Twist Drill short HSS-G Type N — Ø 8.8 mm, 135° tip, Bright Finished, DIN 338

The Twist Drill short HSS-G Type N is a precision metal‑drilling tool designed for use in Drilling Machines, offering high stability and fast cutting performance for hard materials.

• Short design for improved stability
• Ø 8.8 mm for precise metal holes
• 135° tip for hard materials like stainless steel
• HSS‑G fully ground for sharp cutting edges
• Conforms to DIN 338 for consistent accuracy

Faster, cleaner metal drilling with measurable efficiency

The short Twist Drill from MetavCUT combines a compact geometry with a HSS‑G ground flute to deliver up to 40% faster drilling and 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS variants. This efficiency reduces operator effort and machine load, making the tool particularly advantageous for repetitive metalworking tasks. The reduced overhang lowers vibration and increases Precision, resulting in cleaner hole walls and less burr formation.

Reliable performance in hard and alloyed metals

Designed as a Type N normal‑spiral drill, this short twist drill is optimised for a wide range of metallic materials: legiertem und unlegiertem Stahl, Gussstahl, Gusseisen, Temperguss, Nichteisenmetalle and hard plastics. The 135° tip angle shortens entry time and improves centring in tougher workpieces, so fewer dwell corrections are needed. For users with limited experience, this means more consistent results when working with challenging materials.

Precision geometry and fabrication for professional results

The tool is manufactured according to DIN 338 as a short twist drill with a cylindrical shank. The fully ground flute geometry (HSS‑G) ensures razor‑sharp cutting edges and excellent runout accuracy, which benefits machining centres and manual setups alike. Ground drills deliver very clean holes and high repeatability; however, they require appropriate coolant and controlled feed to avoid chipping under heavy intermittent loads.

Compact design that expands machine compatibility

With a spiral length of 75 mm and overall length of 117 mm, the short execution reduces cantilever and enhances stability in the chuck. This compactness makes the drill well suited for use in Drilling Machines where rigidity and minimal deflection are critical. The bright finished surface aids chip evacuation and inspection, while the cylindrical shank fits standard chucks reliably.

Practical guidance for safe and effective use

When working with harder alloys, prefer moderate speeds and steady feed to leverage the 135° geometry. Use cutting fluid for prolonged tool life and improved surface finish. The short design is ideal for setups where overhang must be minimised; for very deep holes beyond the spiral length, choose an appropriately longer tool.
