Twist Drill — Metal Drill, 3.2 mm, 135°, Type N, Bright Finished, Extra‑Short, HSS‑G, DIN 1897 (by MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill is an extra‑short HSS‑G metal drilling tool designed for precise, stable drilling with hand and drilling machines in tight or thin‑walled workpieces.

• Extra-short HSS-G for improved stability
• 3.2 mm Diameter for precise metal drilling
• 135° Tip Angle for harder materials
• Cylindrical Shank fits standard chucks
• DIN 1897 Standard, Type N metal twist drill

Precision and stability for demanding metalwork

This extra‑short HSS‑G drill offers concentrated rigidity that reduces vibration and lowers the risk of breakage during manual or low‑power drilling. The shortened overall length improves torsional resistance, making it possible to apply higher feed without chatter. For work in legated and unlegated Steels, Cast Steel and Non‑Ferrous Metals, the combination of ground flutes and a carefully shaped tip shortens drilling time and reduces required feed force, yielding cleaner holes and longer tool life.

Compact design for tight spaces and thin materials

With an overall length of 46 mm and a flute length of 16 mm, the short geometry is ideal where access is limited or where only thin plates and profiles are being drilled. The Cylindrical Shank ensures universal compatibility with standard three‑jaw chucks, while the bright finish improves chip evacuation. This configuration suits hand Drilling Machines and angle heads where a standard‑length tool would be impractical, allowing secure clamping and reliable centring in confined assemblies.

Tip geometry and spiral type optimised for harder materials

The 135° tip angle is engineered to reduce walking and to penetrate harder materials such as stainless steel with less initial force. As a Type N (normal spiral) tool, this drill provides a balanced helix suitable for many metal types, offering robust cutting action without the aggressive self‑pull of specialised wood drills. The tip geometry also facilitates re‑sharpening: by reducing the cross‑cut length, the regrind preserves centring capability and lowers friction during penetration.

Who benefits and how this tool improves workflow

Maintenance technicians, metal fabricators and installers who frequently drill in sheet metal, profiles or machine parts benefit from the tool’s increased stability and lower feed requirements. Conformity to DIN 1897 and the Standard Line series ensures consistent dimensions and interchangeability, supporting predictable setup times and fewer tool changes. The drill’s robust build and compatibility with common chucks make it a practical choice for everyday metalworking tasks where reliability and repeatability matter.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill by MetavCUT used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily used for machining high‑strength and ordinary metals and for larger drill diameters; its extra‑short design improves stability, makes regrinding easier and stands up to higher loads during work in Steel, Cast Iron and other hard materials.

Which three drill types are there?
There are three main drill categories: Metal drill, Wood drill and Stone/Concrete drill. The MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for drilling in metal rather than in soft timber or masonry.
