Body Drill Twist Drill — 4.4 mm, 135°, Double-Sided, Bright Finished, HSS-G by MetavCUT

A Body Drill twist drill designed for precision metalworking, ideal for drilling in automotive panels and thin sheet applications.

• Double-ended reversible design for extended use
• HSS-G material for precise, clean metal holes
• 135° tip optimized for harder materials
• Fully ground shank for excellent concentricity
• Short, robust profile for sheet-metal and bodywork

Durable HSS-G construction for precise metalwork

The Body Drill from MetavCUT is manufactured in HSS-G, a ground high-speed steel grade that delivers high precision and sharp cutting edges. Ground flute geometry provides superior hole quality and repeatable performance when machining alloys and steels. Because the flutes are ground rather than rolled, the result is a cleaner cutting geometry and improved concentricity, which reduces vibration and leads to consistently accurate holes.

Double-sided design that extends tool life

Engineered as a double-sided (double-ended) twist drill, this bit offers practical redundancy: when one tip becomes dull, the tool can be reversed and the second cutting end used, effectively doubling usable life for many workshop scenarios. The compact, short profile makes it particularly suited to tight spaces in automotive bodywork and thin-sheet operations, where a stable, robust tool is required for repeatable drilling.

135° tip and application guidance for harder materials

The 135° tip angle reduces initial cutting forces and improves centring when working with harder materials such as stainless steel or tempered alloys. For users less familiar with drill geometry: a larger tip angle flattens the cutting edge, slowing initial penetration but improving stability and reducing burr formation. This makes the bit well suited for drilling in both alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast irons, and some hard plastics when used with appropriate cutting fluid and moderate speeds.

Compatibility, handling and recommended use

The bit features a fully ground shank designed for secure chucking in standard Drilling Machines and Hand Drills. Its short overall length and ground shank minimise runout, improving precision in repetitive tasks. For best results, use cooling lubricant when drilling tough steels and avoid excessive pecking on very hard materials to reduce the risk of breakage. This tool is aimed at bodywork professionals, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians who require reliable performance in demanding conditions.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
The MetavCUT Body Drill twist drill is primarily used for machining high-strength materials and larger hole diameters in metalworking. Twist drills of this type are often applied to alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics. Their geometry makes them relatively easy to grind and able to withstand significant loads.

Which three drill types exist?
Three common categories are metal drills, wood drills, and stone/concrete drills. The MetavCUT Body Drill belongs to the metal-drill category, designed specifically for metalworking tasks and differing in geometry and material from wood or masonry bits.
