Precision metal drills for reliable, high-performance holemaking
Precision metal drills, commonly supplied as HSS twist drills, are engineered to produce clean, dimensionally accurate cylindrical holes in materials such as alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, grey cast iron, sintered iron and non-ferrous metals like aluminium, copper and brass, delivering consistent results in both manual and CNC operations. Their high-speed steel construction provides exceptional toughness, elasticity and fracture resistance, while variants such as roll-formed HSS-R and ground HSS-G offer cost-effective general performance or enhanced runout accuracy and chip evacuation respectively, and HSS-E or HSS-Co types ensure superior hot hardness when machining stainless or highly alloyed steels. Optimised point geometries (typically 118° for softer steels and 135° for harder grades) combined with a cross grind reduce feed force, enable accurate centring and promote efficient chip removal, improving process reliability and prolonging tool life.

Twist Drill (Type N, Ø 4.1 mm, 135° tip, HSS‑G, Bright Finished, Short, DIN 338) by MetavCUT The Twist Drill Type N short version is a precision metal‑drilling tool designed for use with hand and drilling machines, ideal for stainless and alloyed steels. HSS‑G material for hard metals 135° tip for stainless steel and hard materials Short design for increased stability and precision Fully ground shank for secure clamping Conforms to DIN 338 standard Faster penetration and less operator effort for metalworking The HSS‑G composition of this Twist Drill delivers measurable efficiency: tests show up to 40% faster drilling and about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. This translates into shorter cycle times and reduced operator fatigue when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels and non‑ferrous metals. The combination of material and geometry makes the tool especially suited for demanding production tasks where throughput and consistency matter. Short length increases rigidity and accuracy in tough jobs A short design according to DIN 338 reduces the exposed overhang and therefore the tendency to deflect, which improves hole position and roundness. For precision tasks on tougher materials the reduced flute length keeps the tool stable and minimises chatter. This benefit is particularly important when drilling from fixtures or in confined set‑ups where control and repeatability are required rather than deep penetration. 135° tip and Type N spiral: reliable centring and wear behaviour Equipped with a 135° tip, the drill is optimised for harder workpiece materials such as stainless steel; the flatter point lowers plunge forces and delays wear on the cutting lip. As a Type N (normal spiral) tool, it offers the classic metal‑drilling balance between chip evacuation and cutting action. The tip geometry also supports better centring on curved surfaces and reduces burr formation, producing cleaner entry holes and simplifying downstream deburring. Secure clamping and broad machine compatibility The fully ground shank provides consistent diameter tolerance for secure clamping in chucks, reducing slippage and concentricity errors. Designed as a short twist drill for manual and machine drilling operations, it suits both stationary drilling machines and robust hand drills. This makes it a practical choice for workshops and maintenance technicians who need a reliable, easy‑to‑mount cutter for everyday metalworking tasks. Who benefits and when to choose this tool Maintenance crews, toolroom staff and production operators working with steels, castings or hard plastics will find this short Twist Drill advantageous where accuracy and tool life are priorities. Choose this twist drill when hole precision, reduced feed effort and process reliability are required rather than maximum hole depth. For guided production runs and fixture work the shorter length improves handling and repeatability.

For what is a Twist Drill used? A Twist Drill is mainly applied in the machining of high‑strength materials and for larger drill diameters. This form is easy to sharpen and withstands higher loads. Which three drill types exist? There are three main groups: Metal drills, Wood drills, and Stone/Concrete drills. Why are twist drills sharpened? Sharpening reduces the cross‑edge at the point of the twist drill. By sharpening the point, frictional forces are significantly lowered so that less feed force is required. At the same time the tip centres better in the workpiece. Can a metal drill be used to drill wood? Metal drills can be used in wood, but they generally guide less well and produce a less clean hole. They are, however, easier to re‑grind and show less self‑feeding behaviour. For which drilling depths is the twist drill most used? Solid drilling is commonly performed with a twist drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm the twist drill is the most frequently used tool. What is better, HSS or HSSE? The common belief that HSSE steels are always superior to HSS is incorrect. When deciding, consider whether the working conditions justify the higher purchase cost of HSSE.

