Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) — Double-Sided HSS-G Twist Drill, 3.1 mm, 135° Tip, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank

The Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) is a double-sided Twist Drill designed for precision metalworking in portable drilling machines, combining HSS-G cutting performance with a 135° tip for demanding materials.

• Double-sided design for extended service life
• HSS-G grinding for fast, clean drilling
• 135° tip for hard and stainless steels
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• Bright finish reduces material adhesion

Precision cutting performance for tough metals

The MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer is manufactured from HSS-G, a ground high-speed steel that delivers high cutting speed and precise hole quality. The CNC grinding process produces sharp cutting edges and excellent roundness, which reduces vibration and produces clean bores in alloyed and unalloyed steels. This results in faster advance rates and lower operator effort compared with rolled designs, making the tool particularly effective where consistent hole quality is required.

Optimised geometry for hard materials and tight holes

With a 135° tip angle, this Twist Drill is configured to penetrate tougher materials—such as stainless steel—more reliably than steeper tips. The double-ended layout offers two working tips in one short, rigid body: when one end dulls, invert the drill and resume without interruption. This compact, stable geometry is ideal for sheet-metal work, rivet and thin‑plate holes and applications where runout control matters.

Practical handling for workshop and on-site use

Designed for use in a Drilling Machine or compatible hand drills, the Karosseriebohrer balances rigidity and accessibility: its short overall length lessens bending in portable setups while the fully ground shank ensures high concentricity in chucks. For best results in stationary work and when machining hard alloys, use appropriate cooling and moderate speeds to reduce thermal stress and the risk of breakage.

Clean finishing and application-specific advantages

The bright finished surface reduces chip adhesion and simplifies chip evacuation in many metalworking tasks, supporting cleaner holes and less post‑processing. The Standard Line model delivers a compact solution for metal drilling tasks with an overall length engineered for stability. Use this drill where precision, short overhang and reliable centring are priorities.

FAQ

What is the main use of a Twist Drill?
The Twist Drill like the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; its design allows efficient material removal in metals and provides an easily regrindable edge that withstands substantial loads.

Which three drill types exist?
The main categories are metal drills, wood drills, and masonry/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for steel and non‑ferrous metals.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of a Twist Drill, as with the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer, lowering friction and required feed forces while improving centring accuracy in the workpiece.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used for wood?
A metal drill such as the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) can be used in wood, but it generally provides poorer guidance and a less clean finish than dedicated wood drills; however, metal drills are easier to resharpen and tend to have lower self‑feeding tendency.

For which drilling depths is a Twist Drill most used?
A solid through‑hole is commonly made with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to about 20 mm and drilling depths up to roughly 100 mm, the Twist Drill—such as the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer—is the most frequently used tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The common assumption that HSSE is categorically superior to HSS is not always correct; assess working conditions carefully to decide whether the additional cost of HSSE over an HSS‑grade tool like the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer is justified for your application.
