Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — Double-Sided HSS‑G Twist Drill, 3.8 mm, 135° Tip, Bright Finished

Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) is a precision Twist Drill designed for demanding metalworking tasks with a double-sided configuration and a fully ground shank suitable for use in a Drilling Machine.

• MetavCUT Body Drill, 3.8 mm diameter
• Double-sided design for two usable tips
• HSS‑G fully ground for precise metal holes
• 135° tip angle for harder materials
• Bright finished shank, total length 55 mm

Faster, cleaner holes in hard metals for reliable results

The HSS‑G composition and fully ground geometry deliver sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy, so each hole is consistently clean. The 135° tip angle reduces burr formation and improves entry on tougher alloys like stainless steel, while the bright finish supports smooth chip evacuation. Users benefit from reduced rework and more predictable hole tolerances when working with sheet metal, cast parts or non-ferrous components.

Double-sided design reduces downtime and improves workshop efficiency

Because the drill is double-sided, each end has a usable tip, effectively offering two cutting edges in one tool; when one tip dulls it can be reversed, extending tool life and minimizing tool changes. The short, stable geometry makes this drill particularly practical for bodywork and thin-plate drilling where precision and repeatability matter. For workshops aiming to keep cycle times low, the combination of Twist Drill design and robust HSS‑G material supports faster drilling with less feed force.

Practical use cases and target users who profit most

This Twist Drill is tailored for professionals and advanced hobbyists working on automotive body panels, sheet metal fabrication and machine maintenance. The product excels when creating clean holes for rivets or fasteners in thin to medium-thickness metal sheets. For technicians requiring a compact yet accurate drill for repetitive tasks, this tool balances durability and serviceability, while still being suitable for general metal drilling tasks on various alloys.

Care, application tips and simple explanations for non-experts

To achieve optimal results, use appropriate cutting speed, steady coolant flow and a stable drilling setup; the HSS‑G material can be more brittle than rolled alternatives and benefits from cooling. The term fully ground means the flutes and geometry are CNC-ground rather than rolled, producing a sharper cutting edge and better concentricity. For hand or machine use in a Drilling Machine, clamp the workpiece and ensure correct feed to avoid chipping. Re-sharpening is possible but should be done by experienced grinding to maintain the 135° geometry.

FAQ

What materials is the MetavCUT Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) best suited for?
The MetavCUT Body Drill, a purpose-built Twist Drill, is particularly suited to alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, malleable iron, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics; its HSS‑G composition and 135° tip make it effective for harder workpieces and precise metal holes.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; its form permits easy regrinding and it withstands higher loads. It is widely applied where robust, clean holes are needed in metalworking and bodywork.

Which three drill types exist?
Common categories are Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Stone/Concrete Drill; the MetavCUT Body Drill belongs to the Metal Drill group and is optimised for that range of applications.