Better control and straighter holes thanks to the short design Because the overall length is reduced, vibration and deflection are minimised, resulting in straighter bores and improved surface finish. The compact geometry of this short variant increases rigidity when clamped in the chuck, which is especially advantageous for precise bench and hand drilling tasks. Users notice fewer wander effects at the start of the hole and a lower tendency for the tool to chatter under moderate feeds. Faster centring and adaptable cutting with the 118° point A 118° point angle offers balanced entry performance and is well suited to softer to medium-hard metals and general-purpose shop work. This tip geometry helps to centre the bit quickly without excessive force, making initial alignment easier on curved or slightly irregular surfaces. For operators unfamiliar with drill geometry, the shorter point reduces the chance of slipping while starting the hole and supports consistent results. Designed for workshop use and straightforward application Engineered to DIN 338 standards, this bit fits the typical requirements of industrial and craft environments: consistent dimensions, reliable tolerances and easy handling. The black surface finish improves visibility against bright metal shavings and can offer modest protection against corrosion. Suited to standard drilling machines and hand operation, the tool is a practical choice for mechanics, maintenance teams and metal fabricators seeking a robust general-purpose twist drill.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is intended primarily for metalworking; the HSS composition makes this drill suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many plastics, delivering reliable performance in standard shop conditions. How does the short version of the Twist Drill improve results? A short Twist Drill reduces overhang and therefore deflection, which improves hole accuracy and surface finish. The shorter length increases rigidity in the chuck and lowers the tendency to chatter during manual or machine drilling. For what is a Twist Drill mainly used? A Twist Drill is mainly applied to the machining of high-strength materials and large drill diameters. Its form allows straightforward sharpening and it withstands higher loads during drilling. Which three drill types exist? The three common drill types are metal drill, wood drill and stone/concrete drill. Why are Twist Drills pointed? Pointing reduces the cross-cut at the tip of the Twist Drill. By regrinding the tip, friction forces are significantly lowered which reduces the required feed force; at the same time the drill tip centres better in the workpiece. Can a metal drill be used for wood drilling? A metal drill can be used in wood, but guidance and hole cleanliness are typically worse than with a dedicated wood bit. Metal drills are easier to resharpen and have less self-feeding action. At which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used? A through-hole in solid material is usually made with a Twist Drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool. What is better, HSS or HSSE? The common belief that HSSE steels are always superior to conventional HSS is not universally true. When choosing, consider whether the working conditions justify the higher purchase price of HSSE.

For what is a Twist Drill used? The MetavCUT Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high-strength workpieces and larger bore diameters; its form is easy to sharpen and it withstands higher loads. Which 3 drill types exist? Common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills. Why are Twist Drills sharpened? The sharpening reduces the chisel edge at the tip of the Twist Drill; by sharpening, friction forces are significantly lowered, requiring less feed force and improving centring in the workpiece. Can a Twist Drill be used to drill wood? A metal Twist Drill from MetavCUT can be used in wood but will generally guide less well and produce a less clean hole; however, it is easier to resharpen and shows lower self-feed tendency. At what drill depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used? A through-hole is typically executed with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to 20 mm and drill depths up to 100 mm the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool. What is better, HSS or HSSE? The common belief that HSSE steels are universally superior to standard HSS is not correct; when choosing between HSS and HSSE, evaluate whether working conditions justify the higher initial cost of HSSE for your specific tasks.

