Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — Double-sided Twist Drill, 4.6 mm, 135° Point, HSS-G, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank, Standard Line by MetavCUT

The Body Drill is a double-sided Twist Drill designed for precise metalworking with Drilling Machines, offering fast penetration and reliable hole quality for sheet metal, castings and alloyed steels.

• Double-sided design for reversible use
• HSS-G material for precise metal drilling
• 135° point angle for harder materials
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• Bright finished surface for improved corrosion resistance

Faster, cleaner holes thanks to precision engineering

Manufactured for demanding metal applications, this Twist Drill combines a HSS-G cutting geometry with a 135° point angle to reduce chatter and improve centring in hard materials. The ground flute geometry provides sharp cutting edges and consistent chip evacuation, which means fewer restarts and a more predictable drilling process. For workshops that rely on repeatable results, this configuration lowers scrap rates and shortens cycle times.

Practical benefits of the double-sided, fully ground design

A double-ended layout lets the operator use both ends, effectively doubling tool life per piece and reducing tool changes. The fully ground shank ensures excellent concentricity in chucks and collets, minimising runout and vibration during high-speed operation. This results in cleaner Bohrlöcher and less secondary finishing, especially when working with thin sheet metal and structural parts.

Where this drill excels and who benefits most

The tool is optimised for metalworking: suitable for legierte und unlegierte Stähle, Gusswerkstoffe, Nichteisenmetalle and hard plastics. Professionals in Bodywork, Maintenance and Production will value the combination of robustness and precision. Workshops using portable Drilling Machines or small stationary units benefit from the reversible tip and the reliable performance of a ground HSS geometry.

Handling recommendations and machining tips

To preserve tool life, use appropriate cutting speeds for the material and apply coolant where possible, particularly for stainless steels. The Bright Finished surface eases chip release and reduces corrosion risk during storage. Because the drill is ground rather than rolled, it delivers superior hole quality but can be more brittle; avoid excessive side loads and use steady axial feed to prevent breakage.

FAQ

What is the Body Drill from MetavCUT used for and which machine fits best?
The MetavCUT Body Drill is a double-sided Twist Drill intended for metalworking and is primarily used with handheld Drilling Machines or small bench drills where precise, repeatable holes in sheet and cast materials are required.

Can the MetavCUT Body Drill be used for different metal types?
The MetavCUT Body Drill with HSS-G construction is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics, offering clean holes and reliable tool life under proper cutting conditions.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly applied when machining high-strength materials and large drill diameters. Its geometry is easy to grind and withstands higher loads, making it suitable for holes in demanding metals.

Which three drill types exist?
The three main drill types are metal drills, wood drills, and stone/concrete drills.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross-cut at the tip of a Twist Drill. This lowers frictional forces so less feed force is required and improves the drill's centring in the workpiece.

Can a metal drill be used for wood drilling?
Metal drills can be used in wood, but they offer poorer guidance and less clean results compared with dedicated wood drills. Their advantage is easier resharpening and a reduced tendency to self-feed.
