Twist Drill (Spiralbohrer) – MetavCUT Profi Line, HSS-G short, Ø 12 mm, 135° tip, Type N, Bright Finished, fully ground shank, DIN 338

The Twist Drill short HSS-G Type N is a precision metalworking bit designed for stable, fast drilling on drilling machines and hand drills.

• Short design for increased stability
• HSS-G ground geometry for sharp cuts
• 135° tip for harder materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• Conforms to DIN 338 for metalworking

Faster, cleaner holes thanks to HSS-G geometry and short length

The short HSS-G construction combines a reduced overall length with a CNC-ground flute geometry to deliver higher stability and very precise results. Compared with conventionally produced HSS bits, this ground design enables up to 40% faster drilling while requiring about 50% less thrust force, which reduces operator fatigue and tool deflection. For workshop environments where repetitive, exact holes are required, this format significantly improves cycle times and hole quality.

Suitable for demanding metals and precise machine work

This short Twist Drill is engineered for metalworking applications and performs reliably in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. Its robustness and short cantilevered length make the tool especially suitable for stationary drilling machines and guided hand drills where runout and wobble must be minimised. The result is consistent, concentric holes and a lower scrap rate in batch production.

Built to DIN 338 with Type N normal spiral and 135° tip for hard materials

Manufactured to DIN 338 as a short cylindrical‑shank drill, this Type N normal spiral bit offers the classical metal‑drilling geometry optimised for tougher materials. The 135° point angle reduces the tendency to wander on entry and shortens the initial breakthrough time when working stainless steel and other hard alloys. “Ground” flutes mean extremely sharp cutting edges and excellent concentricity, while users should note that ground HSS can be more brittle than rolled variants and benefits from cooling and steady feed.

Designed for professionals — handling tips and who benefits most

Workshops, toolrooms and professional metalworkers benefit most from the precision and durability of this short HSS‑G Twist Drill. For best results, use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate speeds to extend tool life and avoid sudden shocks that can cause breakage. The fully ground shank ensures excellent clamping and minimal runout in standard chucks.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for and which materials suit the MetavCUT Profi Line Type N?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT Profi Line Type N is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its short, ground geometry makes it easier to resharpen and able to withstand higher loads, so it is particularly suited to demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common categories: metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill family (Type N) and is optimised for metalworking applications.
