Twist Drill — Type N, 3.8 mm, 135° tip, Extra Short, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, DIN 1897

The Twist Drill (Type N) is an extra short, bright finished HSS‑G metal drill designed for precise work in tight spaces and for use with hand and drilling machines.

• Extra Short design for improved stability
• 135° tip angle for harder materials
• HSS‑G material for high wear resistance
• Cylindrical shank for standard three‑jaw chucks
• Conforms to DIN 1897 for robust performance

Faster, more controlled metal drilling with HSS‑G performance

The Twist Drill from MetavCUT combines HSS‑G construction with a ground flute geometry to enable up to 40% faster drilling while requiring significantly less feed force. This results in less operator fatigue and more consistent holes when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. For users looking to boost shop productivity, the reduced cutting forces translate directly into smoother operation and fewer rework cycles.

Extra short length increases stability and reduces breakage risk

Designed to the DIN 1897 extra short specification, this drill’s reduced overall length improves torsional rigidity and lowers the chance of breakage during demanding operations. In confined setups or where minimal overhang is essential—such as thin sheet metal, profiles and tight fixture arrangements—the Extra Short execution gives a decisive handling advantage and steadier guidance through the workpiece.

Compatible shank and practical use in hand drills

Equipped with a cylindrical shaft, the bit fits common three‑jaw chucks on hand drills and drilling machines, ensuring universal clamping and straightforward replacement. When used in hand drilling, the Type N normal spiral geometry supports reliable chip evacuation in metalworking tasks; apply moderate, steady feed to benefit from the improved centring and reduced tendency to wander.

Who benefits and where this drill excels

Workshop technicians, maintenance teams and metal fabricators seeking a reliable standard‑spiral metal drill will appreciate the Standard Line quality of this tool. Its 135° tip angle shortens the initial penetration time for harder materials and assists in maintaining concentricity. For less experienced users, the robust design makes it easier to achieve clean results while still allowing sharpening and resharpening when needed.
