0.8 mm diameter for fine, accurate holes
118° tip angle eases centring on workpieces
Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills
Precision and stability for fine metalwork
The short design delivers significantly reduced overhang, which directly improves stability and reduces the tendency to deflect during drilling. With a 0.8 mm point diameter and a 118° tip, this Twist Drill is optimised for small, accurate holes where concentricity matters. Users benefit from cleaner hole edges and less rework, especially when working on thin sheets or tightly toleranced parts. The compact length also enables safer operation in confined setups on workbenches and in jigged fixtures.
Why HSS provides better performance on metal
High Speed Steel (HSS) combines hardness and toughness for demanding machining of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The roll-formed HSS process increases elasticity, lowering the risk of breakage when drilling holes below 6 mm diameter. For the end user, this means longer tool life under normal operating conditions and improved resistance to chipping when entering the workpiece. HSS also maintains cutting edges at elevated temperatures, which supports consistent drilling quality across multiple holes.
Suitable applications and compatible machines
This short Type N drill is intended primarily for metalworking: alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and various plastics. It is compatible with handheld drills and stationary drilling machines; the reduced length is particularly advantageous for drilling in fixtures or where spindle travel is limited. For hobbyists, toolroom technicians and production operators, the bit offers a practical balance between rigidity and accessibility when machining components or preparing pilot holes.
Ideal users and typical use cases
Engineers, model makers and maintenance technicians will appreciate the combination of precision and robustness offered by this short twist drill. The specification to DIN 338 signals standardized dimensions and reliable interchangeability in professional settings. Where small-diameter, repeatable holes are required—such as in electronics enclosures, instrument panels or precision assemblies—this drill reduces setup time and improves yield due to fewer misaligned or oversized holes.
Practical tips to extend service life and improve hole quality
Operate the drill with appropriate cutting speeds and adequate lubrication or coolant when machining steels to reduce heat build-up. Use a centre punch to avoid walking on smooth surfaces and consider peck drilling in deeper holes to evacuate chips. Light backing material can prevent burr formation on exit. These simple measures enhance the performance of the HSS short twist drill and preserve edge integrity over many cycles.

Twist Drill Type N for Metal — HSS, 1.1 mm Ø, 118°, short, black, DIN 338 — MetavCUT
The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metal drill designed for drilling machines and hand drills to deliver precise, stable holes in alloyed and unalloyed metals.
Short HSS design for increased stability
DIN 338 compliance for standard dimensions
118° tip for reliable penetration in metals
1.1 mm diameter for precise small holes
Suitable for drilling machines and hand drills
Durable High-Speed Steel for reduced breakage and consistent results
Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel), this short Twist Drill offers enhanced elasticity that reduces the risk of breakage when producing small diameter holes, especially under 6 mm. The roll-formed HSS production method increases toughness while maintaining cutting performance, which benefits users who require reliable results during repetitive metalworking tasks. The combination of HSS and a short design leads to fewer tool failures and more consistent hole quality.
Short design delivers improved stability and precision in metalworking
A short execution according to DIN 338 reduces overhang and therefore bending or wandering during drilling, resulting in higher precision and cleaner hole geometry. For workshop applications where exact positioning matters, the compact length increases rigidity and control. The Type N normal spiral geometry is optimised for metal drilling and keeps cutting forces predictable, so users achieve repeatable outcomes even in demanding setups.
118° tip explained — why it matters for material entry and centring
The 118° tip angle balances fast penetration and reliable centring on flat or slightly curved surfaces. For many ferrous and non-ferrous metals, this angle eases initial contact and shortens the time to break through the material. In contrast, a 135° tip is better for very hard steels where regrind life and cutting edge strength are priorities. Novices: a smaller tip angle usually helps centring; a larger angle reduces wandering and extends tool life on hard workpieces.
Tailored for metalworkers who need precise small-hole performance
With a 1.1 mm diameter and compatibility with common drilling machines and hand drills, this tool suits technicians, maintenance staff and hobbyists focused on precise metal fabrication. The Type N spiral is intended for metal and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics.

