Karosseriebohrer — Body Drill (Diameter 3.3 mm · 135° Point Angle · Double-sided · Bright Finished · Fully Ground · HSS‑G)

The Karosseriebohrer Body Drill is a compact Twist Drill designed for precision drilling in metal using a drilling machine, ideal for thin sheets, bodywork and industrial applications.

• Double-sided design for extended usability
• HSS‑G fully ground for precise, clean holes
• 135° point angle for harder materials
• Bright finished surface for smooth chip evacuation

Faster, more controlled metal drilling for demanding tasks

The fully ground HSS‑G geometry of this Body Drill delivers a noticeable increase in efficiency: compared with rolled HSS drills, the ground flute and cutting edges provide up to 40% faster drilling while requiring lower feed forces. This means less operator fatigue and more consistent results when working on alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and hard plastics. The 135° point angle reduces walking on tough surfaces and improves centring, making it especially suitable for stainless steel and other harder workpieces.

Reliable double-ended design for workshop flexibility

Thanks to the double-sided (double‑ended) configuration, the Karosseriebohrer functions like two drills in one: if one tip becomes blunt, the drill can be reversed and used again, extending tool life and reducing downtime. The short, sturdy design commonly used in bodywork and sheet-metal work offers stable handling in hand drills and bench machines, while the bright finish aids chip flow and visual inspection of the cutting geometry.

Application focus — engineered for metal and thin-sheet work

This Body Drill is optimised for drilling in metal: legged and unlegged steels, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable castings, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics. For best results in industrial or workshop use, pair the drill with appropriate coolant and secure clamping. When used in a hand drilling machine, the ground shank and precision flute geometry promote steadier running and cleaner hole quality even at higher spindle speeds.

Practical advantages for professional users

The fully ground shaft and precise CNC-style grind deliver high runout accuracy and sharply defined cutting edges, translating into clean, burr‑reduced holes and less rework. Shorter penetration time and reduced thrust mean more efficient production cycles. Users who value repeatable hole quality in bodywork, repair or manufacturing environments will benefit from the drill’s combination of durability and cutting performance.

FAQ

Is the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill suitable for handheld drilling machines?
The MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer Body Drill is designed to be used with drilling machines including hand drills; its short, stable double‑ended form and fully ground shank support accurate running in portable equipment, though for maximum tool life and safety a secure clamp and appropriate speed/coolant are recommended.

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills, like the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill, are mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; they are easy to regrind and withstand significant stresses. The ground HSS geometry typically enables faster cutting and lower feed forces compared with rolled drills.

Which 3 drill types exist?
The three primary drill types are: metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. MetavCUT produces drills optimised for metalworking, such as this Body Drill tailored to sheet and body applications.
