Twist Drill — 4.4 mm, 135°, Type N, extra short, Bright finished, HSS‑G, DIN 1897

The Twist Drill Type N is an extra‑short, high‑performance HSS‑G drill bit designed for precise metal drilling with hand Drilling Machines and in confined working spaces.

• Extra-short design for enhanced stability
• 4.4 mm diameter for precise holemaking
• 135° point for hard materials like stainless steel
• Cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks
• HSS-G material for increased wear resistance

Greater control where space is limited

The extra‑short construction reduces overhang and gives noticeably more stability during manual drilling, which lowers the risk of walking or breakage when working in narrow or thin components. This shortened geometry is especially advantageous when drilling into sheet metal, profiles or thin‑walled parts, since the reduced overall length makes the bit easier to guide and prevents unwanted bending under load.

Faster drilling with less force

A ground HSS‑G cutting geometry enables significantly improved cutting performance: users can expect up to 40% faster drilling while requiring roughly 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS bits. This means reduced operator fatigue and more efficient machining cycles when producing holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials, sintered iron and hard plastics.

Engineered for demanding metalwork

The 135° point angle is optimised for harder materials and short‑run accuracy: it reduces initial axial deflection and shortens the time to penetrate hard surfaces such as stainless steel. As a Type N normal‑spiral twist drill, the bit is primarily intended for metalworking applications and offers a well‑balanced flute geometry for reliable chip evacuation under typical workshop conditions.

Practical fit and recommended use

With a cylindrical shank, the bit fits universally in standard three‑jaw chucks, making it suitable for hand and angle Drilling Machines where convenience and universality matter. Professionals and advanced DIY users who require robust, short‑length drilling tools for maintenance, assembly or fabrication will find the bit particularly useful.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for and which workplaces suit the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily used for drilling metal; it is best applied in workshops and on assembly tasks where precise, stable holes are required. The extra‑short design makes this Twist Drill well suited to thin materials and confined spaces while the HSS‑G grade supports drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steels as well as cast materials.

Which three drill types are common and how does the Twist Drill compare?
Common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Twist Drill (a metal drill) is optimised for metal applications and differs from wood or masonry drills in flute geometry, point angle and material, which together ensure cleaner holes and better durability when working with metals.