Twist Drill Type N, Ø 10.25 mm, 118°, HSS, short, black, DIN 338 — MetavCUT
The Twist Drill Type N is a short HSS metal drill designed for precise work with hand drills and drilling machines.
Short design for increased stability and precision
Made from roll-formed HSS for elasticity and strength
Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylindrical shank drills
118° tip for reliable centring in metals
Suitable for hand drill and stationary drilling machines
Greater Precision through a Short, Stable Design
A short Twist Drill reduces overhang and bending, delivering higher stability and more accurate results when working with metal. The reduced exposed length makes the tool less prone to deflection, which benefits precision tasks such as jig and fixture work or repeatable hole patterns. This construction also simplifies handling in confined spaces and when using a hand-operated drilling machine, giving consistent hole quality with less risk of chatter.
High-Performance Material for Metal Drilling
Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel), this twist drill combines elasticity with hardness for drilling a range of metals. The roll-formed production process improves toughness and reduces the chance of breakage, especially for hole diameters under 6 mm; for the 10.25 mm size this means balanced wear resistance and ductility. HSS is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics, providing versatility across workshop tasks.
Standardised Geometry for Reliable Results
Compliance with DIN 338 ensures the drill meets defined dimensions and tolerances for short cylindrical-shank drills, simplifying tool selection and replacement. The Type N normal spiral geometry is optimised for metalworking and offers reliable chip evacuation and cutting action. The 118° tip angle is chosen to aid centring on slightly curved surfaces and to perform well in softer metals, while still delivering good penetration and a clean entry.
Practical Use and Care Recommendations
For best results, use appropriate cutting speeds and steady feed when drilling steels and non-ferrous metals; applying cutting fluid extends tool life and improves surface finish. Start holes with a centre punch for guaranteed centring, and prefer clamping or fixturing the workpiece to avoid movement. The short overall length and 87 mm spiral length make this tool well suited for guided drilling setups and handheld operations where control and rigidity matter.
Strong recommendation: Choose this MetavCUT twist drill for metalworking projects that demand stability and dependable HSS performance — for further technical advice or help selecting the right drill for a specific application contact METAV Werkzeuge for expert support via eMail info@metav-werkzeuge.com or phone +49 2822 7131930, WhatsApp +49 170 2837271

Twist Drill short Type N — 10.4 mm, 118° tip, HSS, black, DIN 338, short
The Twist Drill short Type N is a precision HSS metal drill designed for stable, accurate drilling with hand drills and drilling machines.
Short design for higher stability and precision
HSS material for resilient metal drilling
118° tip angle for easy centring in softer metals
Conforms to DIN 338 for reliable short twist drills
Suitable for use with hand drills and drilling machines
Precision and stability for demanding metalwork
The short configuration of this Twist Drill reduces overhang and vibration, resulting in greater stability and more accurate hole placement in metal. Because the effective working length is shorter than standard bits, the tool resists bending under load and improves concentricity when drilling smaller holes. This advantage is particularly useful in maintenance, fabrication and jig-based workshop tasks where repeatability and positional accuracy are required.
High-speed steel construction that lowers breakage risk
Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel) and produced by roll-forming for elasticity, the drill offers improved toughness for standard metal tasks. The material selection makes the bit less brittle at diameters below 6 mm and reduces the chance of breakage during interrupted cuts. As a result, drilling through alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics becomes more dependable, extending tool life and lowering replacement frequency.
Optimised geometry for efficient metal penetration
The 118° tip angle gives a balance between easy centring and cutting aggressiveness, helping the point to engage without wandering on curved or uneven surfaces. Combined with the Type N normal spiral, this geometry is tailored to general-purpose metalworking rather than wood or very soft materials. Users benefit from predictable chip formation and reduced walking at the start of the hole, which increases first-pass success and reduces rework.
Conformity and practical workshop benefits
Compliance with DIN 338 means the bit meets established dimensions and mechanical expectations for short twist drills with cylindrical shank, aiding tool selection and machine compatibility. The short execution also allows clamping deeper in chucks for safer holding. Colour coding as black provides a visual reference and corrosion resistance from surface treatment. Overall, this design supports efficient production tasks and repair work where stability and standardisation matter.
Intended users and typical applications
This drill is aimed at craftsmen, maintenance technicians and metalworking professionals needing a reliable general-purpose metal drill. Typical applications include workshop fabrication, machine maintenance, panel work and small-series production where a robust, standardised tool is preferred. For tasks in non-metal materials, different geometries are recommended, while this bit excels in typical steel and non-ferrous metal drilling.