Short design for improved stability HSS‑G geometry for precise metalworking 135° point angle for hard material entry Fully ground shank for excellent concentricity Conforms to DIN 338 for short twist drills Precision Material and Cutting Performance The short HSS‑G construction of this twist drill combines sharp cutting edges with material hardness optimised for metalworking. A ground flute geometry results in clean holes and high roundness, while the shorter overhang reduces vibration and bending. For users working with alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, spheroidal graphite iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics, this design translates into higher drilling speed and reduced feed force compared with conventional HSS tools. HSS‑G (ground High Speed Steel) means edges are manufactured by CNC grinding for better sharpness and hole quality. Designed for Demanding Metalwork Engineered as a Type N (normal spiral) twist drill, the 135° point angle facilitates controlled entry into harder workpieces and reduces the tendency to wander on start. This geometry shortens initial penetration time and improves centring when commencing a bore. Because the tool is a short variant, it is particularly suitable for stationary and hand‑guided drilling where stability and accuracy are critical. The cutter is therefore recommended for precision shops and maintenance tasks that require consistently round, burr‑reduced holes. Handling, Compatibility and Practical Advantages With an Overall Length of 75 mm and a Spiral Length of 43 mm, the short profile ensures a stiff setup when mounted in drill chucks. The fully ground cylindrical shank aids in secure clamping and precise run‑out on collets or chucks used in Drilling Machines and hand drills. Users will find less chatter and improved surface finish, which reduces subsequent rework. For laypersons: a fully ground shank means the shaft and flute were machined to exact tolerances rather than rolled, giving better balance and a sharper cutting geometry. Who Benefits Most from This Tool This short twist drill is aimed at professionals and advanced hobbyists who bore metals requiring repeatable accuracy—toolmakers, maintenance technicians and fabrication shops. Because the drill suits harder materials, it is less ideal for very soft woods where specialised wood bits give cleaner guidance; however, its robustness makes it versatile for many workshop applications.

The Twist Drill from MetavCUT is primarily applied to machining high-strength materials and large drill diameters; its long design supports deeper holes and working in hard-to-reach positions. The ground form is easy to re-sharpen and withstands considerable loads, making it suitable for tougher metalworking tasks. Which three drill types exist? Commonly distinguished drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Twist Drill belongs to the metal drill category and is optimised for steels and similar materials. Why are Twist Drills re-sharpened (ausgespitzt)? Re-sharpening reduces the cross-edge at the tip, which lowers friction and thus requires less feed force; for the MetavCUT Twist Drill this improves centring and reduces cutting forces during the initial penetration into the workpiece. Can a metal Twist Drill be used to drill wood? A metal drill such as the MetavCUT HSS-G Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is poorer and the hole finish is not as clean as with a dedicated wood bit; metal drills are easier to re-sharpen and tend to have less self-feeding action in timber. For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most used? A solid through hole is typically executed with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to about 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool, and the MetavCUT long execution is well suited for deeper bores. Is HSS or HSSE better? The common assumption that HSSE steels are always superior to HSS is not universally true.

