Twist Drill — Type N extra short, 4.6 mm, 135°, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, DIN 1897 (MetavCUT)

The Twist Drill is an extra short HSS‑G metal drill (Type N) designed for precise drilling in hard and alloyed steels with handheld Drilling Machines.

• Extra-short design for improved stability
• HSS‑G ground for faster, lower-force drilling
• 135° point angle for harder materials
• Cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks
• Conforms to DIN 1897 for industrial robustness

Short form, big gains for stability and tight spaces

Thanks to its Extra Short construction, this Twist Drill reduces bending and vibration during operation, which leads to fewer breakages and cleaner holes when working in confined or thin-walled components. The shortened Overall Length and reduced Spiral/Working Length make it particularly suitable for drilling in panels, profiles and assemblies where access is limited. Users benefit from improved tool life and safer handling, especially when exchanging bits frequently in workshop or maintenance environments.

Faster, lower-effort metal drilling with optimised geometry

The combination of HSS‑G material and a ground flute geometry enables up to 40% quicker drilling with about 50% less axial force compared with conventional HSS bits, according to the product data. A 135° Point Angle is chosen specifically for tougher substrates such as stainless and alloy steels; this angle reduces initial skidding and helps the bit cut more efficiently into hard materials. As a Type N (normal spiral) bit, it provides reliable chip evacuation for metalworking tasks while maintaining versatility across a range of ferrous and non‑ferrous metals.

Simple fitting and dependable compatibility on common drills

Equipped with a Cylindrical Shank, the Twist Drill is compatible with standard three‑jaw chucks found on most Hand Drilling Machines, making it easy to clamp and use without special adaptors. The design trade‑off is well known: universal fitting versus potential slipping under very high torque; correct chuck tightening and appropriate drilling speeds avoid this. Conformance to DIN 1897 ensures consistent dimensions and performance, supporting predictable results in professional workflows.

Who gets the most from this bit and why it stands out

Workshops, fabricators and field technicians benefit most from the MetavCUT extra short Twist Drill when precise, repeatable metal holes are required in restricted spaces. The bit’s robust construction addresses high demands in materials like cast iron, tempered steel and hard plastics used in industrial applications. Its Standard Line model series balances durability and economy, offering a reliable option for repair, maintenance and production tasks where controlled drilling behaviour matters.

FAQ

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N be used in a handheld drill?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is intended for use with Hand Drilling Machines; its Cylindrical Shank fits standard three‑jaw chucks and allows quick mounting for on-site and workshop tasks while ensuring stable operation when the chuck is properly tightened.

Is the Twist Drill suitable for stainless steel and other hard metals?
The Twist Drill from MetavCUT, made of HSS‑G with a 135° Point Angle, is particularly suited to harder materials such as stainless and alloyed steels; the geometry and material reduce skidding and support efficient cutting in demanding metalworking applications.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and large drill diameters. This form is easy to resharpen and resists higher loads. The bit’s design suits drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics.

Which 3 drill types are there?
There are three common drill types: Metal drills, Wood drills, and Stone/Concrete drills.
