Twist Drill — Extra Short, 5.3 mm, 135° tip, Type N, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, DIN 1897 by MetavCUT

The Twist Drill Type N is designed for precise metal drilling with an extra‑short geometry that improves stability and performance in hand and angle drilling applications.

• Extra short design for improved stability
• HSS‑G cutting for faster metal drilling
• 135° tip optimized for hard materials
• Cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility
• Conforms to DIN 1897 for robust reliability

Greater stability in confined workplaces and thin materials

The extra‑short configuration reduces overhang and increases resistance to breakage, making this drill ideal when working in confined spaces or with thin sheets and profiles. The shortened overall length improves torque transmission and reduces vibration, which enhances hole quality and extends tool life. This compact design is particularly suited to handheld and angle drilling tasks where access and control matter most.

Faster cutting with lower feed force thanks to HSS‑G

A ground HSS‑G cutting edge accelerates metalworking tasks: up to 40% faster drilling and roughly 50% less required feed force compared with conventional HSS variants in comparable conditions. This performance advantage reduces operator effort and can shorten cycle times in manual and light industrial operations. HSS‑G is engineered for durability when machining alloyed and unalloyed steels as well as cast materials.

Precise centring and suitability for hard materials

The 135° tip geometry offers a reduced chisel edge and better centring on difficult surfaces, which lowers friction during entry and helps when drilling stainless steel and other hard alloys. The Type N normal spiral is the classic metalworking flute form, combining efficient chip removal with reliable cutting action. When a clear explanation is helpful: a larger tip angle distributes cutting forces over a broader area, improving life and reducing tip wear on tough materials.

Universal fit and targeted applications

With a cylindrical shank the drill fits most three‑jaw chucks, allowing quick preparation for standard drilling rigs and hand drills. Designed under DIN 1897 as part of the Standard Line, this tool by MetavCUT is aimed at technicians, maintenance professionals and workshop users who require dependable performance drilling metals such as steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The extra‑short format also simplifies work in assembly and repair where space is limited.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Twist Drill best used for?
The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is primarily intended for metalworking and excels when drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and hard plastics; its extra‑short form improves stability in thin materials and confined working spaces.

Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in hand drills?
Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill with a cylindrical shank is suitable for Hand and Angle Drills and fits standard three‑jaw chucks, offering universal compatibility for workshop and on‑site applications.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength workpieces and larger drill diameters; its form is easy to grind and withstands greater stresses.

Which three drill types exist?
The main categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills.

Why are twist drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the chisel edge at the tip, significantly lowering friction and required feed force while improving centring in the workpiece.

Can a metal drill be used to drill wood?
A metal drill can be used in wood but generally offers poorer guidance and less clean results; however, it is easier to resharpen and has lower self‑feed tendency.

For which drilling depths is the twist drill most commonly used?
Solid drilling is typically performed with a twist drill; it is most common for diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm.

Which is better, HSS or HSSE?
The common belief that HSSE is categorically superior to HSS is incorrect; selection should consider specific working conditions to justify any higher purchase cost.
