Twist Drill Profi Line 10 mm — HSS‑G, Type N, short, bright finished, 135°

The Twist Drill Profi Line is a short Type N metal drill designed for precise, stable drilling in hard materials, featuring a 135° point angle and HSS‑G ground geometry for demanding workshop applications.

• Short design for increased stability
• 10 mm Diameter for standard metalwork
• HSS‑G Ground for sharp, clean holes
• 135° Point Angle for hard materials

Faster drilling with less feed force for tough materials

The HSS‑G ground cutter of this short Twist Drill delivers noticeably higher efficiency: thanks to the optimized geometry, drilling speeds can be up to 40% faster and require about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. This translates into reduced operator effort and shorter cycle times when machining alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron and Hard Plastics. For professionals who value performance, the combination of the ground flute geometry and the Profi Line build reduces tool wear and improves throughput on stationary or portable Drilling Machines.

Short design increases stability and improves accuracy

The reduced overall length and shorter projection of this short Twist Drill significantly lower the risk of deflection and bending under load. As a result, the user benefits from higher Precision and cleaner hole geometry, especially in larger diameters like 10 mm. The Type N normal spiral is tailored for metalworking, providing controlled chip removal while maintaining a robust cutting edge. In practice, the short configuration is ideal for set-ups where rigidity matters, such as toolroom operations, jig drilling and repetitive production runs.

Proven geometry and standard compliance for reliable results

Manufactured to DIN 338, this Twist Drill features a 135° point angle that improves centring and reduces entry chipping when working with harder materials such as stainless steel. "Ground" (HSS‑G) indicates CNC grinding of the flutes and cutting geometry rather than roll-forming, which yields very sharp cutting lips, high concentricity and superior surface finish of the bore. These geometric details result in faster penetration and better runout accuracy, but the ground design is best used with appropriate cooling and steady clamping to avoid brittle fracture.

Practical applications and ideal users

This short Twist Drill is developed for metalworkers, maintenance technicians, toolmakers and production shops that require dependable, repeatable holes in metal, cast components and hard plastics. The 10 mm diameter and robust Type N spiral make it particularly suitable for drilling in Alloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Gusseisen and non‑ferrous metals. If there is uncertainty about suitability for a specific application or set‑up, METAV Werkzeuge provides extensive and competent advice to ensure the correct tool selection and cutting parameters for your machine and material.
