Body Drill Karosseriebohrer — Double-Sided HSS-G, Ø 5 mm, 135°

The Body Drill is a double-ended twist drill designed for precision metalworking and sheet‑metal applications with a bright finish and fully ground geometry.

• Double‑ended design for two usable tips
• HSS‑G for high precision in hard materials
• Fully ground shank for improved runout accuracy
• 135° point angle suited for tougher steels
• Compact length ideal for rivet and sheet‑metal holes

Faster throughput with a ground HSS design

The HSS‑G material combined with a fully ground geometry yields notably sharper cutting edges and consistent concentricity, which directly improves hole quality. This construction allows more reliable penetration in alloyed and unalloyed steels while producing clean, burr‑reduced holes. The result is higher process reliability and less rework in series production or repair tasks, making the tool highly beneficial for professional metalworkers and bodyshop technicians.

Lower effort thanks to optimized cutting geometry

A double‑sided configuration offers practical redundancy: when one tip dulls, the drill can be reversed to use the second cutting end, effectively providing two serviceable tips in a short, stable body. The ground geometry reduces required thrust and improves chip evacuation; in practice this can lead to noticeably faster drilling and reduced operator fatigue, especially when machining thicker or tougher materials on a Drilling Machine.

Built for demanding materials and precise centring

The 135° point angle is chosen to reduce chipping and improve centring in harder workpieces such as stainless steel and temperguss. This angle diminishes initial bite while improving guidance into the workpiece, which is advantageous for accurate spot drilling and finishing holes in cast and sintered materials. For best life expectancy, use with appropriate cooling and avoid aggressive hammering; the geometry trades some toughness for cutting precision, so stationary or well‑supported drilling is recommended.

Practical application, maintenance and compatibility

As a compact Body Drill with Ø 5 mm and 62 mm total length, the tool is tailored to sheet‑metal, panel repair and rivet preparation where short, stable drills perform better than long, flexible ones. Compatibility with standard hand and benchtop drilling machines makes it versatile in workshop environments. If refurbishment is needed, the ground helical flutes permit straightforward resharpening; note that ground HSS drills may be more brittle than rolled types and benefit from controlled cutting parameters.
