Body Drill (Twist Drill) — Double‑Ended HSS‑G, Ø 4.3 mm, 135°

The Body Drill is a double‑ended Twist Drill from MetavCUT designed for precise metalworking and drilling machines, ideal for short, stable holes in sheet metal and chassis applications.

• Double‑ended design for two usable tips
• HSS‑G material for sharp, precise holes
• 135° tip angle for harder materials
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• Bright finished surface for easy chip evacuation

Faster, more accurate metal drilling with a ground HSS design

The Body Drill delivers a measurable productivity advantage: its HSS‑G construction and fully ground Flute Geometry enable up to 40% faster drilling with significantly lower axial force compared to conventional HSS bits. This makes shorter cycle times and reduced operator fatigue achievable, particularly when processing Alloyed and Unalloyed Steel. The 135° Tip Angle reduces chatter when penetrating harder materials, improving Hole Quality and prolonging tool life.

Stable double‑ended format for workshop efficiency

A Double‑Ended or double‑sided configuration means the tool functions like two drills in one: when one tip is worn, simply reverse the bit to use the other end. This design is especially valuable in high‑throughput sheet‑metal and chassis work where quick tip changes reduce downtime. The bright finished surface aids Chip Evacuation while the short overall length contributes to rigidity and better axial control during drilling.

Clear suitability and handling recommendations for users

This Twist Drill is specified for metalworking tasks and suits both stationary Drilling Machines and robust hand drills when used with proper clamping and coolant. For best results in Stainless Steel and other hard alloys, maintain steady spindle speed, use cutting fluid, and avoid excessive pecking; these measures preserve the HSS‑G cutting edges and help achieve round, burr‑reduced holes. Operators seeking repeatable precision will appreciate the high Round‑Run Accuracy of the fully ground Shank.

Sustainable use, lifecycle and support from METAV Werkzeuge

Choosing a durable ground HSS tool reduces consumable turnover and scrap from poor holes, supporting more efficient manufacturing practices. For technical questions about feed rates, speeds or suitable coolant for specific alloys, METAV Werkzeuge offers comprehensive advice and support tailored to your application. Their guidance helps ensure safe, optimal use of the Body Drill and maximises service life.

FAQ

What is the Body Drill by MetavCUT best used for?
The Body Drill (Twist Drill) from MetavCUT is primarily used for cutting holes in metal, especially in chassis and sheet‑metal applications; its double‑ended design and HSS‑G material make it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast irons and hard plastics where short, precise holes are required.

Which three drill types exist?
Commonly distinguished drill types are Metal Drills (often HSS or HSS‑G), Wood Drills, and Masonry/Concrete Drills; the Body Drill from MetavCUT belongs to the Metal Drill category and is optimised for metalworking tasks.

What is a Twist Drill used for?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; its geometry allows straightforward re‑grinding and it withstands considerable loads, making the MetavCUT Body Drill suitable for demanding metal drilling operations.

Why are Twist Drills pointed (sharpened)?
The point sharpening reduces the cross‑edge at the tip of the Twist Drill, lowering friction and thus reducing required feed forces; this sharpening also improves centring in the workpiece and results in cleaner, more accurate holes when using tools such as the MetavCUT Body Drill.
