Twist Drill — Type N extra short, 2.1 mm, 118°, HSS‑G, Bright Finished, DIN 1897

An extra‑short Twist Drill (Type N) designed for Drilling Machines and Hand Drills, offering a 2.1 mm Diameter and a 118° Tip Angle for precise, low‑force metalworking.

• Extra‑short HSS‑G Twist Drill for tight spaces
• 2.1 mm Diameter for precise pilot holes
• 118° Tip for reliable centering in soft materials
• Cylindrical Shank fits standard three‑jaw chucks
• DIN 1897 standard; bright finished for durability

Faster Drilling with Less Force and Higher Stability

The MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill uses a ground HSS‑G geometry that reduces friction and delivers up to 40% faster drilling compared with conventional HSS tools. This results in lower operator effort and reduced heat build‑up, especially when working with steel and cast materials. The extra short design increases torsional stability and lowers the risk of Breakage, making it particularly suitable for tight setups or thin‑walled components where control is critical. Customers benefit from shorter cycle times and a more consistent Hole Quality.

Compact Design That Excels in Confined Workspaces

Where access is limited, the extra short length of this Twist Drill provides a clear advantage. Shorter Overall Length and reduced flute length mean improved Rigidity and less Whipping, so holes remain true even when working in awkward positions or with Hand Drills. The Cylindrical Shank allows universal chuck clamping and quick tool changes, which supports efficient workshop workflows and reduces set‑up time for repetitive tasks.

Broad Material Compatibility and Clear Application Guidance

This Type N Twist Drill is optimized for metalworking: it is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics. For users less familiar with drill types: Type N denotes a Normal Spiral suited for Metal; it is not intended as the first choice for very soft materials like wood where specialist bits offer cleaner guidance. When precise centering is required on curved surfaces, the 118° Tip Angle helps start the Hole with low point‑load and reduced surface wandering.

Practical Handling, Sharpening and Durability

The HSS‑G Material provides a balance of Hardness and Toughness; it is easy to Regrind, which extends Tool Life and allows maintenance of a sharp Cutting Edge in‑house. The bright finished surface supports corrosion resistance and visual inspection of wear. Because the Shank is smooth and cylindrical, users should ensure correct Chuck Torque and regular inspection to prevent slippage under high loads. For frequent heavy‑duty applications, consider matching drive methods and clamping systems to the task to maximise performance.

Who Benefits from This Tool

Professionals and hobbyists who require compact, reliable drilling performance in metalworking environments will appreciate the combination of extra rigidity and ease of use. The MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill is particularly suited for workshops doing precision pilot holes, maintenance tasks, and any operation where space constraints or thin materials demand a short, robust cutter.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill like the MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and for larger hole diameters where tool robustness is essential. This design is straightforward to Regrind and endures greater loads, making it suitable for demanding Metalworking operations.

Which 3 drill types are there?
In practice three common drill categories exist: Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Stone/Concrete Drill. The MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill belongs to the Metal Drill group and is engineered for performance in metallic materials.

Can the MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill be used with hand drills?
Yes, the MetavCUT Type N Twist Drill is suitable for Hand Drills and Drilling Machines when clamped securely in a compatible Chuck. Its Extra‑short design improves stability under manual operation and reduces the risk of Breakage in confined setups.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing the tip reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, which lowers friction and therefore requires less Feed Force. A well‑sharpened tip also improves Centering and helps the Drill begin the hole cleanly in the workpiece.
