Maykestag HSS-Co5 Stub Drill 2.4mm Extra Short Series DIN 1897 PZ
Professional 2.4mm extra-short stub drill manufactured from HSS-Co5, featuring DIN 1897 dimensions, Maykestag Type PZ geometry, a 130° point angle and Form C split-point geometry for accurate, rigid shallow-hole drilling up to 3xD.
The Maykestag Code 901 is a precision extra-short twist drill designed for applications where high rigidity, accurate positioning and controlled shallow-hole drilling are important. Its compact DIN 1897 construction reduces overall tool projection compared with conventional jobber-length drills, helping to minimise deflection and improve stability during machining. Manufactured from HSS-Co5 and designed for drilling depths up to three times the drill diameter, the Code 901 is particularly well suited to professional production, machine-shop and precision drilling applications across the material groups rated by Maykestag.
Product highlights
- HSS-Co5 construction: Cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel provides the toughness, hot hardness and cutting-edge durability required for demanding professional drilling applications.
- Extra-short design: Compact DIN 1897 proportions increase tool rigidity and help minimise drill deflection during machining.
- 2.4mm cutting diameter: Precision 2.40mm drill diameter with an h8 diameter tolerance.
- Type PZ geometry: Heavy-duty drill geometry with a reinforced web/core for increased rigidity, stability and resistance to breakage.
- 130° point angle: The specified point geometry supports controlled cutting and accurate drilling.
- Form C split point: Special point shape C provides a split-point cutting geometry designed to improve drill engagement and centring.
- Up to 3xD drilling depth: Designed for controlled drilling to a maximum recommended depth of approximately three times the drill diameter.
- DIN 1897: Manufactured according to the dimensional standard for extra-short twist drills.
Why Choose Maykestag?
Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool brand focused on precision-manufactured drilling, milling, threading and reaming tools for professional machining. Accurate drill geometry, controlled dimensional tolerances and carefully selected cutting materials are particularly important with small-diameter drills, where rigidity and cutting-edge precision directly affect hole accuracy and tool performance.
The Code 901 series combines an extra-short DIN 1897 construction with HSS-Co5 tool material, Type PZ geometry, a 130° point angle and Form C split-point geometry. The resulting compact drill is designed to provide dependable rigidity and controlled cutting for shallow-hole drilling across the material groups specified by Maykestag.
Designed for Accurate Shallow-Hole Drilling
The extra-short proportions of the Code 901 reduce unsupported tool length, helping the drill resist bending and vibration during machining. With a 2.4mm drill, the compact construction helps maintain stability and reduce deflection during precision drilling. Combined with the 130° point, reinforced Type PZ geometry and Form C split point, the design supports accurate engagement with the workpiece and controlled drilling. Correct cutting speed, feed rate, workholding and coolant or lubrication practices should always be selected for the workpiece material and drilling conditions.
