Twist Drill — MetavCUT Type N, 5.9 mm, 135° Point, HSS‑G, Extra Short, Bright Finish, DIN 1897

An Twist Drill (Type N) for Drilling Machines providing extra‑short stability and precise metal drilling in confined spaces.

• MetavCUT Type N for metal drilling
• Extra Short design for greater stability
• 135° point angle for harder materials
• Cylindrical shank fits standard three‑jaw chucks
• HSS‑G ground for faster, lower‑force drilling

High-performance drilling for hardened and alloyed metals

The extra‑short HSS‑G Twist Drill delivers improved stability and reduced breakage risk when working with steels and other hard materials. The 135° point angle optimises penetration in tougher alloys and shortens the pilot phase, resulting in more efficient cutting when compared with standard‑length drills. Thanks to the ground geometry, the Tool requires less axial force and allows for controlled cutting even under demanding conditions.

Reliable results in tight or thin‑walled assemblies

Short overall length and reduced flute length make this Twist Drill especially suitable for work in confined spaces or thin materials such as sheet metal and profiles. The Extra Short format increases torsional stiffness and reduces chatter, which improves hole quality and concentricity. This construction is a practical choice for Hand Drilling Machines and situations where workspace is limited.

Simple mounting and universal compatibility

Equipped with a Cylindrical shank, this Twist Drill is compatible with standard three‑jaw chucks and thus integrates easily into existing workshop setups. The classic Type N spiral geometry is optimised for metalworking and offers straightforward re‑sharpening when required. For operations demanding high repeatability, the combination of HSS‑G material and precise grinding ensures consistent performance across batches.

Target users and recommended applications

Designed for machinists, maintenance technicians and industrial workshops, the MetavCUT Twist Drill is targeted at drilling tasks in legated and unlegated steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. The tool is particularly advantageous where quick, accurate holes are needed in challenging materials or restricted environments, providing a balance of durability and ease of use.

FAQ

What is the main use of a Twist Drill?
A MetavCUT Twist Drill (Type N) is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its form is easy to re‑grind and resists higher loads, making it suitable for demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types are commonly distinguished?
Common categories are Metal Drills (such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N), Wood Drills, and Stone/Concrete Drills.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the tip?
Sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of a Twist Drill, significantly lowering friction and required feed forces while improving centring and hole start accuracy for MetavCUT drills.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used in wood?
A metal drill like the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood but will guide less well and produce a less clean finish; however, it is easier to re‑grind and exhibits lower self‑feeding tendencies.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A through hole in solid material is typically executed with a Twist Drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill remains the most frequently used tool.
