DIN 338
High-Quality DIN 338 Twist Drills in Nachreiner Quality
DIN 338 twist drills are specifically designed for machining metals and other materials with similar cutting properties. Metal drill bits made from high-speed steel (HSS, or HSSE for specialized applications) are versatile and widely used. Our DIN 338 twist drills meet all the specifications defined in this standard. The current definition of DIN 338 describes these tools as short twist drills with a cylindrical shank. The standard specifies the allowable types, tolerances, and dimensions for DIN 338 twist drills to ensure they meet the necessary requirements. Contrary to popular belief, the DIN designation does not indicate the quality of the tool itself; it merely assures that certain minimum properties and dimensions have been adhered to during production. With Nachreiner’s DIN 338 twist drills, you receive the added quality and durability that you expect from our tools. Therefore, be sure to use only high-quality branded products in your machines, avoiding DIN 338 twist drills from low-cost manufacturers. While they may be cheaper upfront, lower durability and precision in substandard production are significantly worse compared to our top-quality metal drills.

Reconditioning and Resharpening of DIN 338 Twist Drills
In everyday use, drills are subject to natural wear. However, worn or dull drills do not always have to be immediately discarded and replaced with a new set of twist drills. Many drills can instead be restored to excellent condition through regrinding. This extends their service life and reduces costs compared to purchasing new tools. Additionally, this is an environmentally friendly option, as fewer resources are required for new drills. This Nachreiner service is also available for products from other manufacturers— just ask us about our service options for resharpening drills and other cutting tools.
