Twist Drill — Type N extra short, 4.7 mm, 135° point, HSS‑G, bright finished (DIN 1897)

The Twist Drill Type N from MetavCUT is an extra‑short HSS‑G drill bit for Drilling Machines, designed for precise metalworking in confined spaces.

• Extra‑short HSS‑G design for tight working spaces
• 135° point angle for drilling hard materials
• Cylindrical shank fits standard three‑jaw chucks
• Up to 40% faster drilling, 50% less feed force

Faster, stronger performance for metalworking

The extra‑short geometry of this Twist Drill increases stability and reduces the risk of breakage when working in restricted areas. The ground HSS‑G cutting edges allow for up to 40% faster penetration and require 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS bits, which translates into less operator fatigue and higher throughput in repetitive metal drilling tasks. This makes the bit particularly effective for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and hard plastics.

Reliable centring and compatibility with common chucks

With a 135° point angle, the bit is optimised for harder workpiece materials and short lead‑in times. The cylindrical shank provides universal compatibility with standard three‑jaw chucks on a handheld Drilling Machine, ensuring quick tool changes and secure clamping in everyday workshop environments. For applications where torque is especially high, consider the shank type when selecting the correct chuck to avoid slippage.

Practical use cases and who benefits most

This Twist Drill is ideal for professionals and workshops that perform frequent small‑diameter metal drilling in thin sheet, profiles and component assemblies. Its compact length is particularly useful for tight fixture setups, angle drilling and operations near edges where a standard length would be impractical. Toolrooms, maintenance teams and metal fabricators will value the improved control and reduced breakage rate.

What sets this drill apart: standards and material

Manufactured to DIN 1897 specifications and produced in HSS‑G material, the bit balances wear resistance and re‑sharpenability. The bright finished surface facilitates chip evacuation while the Type N spiral is the established choice for general metal drilling. For users less familiar with technical terms: HSS‑G denotes a high‑speed steel with improved cutting properties for demanding metallic materials.

FAQ

What applications is the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N best suited for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily intended for metal drilling, including alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron and hard plastics; its extra‑short form makes it especially useful when working in confined spaces or on thin materials.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a handheld drill?
Yes, the Twist Drill from MetavCUT with a cylindrical shank is made to be clamped in standard three‑jaw chucks of a handheld Drilling Machine; ensure appropriate chuck grip when high torque is applied to prevent slippage.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters. Its shape allows for straightforward re‑grinding and it withstands substantial loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking operations.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common drill categories: metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drills re‑pointed?
Re‑pointing reduces the minor cutting edge at the tip, lowering friction and required feed force while improving centring of the bit in the workpiece.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used for wood?
A metal Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are generally inferior compared with dedicated wood drills; metal bits are easier to re‑sharpen and show less self‑feed.
