Twist Drill – Short HSS‑G, Ø 8.2 mm, 135° (Type N), Bright Finished

The Twist Drill is a short Type N HSS‑G drill designed for precision metalworking with Drilling Machines such as hand and stationary units, ideal where stability and clean holes are required.

• Short design for higher stability and precision
• HSS‑G fully ground for sharp, accurate holes
• 135° tip for hard materials like stainless steel
• Suitable for Drilling Machines and stationary use
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills

High performance for demanding metal drilling

Short HSS‑G geometry delivers a direct performance advantage: the short design reduces overhang and therefore deflection, improving hole accuracy under load. The fully ground cutting geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS cutters, which is especially beneficial when working with alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron or Hard Plastics. The 135° tip reduces walking on hard surfaces and shortens plunge time, so production cycles become more efficient while maintaining repeatable results.

Precision manufacturing and what “fully ground” means for you

A fully ground or HSS‑G tool is produced by CNC grinding rather than roll forming. This process yields very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, leading to clean, precise bores and excellent roundness. Such advantages suit precision drillwork but also call for appropriate handling: ground drills can be more brittle than rolled types, so cooling and controlled feed are advised to prevent breakage and extend tool life. Compliance with DIN 338 ensures the drill matches the expected dimensions and tolerances for short twist drills with cylidrical shanks.

Who benefits and where to use it

Workshops, metal fabricators and maintenance engineers profit most from this short drill: it is tailored for operations requiring accurate holes in hard materials and where machine stability is limited. With a spiral length of 75 mm and an overall length of 117 mm combined with a Ø 8.2 mm core, the tool is particularly suited to drilling in confined setups or on compact Drilling Machines, where reduced overhang improves process reliability. The Type N normal spiral is the classic choice for metal applications, giving robust chip evacuation and general-purpose versatility.

Practical handling tips for longer tool life

To get the best from this Profi Line HSS‑G twist drill, use moderate cutting speeds for stainless and hard steels and ensure adequate coolant or lubrication during operation. Short drills tolerate higher feeds thanks to reduced bending moments, but avoid heavy side loads. If re‑sharpening is required, maintain the original 135° tip geometry to preserve centring behaviour and reduce thrust. Regular inspection for wear at the margin and lip relief keeps hole quality consistent and reduces scrap.

FAQ

For what is the Twist Drill used?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT (Type N) is mainly applied for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its geometry and grinding make it suitable for demanding metalwork where clean, precise holes are required and where the tool must withstand higher loads.

Which 3 drill types exist?
Common basic categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Masonry/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) belongs to the metal drill family and is optimized for metal applications.

Why are twist drills pointed?
The point grind on a MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, which lowers friction so that less thrust is needed; additionally, a correctly ground tip improves centring and reduces walking on the workpiece.

Can the Twist Drill be used for wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are usually inferior to dedicated wood drills; metal drills are easier to re‑sharpen and have lower self‑feeding tendency, yet they may not give as clean a hole as a wood‑specific bit.
