Twist Drill — Type N Twist Drill, Ø 1.5 mm, 118° tip, Extra Short, Bright finished, HSS‑G, DIN 1897 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill Type N is an extra‑short, ground HSS‑G drill designed for precise metal drilling in hand Drilling Machines and confined spaces.

• Extra‑short design for high stability
• HSS‑G ground for up to 40% faster drilling
• 118° tip for improved centering on curved surfaces
• Cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility
• Conforms to DIN 1897 for robust workshop use

Greater Stability where Space is Limited

The Twist Drill from MetavCUT in Extra Short execution is engineered to minimise bending and breakage when working in tight or thin‑walled components. Its reduced Overall Length and shorter Spiral/Working Length increase Stability and torsional rigidity compared with standard drills, which helps to avoid chatter and tool failure during handheld operations. This design makes the bit particularly suitable for Sheet Metal, Profiles and assemblies where access and clearance are restricted, while the DIN 1897 specification underlines consistent dimensions and interchangeability in workshop environments.

Faster Cutting with Lower Feed Effort

A ground HSS‑G cutting geometry reduces friction and chip adhesion, enabling up to 40% faster advance rates while requiring approximately 50% less Feed Force than conventional HSS drills. Ground fluting improves the cutting edge sharpness and chip evacuation, so the drill penetrates more efficiently and produces cleaner holes. For users, this translates into shorter cycle times and less operator fatigue when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and hard plastics.

Tip Geometry Optimised for Metalwork

The Type N spiral is the classic metal‑drill geometry, optimised for a wide range of ferrous materials. The 118° tip balances cutting aggressiveness and centring ability: a moderate point angle eases entry on slightly curved surfaces and helps initial alignment, while still providing good lifetime on steels and non‑ferrous metals. For less experienced users: the tip angle determines how the bit bites into the material — a larger angle yields a blunter point with longer cutting edges, whereas a smaller angle improves penetration and centring.

Practical Fit and Typical Applications

With a Cylindrical (round) shank the bit fits standard three‑jaw chucks on Hand and Angle Drilling Machines, offering universal usability across common workshop equipment. The construction from HSS‑G makes this short drill ideal for maintenance, mechanical workshops and assembly tasks where repeatable, clean holes in steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals are needed. Note that the round shank can be prone to slipping under very high torque loads; for heavy‑duty drivers a hex or reduced shank may be preferable.

FAQ

What materials is the Twist Drill by MetavCUT best suited for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily intended for metalworking: alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Castings, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. Its HSS‑G composition and normal spiral geometry make it efficient for a broad selection of metallic materials in workshop and maintenance settings.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in hand and angle drills?
Yes, the extra‑short HSS‑G design of the MetavCUT Twist Drill is specifically suitable for Hand and Angle Drilling Machines; the reduced overall length improves control in handheld use and in confined spaces while the Cylindrical shank fits standard three‑jaw chucks.

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills are mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters. Their form is relatively easy to re‑grind and resists significant loads, which makes them suitable for demanding metal drilling tasks.

Which 3 drill types exist?
The three common drill families are: Metal drills, Wood drills, and Stone/Concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drill points sharpened?
Point sharpening reduces the size of the cross‑cut at the tip, which significantly lowers friction and therefore the required feed forces. At the same time sharpened points improve centring accuracy in the workpiece.

Can a metal drill be used for wood?
A metal (Type N) drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish quality are usually inferior compared with purpose‑made wood drills. Metal drills are easier to re‑grind and typically exhibit lower self‑feed characteristics.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
Twist Drills are the standard tool for through holes in the solid. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the twist drill is the most frequently used tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general belief that HSSE steels are categorically superior to standard HSS is incorrect. Evaluate the working conditions carefully to decide whether the higher investment in HSSE is justified for the intended application.
