HSS Twist Drill Bit DIN 338, Type N, short, roll-forged, black 118°

Twist Drill — Type N short HSS Twist Drill, 4.7 mm, 118° point angle, Black, DIN 338 The Twist Drill Type N short HSS is a precision metalworking tool designed for stable, accurate drilling in alloyed and unalloyed metals with hand and drilling machines. Short design for improved stability HSS material for durable metal machining 118° point for fast penetration in softer metals DIN 338 compliant for standardised quality Suitable for Hand and Drilling Machines Precise metal drilling with measurable benefits Designed for demanding metalworking tasks, the short Type N Twist Drill offers a clear advantage in stability and accuracy. Because the short flute length reduces overhang, the tool shows less deflection during operation, which results in more concentric holes and less rework. The HSS material (High Speed Steel) ensures toughness and wear resistance when drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics. One direct benefit is fewer rejects and predictable results on production runs where repeatability matters. Built for stability and easy handling The compact geometry and DIN 338 conformity make this short twist drill especially suitable where rigidity is essential. A shortened overall length minimises bending moments, so the bit remains stable even under higher cutting forces. Use in a properly secured chuck on a Hand or Drilling Machine yields cleaner hole edges and reduces chatter, which helps to achieve better surface finish and longer tool life. For workshop environments prioritising precision, the compact design is a practical improvement over longer alternatives. Simple explanation of key technical features The 118° point angle balances centring ability and cutting efficiency: a slightly sharper tip eases entry into softer metals and Aluminium, while still performing well in general steel applications. The designation Type N denotes the normal spiral geometry suited to general metal drilling — not optimised for extremely soft timber or specialised masonry. This short HSS variant can be roll‑rolled or ground according to DIN specifications; roll‑rolled versions often show improved ductility and reduced breaking risk for small diameters under 6 mm. Who benefits and how to apply this tool Professional tradespeople and precision workshops that require repeatable, reliable holes in metal benefit most from this short HSS Twist Drill. When accurate hole position and reduced runout are priorities, the shorter length gives tangible process advantages. Start drilling at moderate speed with appropriate cutting fluid for steel work to extend tool life; reduce feed if you experience excessive vibration. For applications demanding higher wear resistance or use on very hard stainless steels, consider alternative geometries or coatings.

Manufactured in accordance with DIN 338, this short twist drill offers a reduced overhang that increases rigidity and minimises bending under load. The result is consistent hole quality and longer tool life when drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and plastics. Users benefit from fewer rejects and less tool breakage during standard operations. Precision Tip Geometry That Improves Start and Centring A 118° tip angle provides better initial penetration and easier centring on slightly curved or uneven surfaces, which is especially useful for softer metals and general workshop tasks. The Type N “normal spiral” geometry is the classical choice for metal drilling, offering predictable chip removal and straightforward resharpening. This tip geometry reduces walking at the drill entry and supports cleaner, more accurate holes with minimal rework required. Compact Short Design for Stability and Accuracy With a reduced overall length and a spiral length optimised for stability, this short Twist Drill minimises deflection during use and is therefore suited to jobs requiring precision. The shorter configuration makes it particularly appropriate for bench work and applications where the drill protrudes only slightly from the chuck, improving concentricity and surface finish. Operators will notice steadier feeds and a lower risk of drill bending when working with diameters in the mid range. Practical Usage and Target Applications Designed primarily as a Drill for Metal, the Twist Drill Type N from MetavCUT is aimed at tradespeople, machinists and workshops that perform general metal fabrication and repair. Its roll-formed HSS manufacturing makes it especially suitable for drilling holes under 6 mm in a variety of metallic materials, while still being serviceable on non-ferrous materials and plastics. The black finish provides a clear visual contrast for alignment and handling during repetitive tasks. Care, Sharpening and Compatibility Notes This short HSS Twist Drill is straightforward to resharpen and maintain; its geometry allows conventional grinding without complex special tooling. For optimal results, use appropriate cutting lubrication and moderate feed rates to reduce heat build-up. When precision is critical, a rigid chuck and minimal overhang are recommended to preserve concentricity and hole quality.
