Twist Drill – Type N extra short HSS‑G (Ø 2.4 mm, 118°, Bright Finished, DIN 1897) by MetavCUT

A MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) for precise metal drilling with an extra‑short design ideal for hand Drilling Machines.

• Extra-short HSS-G for enhanced stability
• Ø 2.4 mm precision for fine metalwork
• 118° point angle for easy centring
• Cylindrical shank fits standard chucks

Exceptional stability and faster metal machining

The extra‑short ground HSS‑G construction delivers noticeably higher rigidity compared with standard lengths. This reduces vibration and breakage risk when working in tight setups and thin materials. Thanks to the ground geometry, machining can be performed up to 40% faster while requiring significantly less axial pressure, which lowers operator fatigue and improves repeatability on metal components.

Ideal for confined spaces and hand drilling

Designed with a total length of 38 mm and a spiral length of 12 mm, the compact format suits applications where access is limited or where a short overhang is required. The cylindrical shank fits conventional three‑jaw chucks used on hand Drilling Machines, offering universal compatibility and quick tool changes. Conformance to DIN 1897 guarantees dimensional reliability for workshop and maintenance use.

Built for metal — versatile in material range

As a Type N normal‑spiral bit, this tool is optimised for metalworking tasks. It performs well in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron, Tempered Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics. The 118° point angle improves centring on slightly curved surfaces and helps when machining softer metals such as Aluminium, while the Type N spiral remains the preferred choice for metal drilling operations.

Practical advantages for professionals and enthusiasts

The short, robust geometry provides higher torsional resistance and a lower tendency to chatter, making it suitable for production, maintenance and committed hobbyists. The ground cutting edges allow economical regrinding and maintenance, extending service life. Note that the cylindrical shank is universally compatible, though under very high torque conditions a different shank form can offer improved anti‑slip behaviour.
