Twist Drill — HSS‑G Extra Short, Ø 5.1 mm, 135° Point Angle, Type N (Bright Finished, Cylindrical Shank, DIN 1897) by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill is an extra short Type N metal drill designed for Hand Drilling Machines, offering high stability and precise performance for drilling into hard metals.

• Extra-short design for greater stability
• HSS‑G construction for improved wear resistance
• 135° Point Angle for hard steels
• Cylindrical shank fits standard chucks
• Conforms to DIN 1897 for reliable dimensions

Precision and Durability for Professional Metalworking

Designed for demanding metal applications, this HSS‑G Twist Drill combines a ground geometry that reduces required feed force with a robust material composition. The Type N spiral is optimised for machining ferrous and allied metals, providing reliable chip evacuation and consistent hole quality. The 135° Point Angle shortens the initial penetration time on harder alloys and helps maintain a centred start, which is particularly important when drilling stainless steel or other high‑strength materials.

Stable, Space-Saving Design for Tight Setups

The extra short overall length delivers improved torsional rigidity and reduced breakage risk when working in confined spaces or on thin sheets. A cylindrical shank ensures universal compatibility with three‑jaw chucks commonly used in Hand Drilling Machines, enabling quick tool changes and secure clamping. Because the shortened form reduces lever‑action forces, operators benefit from steadier guidance and a lower probability of walk‑off during the first cut.

Clear Application Guidance and Suitability

This Twist Drill is primarily intended for metalworking: alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, grey cast iron, sintered iron, malleable cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. As a Type N HSS tool, it is not optimally matched to very soft materials where specialised geometries perform better. The drill follows DIN 1897 dimensions, making it a dependable choice for workshops that require standardised tools.
