Twist Drill — Short HSS‑G Metal Drill (10.5 mm, 135°, Type N, Bright Finished)

The Twist Drill short HSS‑G bit for Drilling Machines offers high stability and precise metal drilling in demanding workshop applications.

• Short execution for increased stability
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• 135° tip angle for hard metals and stainless steel
• Faster drilling with up to 40% higher feed rate
• Conforms to DIN 338 for short HSS drills

High stability for precise metalwork

The Profi Line short Twist Drill delivers noticeably better stability thanks to its reduced overhang. A shorter overall length reduces bending and vibration, which improves hole accuracy and surface finish when working with metals. This construction is particularly beneficial for setup on stationary or bench Drilling Machines where rigidity and repeatable results are required. The 10.5 mm diameter paired with a fully ground shank supports consistent concentricity.

Faster penetration with lower effort

Engineered for efficiency, this short HSS‑G Twist Drill cuts with less force: the optimized geometry allows up to 40% faster drilling and requires approximately 50% less feed pressure compared with conventional HSS blanks. The result is reduced operator fatigue and shorter cycle times for repetitive metalworking tasks. This performance advantage is especially relevant when machining alloyed and unalloyed steels or cast materials.

Robust design and material suited for hard materials

Manufactured in HSS‑G (ground high speed steel) and trimmed to a 135° tip angle, the bit is intended for tougher materials where a steeper point improves centring and reduces breakout. The ground flute geometry creates sharp cutting edges and high roundness accuracy, leading to cleaner bores in steel and non‑ferrous metals. Note that ground drills offer excellent precision but should be used with appropriate coolant and steady clamping to avoid breakage.

Optimised for workshop and industrial use

As a Type N normal‑spiral Twist Drill according to DIN 338, this short variant is the classic choice for metal drilling tasks. Its bright finished surface and short spiral length make it suitable for machining operations on lathes, pillar drills and other stationary Drilling Machines. Professionals and maintenance technicians appreciate the balance of durability and re‑sharpenability that this drill provides in demanding production or repair environments.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for and which materials suit this bit?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill short Type N is primarily used for metalworking; it is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. Its short design improves stability and centring when drilling in tougher materials.

Which three drill types exist and where does the Twist Drill fit?
Common categories are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill group and represents the standard normal‑spiral bit for machining metals.

What is the purpose of sharpening (pointing) a Twist Drill?
Pointing reduces the cross‑edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, which significantly lowers friction and allows drilling with less feed force while improving centring of the tip in the workpiece.

Can a metal (Twist) drill be used for wood?
A metal Twist Drill from MetavCUT can be used in wood but will offer less guidance and a rougher hole compared with specialized wood bits; it is easier to re‑sharpen and has a lower self‑feed tendency.
