MetavCUT Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — Twist Drill for Drilling Machine, 4.5 mm Ø, 135° tip, HSS‑G, double‑sided, bright finished, fully ground shaft

The MetavCUT Body Drill is a double‑sided Twist Drill engineered for precise metalworking on drilling machines, combining HSS‑G cutting performance with a 135° tip for hard materials.

• Double‑ended design for two usable tips
• High‑speed HSS‑G for precise metal drilling
• 135° tip for harder materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high roundness accuracy
• Bright finished surface for improved corrosion resistance

Engineered for hard metals with lower feed force and fast cutting

The MetavCUT Body Drill uses HSS‑G material to achieve high cutting performance in demanding conditions. The ground geometry results in very sharp cutting edges and improved roundness, which can lead to up to 40% faster drilling and approximately 50% less required feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. This makes the tool particularly efficient when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels and other hard metals, delivering clean holes with minimal burr formation.

Practical double‑ended design and robust shaft for workshop use

A double‑sided or double‑ended Twist Drill offers clear workshop advantages: two usable tips in one short, stable body. If one tip becomes blunt, the drill can be reversed and the opposite tip used, effectively providing two tools in a single bit. The fully ground shaft and bright finished surface contribute to high concentricity and easier handling in chucks, while the compact overall length increases stability when drilling thin sheets or rivet holes.

Best applications and dimensional clarity for correct tool selection

Designed for metalworking, this Body Drill is suitable for Drilling Machines and hand drills where precision is required. Key dimensions are a diameter of 4.5 mm, a spiral/ flute length of 13 mm and an overall length of 58 mm. Typical materials include cast iron, sintered iron, tempered cast, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics; the 135° tip reduces thrust and improves centring in tougher substrates. Choose appropriate speeds and coolant when machining harder alloys.

Simple recommendations to prolong life and improve hole quality

To avoid chipping or breakage, use moderate speeds and adequate cooling when working with hard materials, and secure the workpiece to eliminate runout. The ground flute geometry improves chip evacuation, but the short spiral length is optimised for through‑holes and thin‑section drilling rather than deep boring. For repeatable, high‑quality results, prefer stationary setups with coolant and verify feed rates to match the stated benefits of reduced feed force.

FAQ

Can the MetavCUT Body Drill be used in a handheld drill or is a drilling machine required?
The MetavCUT Body Drill is suitable for use in both a drilling machine and a robust hand drill, but best results—especially in hard or alloyed metals—are achieved with a stable drilling machine and appropriate coolant to reduce heat and prevent breakage.

Why choose a double‑sided Twist Drill like the MetavCUT Body Drill?
A double‑sided Twist Drill provides two usable tips in one tool; when one end becomes blunt it can simply be reversed, offering greater cost efficiency and reduced downtime in workshops handling thin sheets or riveted assemblies.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its design allows relatively easy re‑grinding and it withstands higher loads, making it especially common for metalworking tasks and holes in sheet or structural components.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three common drill families: metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills. Each type is optimised for material‑specific geometry and cutting behaviour.
