production or precision component manufacture.

Clear Application Profile and Target Users

Engineered primarily as a Drill for Metal, this Type N short twist drill suits machinists, toolrooms, and industrial workshops working on lathes, milling centres, or stationary drilling machines. Its characteristics support tasks requiring clean holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered materials, non‑ferrous metals and engineering plastics. For engineers seeking a robust production drill that balances lifetime, regrindability and hole quality, this tool provides an effective compromise between performance and serviceability.

Standards, Shank Details and Machine Compatibility

Manufactured to DIN 338, the drill complies with established dimensions and tolerances for short twist drills with cylindrical shanks. The bright finished surface and the fully ground flutes ensure reliable chip evacuation when used with appropriate lubricant or coolant, especially in through‑hole drilling. The drill is designed for use in standard chucks of Drilling Machines and bench units; when used stationary with coolant and correct speeds, it provides the best combination of lifetime and hole quality.

FAQ

What materials is the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) best suited for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily intended for metalworking; its HSS‑G composition and 135° tip make it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard engineering plastics, providing clean holes and good centring.

Is coolant recommended when using the MetavCUT Twist Drill?
For prolonged tool life and consistent hole quality with the MetavCUT Twist Drill, especially in hard or alloyed steels, the use of appropriate coolant or lubricant is recommended to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; it is relatively easy to regrind and withstands higher loads while delivering precise holes in demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types are there?
Common drill types are Metal drills, Wood drills and Masonry/Concrete drills.
