Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) — Type N short HSS-G, Ø 9.7 mm, 135°

A Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) Type N short in HSS-G designed for precision metal drilling with a Drilling Machine

• Short design for higher stability and precision
• Fully ground geometry for clean, accurate holes
• 135° tip angle optimised for hard metals
• Up to 40% faster drilling with reduced feed force
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylinder-shank drills

Precision and material advantages for demanding metalwork

This short HSS-G twist drill is engineered for high-precision machining of metals where clean entry and true running are essential. Thanks to the fully ground geometry, the cutting edges are exceptionally sharp, producing clean, burr-reduced holes with consistent diameters. For demanding applications in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel and non-ferrous metals, the tool delivers reliable results while preserving workpiece integrity. The compact construction reduces vibration and improves concentricity on stationary and portable machines.

Short length for greater stability and faster cycles

Because the drill has a reduced overall length, the exposed shank is shorter and therefore less prone to bending; this yields high stability during feed and lowers the risk of chatter. The shortened overhang contributes directly to faster, more controlled drilling—manufacturers report up to 40% faster drilling and around 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS variants. That makes the short design particularly suitable when working with harder materials or in setups that require precise hole quality and repeatability.

Tailored for metalworking professionals and specific tasks

Intended primarily for metalworking, this Type N drill is excellent for tasks such as through-holes and accurate pilot holes in thicker plates and components. Users in toolrooms, maintenance shops or production lines will benefit from the drill’s balance of toughness and sharpness; it is especially appropriate for Drilling Machines and similar rotating equipment. The 135° tip angle facilitates smoother entry into hard materials like stainless steel, reducing walking at the start and enabling more consistent centring.

Practical guidance, norm compliance and machining tips

The product conforms to DIN 338, which standardises short cylinder-shank twist drills and clarifies manufacturing methods such as grinding versus roll-formed flutes. In practical terms, "fully ground" means the flutes and point are shaped by CNC grinding to yield higher roundness and sharper land edges; this improves hole finish but can make the tool somewhat more brittle, so use coolant and moderate speeds for best life. When referring to tip geometry, a 135° angle is chosen to reduce penetration resistance in tougher alloys and to extend tool life when cutting harder materials.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) from MetavCUT used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily applied to machining high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; its short design and ground geometry make it suitable for precise work in steel, cast materials and hard plastics. The shape is easy to regrind and remains stable under heavier loads.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common drill categories: metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill falls into the metal-drill category and is optimised for that application.
