High-performance HSS twist drills for precise metalworking
HSS twist drills DIN 338 type N, short and TiN-coated, are engineered for fast, accurate drilling in unalloyed and low-alloy steels, cast iron and non-ferrous metals, delivering reliable centring and penetration with their 118° point angle. These twist drills and complementary metalworking drills provide excellent roundness and razor-sharp cutting edges thanks to precision-ground, hardened high-speed steel, while the TiN coating reduces frictional heat to extend tool life and enable higher cutting speeds. Ideal for hand-held, bench and pillar drilling, the short type ensures stable chip evacuation through smooth flutes and consistent performance in maintenance and series production.
8.5mm HSS-G Twist Drill DIN 338 ,short, TIN-coated - MetavCUT
Twist Drill Basic Line — Twist Drill, 8.5 mm, 118° tip, Short, TIN-coated, HSS-G, DIN 338 The Twist Drill Basic Line is a short HSS-G twist drill for Drilling Machine use, optimised for precise metalworking. Short design for increased stability and accuracy TIN-coated surface for reduced wear and longer life Fully ground shank for superior concentricity Conforms to DIN 338 for short cylinder-shank drills Precision and durability for metalworking tasks The Twist Drill Basic Line combines a short design with HSS-G material to deliver greater stability when drilling metal. The reduced overhang lowers the risk of bending, so holes are truer and repeatability improves. This results in more accurate component assembly and fewer rejects in production. The TIN-coated finish diminishes friction and enhances surface hardness, extending tool life under cyclic loads and when used with appropriate cooling. Faster drilling with lower feed forces Thanks to the fully ground geometry and optimised flute design, this short twist drill requires noticeably less axial force during cutting. Users benefit from up to 40% faster penetration in many ferrous materials compared with conventional HSS options, while feed effort is reduced by roughly 50%, making manual drilling on a Drilling Machine easier and more controlled. The 118° tip angle aids centring on semi-soft materials while maintaining good chip evacuation in metalworking. Designed for demanding metal applications Engineered in accordance with DIN 338, this short twist drill is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, sintered iron, copper, bronze, and hard plastics. The short spiral length improves stability for hard materials and larger diameters, making it a practical choice for workshop and industrial settings. Use with coolant is recommended to maximise life and maintain cutting performance, particularly when machining tough or heat-sensitive alloys. Who benefits and how to integrate it into workflows Workshops and maintenance departments that prioritise precision and repeatability will appreciate the Basic Line short twist drills. The 8.5 mm diameter and 117 mm overall length (with a 75 mm spiral length) fit many standard setups and can be used in portable Drilling Machines as well as stationary machines. For best results, clamp workpieces securely, apply suitable cutting fluid, and select appropriate spindle speed for the material being drilled.

8mm HSS-G Twist Drill DIN 338 ,short, TIN-coated - MetavCUT
MetavCUT Twist Drill (Short Twist Drill) — 8 mm, 118°, TIN-coated, Short, DIN 338, HSS-G The MetavCUT Twist Drill is a short Twist Drill designed for precise metalworking with an 8 mm diameter and a 118° point angle for reliable centring in a wide range of metals. MetavCUT Twist Drill short 8 mm TIN-coated for reduced friction and longer life HSS-G fully ground for precise metal drilling 118° Point angle for reliable centring Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills Faster, more precise metal drilling with reduced effort The short design delivers higher stability and less deflection compared with longer drills, which translates into cleaner holes and fewer rejects when working with metal. The HSS-G (ground high-speed steel) geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires around 50% less feed force than conventional HSS drills; this reduces operator fatigue and shortens cycle times in production environments. The combination of short overhang and a fully ground flute results in improved runout accuracy, especially when used in a stable drilling set-up such as a drilling machine. Durable coating and optimised geometry for longer tool life A TIN-coated surface significantly lowers friction and helps to reduce wear when machining alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and non-ferrous metals. With appropriate cooling, the Titanium Nitride layer increases service life and keeps cutting edges sharper for longer, so fewer tool changes are needed. The 118° point angle eases centring on slightly curved or coated surfaces and balances entry aggressiveness with edge strength, which is beneficial when drilling materials like aluminium, copper and hard plastics. Engineered for metal: materials and standards explained Conformity to DIN 338 indicates this tool is a short twist drill with a cylindrical shank manufactured from HSS and produced either by grinding or rolling; the MetavCUT version is ground, which provides very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity. Ground drills excel in metalworking because the flute geometry and primary cutting edges are precise, producing accurate hole dimensions and improved surface finish. Note: ground HSS drills can be more brittle than rolled types and perform best with steady clamping and adequate cooling. Practical use cases and operator guidance This Twist Drill is intended primarily for drilling metal on stationary or portable drilling machines and is suitable for machinists, toolrooms and maintenance shops requiring reproducible, high-quality holes. For best results use moderate spindle speeds, apply a suitable coolant for steels and clamp the workpiece securely. The fully ground shank eases chuck gripping and reduces slippage.

Precision and speed for everyday workshop and production use
The HSS-G twist drill DIN 338 type N, short, ground, TiN-coated, 118° is a high-performance metalworking drill that combines precision grinding with a hard-wearing surface finish. Designed for universal use in hand-held drills as well as bench and pillar drills, this short ground twist drill delivers reliable centring and fast penetration in softer to medium-hard metals.
Where this tool earns its place in the production line
The tool geometry of type N is optimised for normal cutting materials and offers a proven balance of cutting action and chip evacuation. The HSS-G substrate provides a precision-ground profile with razor-sharp cutting edges and smooth flutes for consistent chip removal. The TiN coating reduces frictional heat, enabling higher cutting speeds and markedly longer tool life compared with uncoated alternatives. In practice, that means fewer tool changes, steadier process times and more predictable part quality.
Measurable benefits for workshop efficiency
- Faster machining through higher permissible cutting speeds thanks to TiN surface hardening.
- Extended tool life and reduced edge wear compared with uncoated drills.
- Improved runout accuracy and concentricity from the precision-ground HSS-G profile.
