Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — Twist Drill for Drilling Machine, Diameter 3 mm, 135° Point, Double-sided, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, Fully Ground

The Body Drill is a compact Twist Drill designed for Drilling Machine applications, featuring a 3 mm Diameter and a 135° Point Angle for reliable performance in harder metals.

• Robust HSS‑G material for hard metal drilling
• Double‑sided design allows quick flip‑over reuse
• 135° Point Angle for improved centring in stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• Short 46 mm overall length suited to sheet metal work

Precision for Hard Materials and Faster Cutting

Because the twist drill is made from HSS‑G, the tool delivers high cutting performance on alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, and non‑ferrous metals. The 135° Point Angle reduces the tendency to wander when starting a hole in harder materials and shortens the initial penetration time; this results in cleaner holes and improved process reliability. The fully ground geometry allows sharper cutting edges, which translates into up to faster drilling and lower required feed force compared with rolled drills.

Practical Design for Automotive and Sheet‑Metal Tasks

The double‑ended configuration means the drill functions like two tools in one: when one tip becomes blunt it can be reversed, reducing downtime and stock requirements. Its bright finished surface and relatively short overall length make this bit particularly suitable for bodywork, rivet holes and other thin‑sheet operations where stability and compact reach are required. This design supports efficient workflows in repair shops and manufacturing environments with frequent small holes.

Runout Accuracy, Sharpness and Handling Recommendations

A fully ground Shank and precision grinding produce improved runout accuracy, yielding rounder, more precise bores. However, ground HSS tools can be more brittle than rolled equivalents; therefore, cooling and moderate speeds are recommended for prolonged tool life. When used with appropriate cutting fluid and correct spindle alignment on a Drilling Machine, the tool provides consistent results and easier re‑grinding when necessary.

Who Benefits and When to Choose This Drill

Metalworkers, automotive technicians and maintenance teams will find this twist drill advantageous when working with harder steels or when hole quality and centring matter. The combination of HSS‑G metallurgy, the 135° tip geometry and double‑ended usability makes it a practical choice for repair shops and production settings where quick tip reversal and precise holes reduce cycle time. If uncertainty remains about suitability for a specific application, METAV Werkzeuge offers competent technical advice to help determine whether this tool matches the requested material and drilling parameters.
