Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — double-sided HSS-G, 3.7 mm, 135°

The Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) is a double-sided Twist Drill for hand Drilling Machines, designed for precise metalworking and sheet-metal applications with a 3.7 mm diameter and a 135° tip angle.

• Double-ended design for extended usability
• HSS-G ground geometry for clean metal holes
• Reduced feed force and faster drilling performance
• Bright finished surface for smooth chip evacuation

High-efficiency cutting for hard materials

The HSS-G ground construction of this Body Drill combines sharp cutting edges with high concentricity, enabling clean, precise holes in a variety of Metals. With a 135° tip angle the drill reduces walking and improves entry in harder materials such as stainless steel and alloyed steel. The fully ground flute geometry produces consistent chips and surface finish, which benefits users who require repeatable, high-quality results.

Practical advantage of a double-sided design

Thanks to the double-sided execution the tool works like two drills in one: when one tip becomes dull it can be reversed and the other end used, extending the service life in daily workshop use. This shorter, robust format is particularly suited for bodywork and thin-sheet drilling where stability and the option to flip the drill increase uptime. Operators will notice lower downtime and fewer tool changes during repetitive tasks.

Optimised handling and recommended operating practice

The fully ground shank and flute geometry deliver high roundness and dimensional accuracy, improving guidance in hand Drilling Machines. For best results when drilling tough or heat-sensitive materials, apply appropriate cooling and moderate cutting speeds to avoid embrittlement. Because ground HSS can be harder and more brittle than rolled versions, stationary use with coolant is recommended for sustained durability.

Suited users and typical applications

This Body Drill is targeted at Automotive Body Shops, Maintenance Technicians and metalworking professionals who need reliable, precise holes in thin to medium-thickness metals. Typical applications include sheet-metal assembly, rivet and fixture preparation and general metal fabrication. The tool is especially effective where clean hole quality and quick tool replacement by flipping the drill are priorities.
