Twist Drill — Type N · 3.7 mm · 135° Tip · Extra Short · Bright Finished · HSS‑G · DIN 1897

The Twist Drill is an extra‑short Type N drill for Drilling Machines, designed for stable, precise metalworking in confined spaces.

• Extra‑short design for superior stability
• 135° tip for harder materials and faster entry
• HSS‑G material for high wear resistance
• Cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility
• DIN 1897 standard ensures industrial reliability

Faster, more stable drilling in limited spaces

The Extra‑Short design reduces flex and the risk of breakage, producing more stable cutting when working in tight or thin components. Because the overall length and flute length are shortened, the cutting forces focus more directly at the tip; this means improved concentricity and less vibration during use. For metalworking tasks where access is limited, the compact geometry offers a practical advantage while maintaining tool life and reliability.

Optimised geometry for harder materials

Equipped with a 135° tip, this Type N drill is optimised for drilling harder metals such as stainless steel. A larger tip angle reduces the initial bite and shortens lead‑in time, lowering the required thrust and improving centring. For customers unfamiliar with tip geometry: the tip angle influences how aggressively the drill cuts and how well it self‑centres; 135° is commonly chosen for tougher, less ductile materials.

High‑speed steel G grade for durable performance

Manufactured from HSS‑G, the Twist Drill combines toughness with thermal resistance suitable for continuous metal drilling. Compared with standard HSS, the ground geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling with around 50% less feed force in many cases. This characteristic is particularly beneficial when working on alloys, cast steels, and non‑ferrous metals where consistent cutting performance and regrindability matter.

Practical compatibility and application scope

The cylindrical shank makes the tool universally compatible with standard three‑jaw chucks on Hand and Angle Drilling Machines. While the round shank is ideal for general clamping, operators should note that very high torque applications may require alternative shank types to avoid slippage. Intended primarily as a metalworking tool, the drill excels in thin materials such as sheets, profiles and plate where a short, stiff geometry is advantageous.

Target users and workshop recommendation

Designed for professionals and advanced hobbyists tackling precision metal fabrication, the drill suits those needing a compact, resilient cutting tool for confined assemblies and maintenance tasks. The Standard Line model offers dependable repeatability for production or repair work, and its classic Type N flute form provides familiar handling and easy regrinding for workshops that maintain their own tooling.

FAQ

What is the Twist Drill used for and which materials suit it best?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters in metalworking. Its extra‑short form is especially useful for drilling thin sheets and profiles, and the HSS‑G grade and ground geometry make it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals.

Which three drill types exist?
The main categories of drill bits are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills, each optimised for the respective material properties and cutting requirements.
