MetavCUT Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — 4.9 mm, 135° Tip, Double‑Sided, Bright Finished, HSS‑G

The MetavCUT Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) is a purpose‑built Twist Drill for metalworking, designed for use in drilling machines and suitable for precision holes in sheet and structural steels.

• Double‑Sided design for two usable tips
• HSS‑G fully ground for precise holes
• 135° tip angle for harder materials
• Bright finished surface for smooth chip evacuation
• Short, stable geometry ideal for body and sheet metal work

High performance for demanding metal drilling

The MetavCUT Body Drill is engineered for efficient metal removal: the HSS‑G material and CNC grinding process produce very sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, which enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires about 50% less feed force compared with conventional HSS drills. The 135° tip angle reduces the tendency to grab and is optimised for harder materials such as alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steels and non‑ferrous metals, delivering reliable entry and consistent hole quality.

Precision by design — why the fully ground geometry matters

A fully ground flute and shank mean the chip geometry and cutting edges are created by grinding rather than rolling. This yields excellent run‑out accuracy and clean, burr‑reduced holes in metal. Because ground HSS can be more brittle than rolled variants, best results are achieved with steady drilling speeds and appropriate cooling. The bright finished surface supports smoother chip flow and reduces heat build‑up at the cutting zone.

Optimised for metal‑working applications and workshop use

Designed primarily as a Twist Drill for metal, this tool is well suited to bodywork, thin plate and structural drilling tasks. The double‑ended execution provides two cutting tips in one: when one end dulls it can be reversed for immediate reuse, a practical advantage in production and maintenance environments. The geometry and material make the tool a good match for both stationary drilling machines and robust workshop setups where repeatability and hole quality are critical.

Practical advantages for professionals

The short, stable form factor commonly used in body and sheet metal operations improves guidance and reduces vibration during drilling, resulting in more accurate hole placement. The fully ground shank enhances clamping accuracy in chucks and collets. For users seeking durability and re‑sharpenability, the drill’s HSS‑G construction allows straightforward resharpening while maintaining a reliable cutting performance under appropriate cutting conditions.

FAQ

What applications is the MetavCUT Body Drill suitable for?
The MetavCUT Body Drill is intended as a Twist Drill for metalworking; it performs well in body and sheet metal tasks as well as when drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials and non‑ferrous metals, offering clean holes and good run‑out accuracy.

How should the MetavCUT Body Drill be used to achieve the best results?
Use the MetavCUT Body Drill at appropriate speeds for the material, apply steady feed, and employ cooling/lubrication for tougher alloys; the fully ground geometry benefits from proper clamping and steady drilling to exploit its precision advantages.

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills are mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters. Their shape allows easy regrinding, and they withstand substantial loads; they are particularly common for drilling holes in metal and thick sections.

Which three drill types exist?
The main categories are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills.