The roll-formed HSS option offers improved elasticity and a lower risk of breakage for smaller diameters, making the tool resilient under normal workshop loads. For everyday metal-drilling operations, the material choice HSS (High Speed Steel) means reliable wear behaviour and straightforward resharpening when required, so the tool remains serviceable for longer. Easy handling and clear application guidance Because the drill is a short execution, it provides high rigidity and easier handling for both stationary Drilling Machines and portable hand machines. The Type N geometry is not optimised for very soft materials, but it performs consistently when used for its intended purpose: Drills for Metal. Users benefit from simpler set-up, stable cutting performance and predictable chip evacuation in typical workshop environments. For operators less familiar with drill geometries: a 118° point angle is generally preferable for softer metals and improves centring on curved or uneven surfaces. Practical maintenance and recommended use The roll-formed HSS variant reduces the chance of catastrophic breakage when drilling holes under 6 mm diameter; this makes upkeep and resharpening less critical for routine use. Resharpening a short twist drill restores the cutting lips while preserving the correct point angle, keeping the tool precise. When selecting drilling parameters, match speed and feed to the workpiece material and ensure secure clamping to exploit the drill’s stiffness and to prevent chatter or premature wear.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is intended primarily for metalworking; it is best used for drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast iron and other metallic materials where a normal spiral geometry provides reliable cutting and chip removal. Can the MetavCUT Twist Drill be used in a hand-held drill? Yes, the MetavCUT Twist Drill with short execution and HSS material is suitable for both Drilling Machines and quality hand-held drills, offering improved rigidity and easier handling compared with longer designs. For what is a Twist Drill used? Twist Drills are mainly applied to the machining of high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; their form is easy to resharpen and they withstand higher loads. Which three drill types exist? The three main drill types are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. Why are twist drills pointed? Pointing reduces the cross-cut at the tip of the twist drill. By pointing, friction forces are significantly lowered so that less feed force is necessary and the drill tip centres better in the workpiece. Can a twist drill be used to drill wood? A metal drill can also be used in wood; however, guidance is poorer and the result is not as clean. Metal drills are easier to resharpen and have a lower tendency to self-feed. For which drilling depths is the twist drill mostly used? A through-hole in solid material is performed with a twist drill. For diameters up to 20 mm and drilling depths up to 100 mm, the twist drill is the most commonly used tool. What is better, HSS or HSSE? The general belief that HSSE steels are inherently superior to standard HSS steels is incorrect. When choosing, consider whether the working conditions justify the higher initial cost of HSSE.
4.3mm HSS-E Twist Drill DIN 338 ,short, 5% cobalt-alloyed, Type N - MetavCUT
Twist Drill (Type N) — MetavCUT; 4.3 mm; Short; HSS‑E; 135° point angle; 5% cobalt‑alloyed; Fully Ground; DIN 338 The Twist Drill (Type N) from MetavCUT is a short HSS‑E metal drill designed for precise, stable drilling in harder materials on drilling machines. Short design for higher rigidity and precision 4.3 mm diameter for precise metal holes 135° point angle for harder materials HSS‑E with 5% cobalt for enhanced durability Fully ground shank and DIN 338 conformity Precise holes through higher rigidity and stability The Twist Drill with a short design reduces the out‑of‑chuck overhang, resulting in noticeably less vibration and improved concentricity when machining metal. With a nominal 4.3 mm diameter and compact 47 mm spiral length, this drill delivers higher stability compared with longer variants, which directly benefits hole quality and repeatability. For workshop environments where accuracy matters, the reduced tendency to bend means fewer rejects and a steadier process, especially when using a dedicated Drilling Machine. Material choice and tip geometry tailored for hard materials Constructed from HSS‑E with 5% cobalt, the tool offers improved red hardness and wear resistance for demanding cuts. The 135° point angle is specifically chosen to ease entry and reduce chipping when working with harder steels and alloyed materials, while the Type N normal spiral remains the proven choice for general metalworking. Conformity to DIN 338 signals compatibility with industry expectations for short, cylindrical shank drills, and helps you match the right tool to the machining task. Fully ground geometry for accurate, clean drilling A fully ground flute and point geometry produce sharp cutting edges and excellent runout behaviour, resulting in clean bores and precise diameters. Grinding (CNC‑grind) creates the typical HSS‑G characteristics: high edge sharpness and excellent concentricity. Note that ground drills can be more brittle than rolled alternatives and benefit from correct clamping, moderate cutting parameters and adequate cooling to avoid premature fracture. The short variant reduces these risks further by minimising leverage on the cutting edge. Application focus, user guidance and workshop compatibility Designed primarily as a Drill for Metal, this short HSS‑E twist drill is ideal for workshop machinists, toolrooms and maintenance departments that require repeatable, accurate holes in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and plastics. The tool is best used in stationary or portable drilling machines with secure chucking and appropriate coolant.

The MetavCUT Twist Drill Type N is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger drilling diameters; its shape allows relatively easy re‑sharpening and it withstands higher loads, making it suitable for robust metalworking tasks. Which three drill types are there? Typical categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills, and the MetavCUT Twist Drill is positioned within the metal drill group for machining metals. Why are Twist Drills point‑sharpened? The point sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, which lowers friction and therefore requires less feed force; with the MetavCUT Twist Drill this also improves centring of the tip in the workpiece. Can you use a metal drill for wood? A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is poorer and hole quality is usually inferior; the advantage is easier re‑grinding and less tendency for self‑feeding, but expect a rougher finish. At what drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used? A through‑hole is typically made with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to about 20 mm and depths up to approximately 100 mm the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool, and the MetavCUT short variant is optimised for stability at such depths. What is better, HSS or HSSE? The common belief that HSSE steels are always superior to HSS is not universally correct; when choosing a MetavCUT Twist Drill, evaluate whether the specific working conditions justify a higher‑cost HSSE tool, since HSS‑E may already provide the required performance.
