Twist Drill (Type N) – Short HSS‑G, 9.5 mm, 135°, Profi Line, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank, DIN 338

The Twist Drill Type N short HSS‑G is a precision metalworking drill for drilling machines, engineered for stable, fast and accurate holes in hard materials.

• Short HSS‑G design for increased stability
• 9.5 mm diameter for precise metal holes
• 135° point angle for hard materials
• Fully ground shank for low runout
• Complies with DIN 338; Profi Line by MetavCUT

Faster, more stable drilling in metalwork

The Twist Drill from the MetavCUT Profi Line uses HSS‑G material and a short design to reduce overhang and vibration, delivering higher stability than standard drills. This construction enables up to 40% faster penetration and requires around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS tools, so holes in alloyed or unalloyed Steel and Cast materials are produced more efficiently. The direct result is shorter cycle times in workshop or production environments without sacrificing accuracy.

Designed for hard materials and clean hole entry

A 135° point angle and the Type N normal spiral geometry provide optimal entry behaviour in tougher materials such as Stainless Steel and Tempered Castings. The larger point angle shortens initial bite and reduces the tendency to skate on the surface, which improves centring and reduces chatter when starting a hole. For users unfamiliar with drill geometry: a greater point angle gives a flatter tip that spreads cutting forces and is better suited to high‑strength metals.

Ideal users and typical applications

Professional workshops and precision metalworkers benefit most from this short twist drill, especially when using a drilling machine or hand drill set up for metal. Typical applications include drilling in Alloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Metals, Non‑Ferrous Metals and hard Plastics. The robust design is targeted at machinists who prioritise repeatable accuracy and minimal tool deflection during medium‑depth drilling operations.

Handling, care and drilling recommendations

Because the flute geometry is fully ground, the tool offers excellent cutting edges and precise runout but can be more brittle than rolled variants; coolant and correct feed rates are therefore recommended for extended tool life. For drilling tasks up to standard depths, this type of short twist drill is commonly used for diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm. Use moderate speeds and steady feeds, ensure secure clamping, and apply cutting fluid for hard or heat‑sensitive alloys to maintain edge life and hole quality.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials suit it best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily designed for metalworking and is applied to drilling high‑strength and hard materials; it performs particularly well in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Castings and hard Plastics thanks to its HSS‑G construction and short geometry.

Which three drill types are commonly distinguished?
In tool selection the three main categories are Metal drills, Wood drills and Stone/Concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the Metal drills group and is optimised for those metallic materials.

For what is a Twist Drill mainly used?
A Twist Drill such as the MetavCUT Profi Line is mainly applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its ground geometry is relatively easy to resharpen and stands up to heavier loads in demanding metalworking tasks.

Why are Twist Drills pointed and what is the benefit of a 135° point?
The point reduces the cross‑cut at the tip so cutting forces and friction fall, allowing lower feed forces and better centring; a 135° tip in particular shortens the initial entry time and suits harder materials by distributing cutting loads more favourably.
