Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — Twist Drill, Double-Sided, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, Fully Ground Shank, Ø 5.4 mm, 135°

The Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) is a double-sided Twist Drill designed for metalworking with a Drilling Machine, optimised for precise sheet‑metal and rivet hole applications.

• Double-sided design for two usable ends
• HSS‑G for precise, clean holes in metal
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• 135° point angle suited for harder materials
• Bright finished surface for smooth chip evacuation

High precision and efficient metal cutting for professional results

The HSS‑G material and fully ground geometry deliver higher sharpness and improved roundness compared with rolled drills. This means the Body Drill produces clean, precise holes in a range of metals while requiring less corrective work afterwards. The ground flutes ensure consistent chip removal and a stable cutting edge, which is especially beneficial when working with alloyed or unalloyed Steel and Cast Iron.

Two usable ends and shorter, robust design for bodywork

A double‑sided construction gives the practical advantage of two cutting tips in one tool, making it ideal for tight workshops and repetitive tasks on thin sheets. The shorter, stable profile reduces flex during drilling in thin materials common to automotive bodywork, allowing quick reversal to the second tip when one side dulls and supporting continuous production without frequent tool changes.

Match the drill geometry to the task for longer tool life

The 135° point angle is chosen for drilling harder workpieces such as Stainless Steel and tempered materials; a larger point angle reduces initial dwell and improves centring on tough surfaces. For best results use a steady feed, appropriate cutting fluid and moderate speeds with a Drilling Machine. The term Twist Drill refers to the spiral‑fluted design that removes material as it cuts; here it means efficient evacuation of chips and stable penetration into metal.

Who benefits from this Body Drill and when to use it

Workshops, vehicle body repair shops and maintenance technicians gain most from this tool: it is designed for metal drilling, especially where rivet holes or precise through‑holes are required. The combination of HSS‑G and a bright finish suits users who prioritise dimensional accuracy and clean hole quality, while the double‑ended layout keeps inventory compact and economical for everyday production tasks.

FAQ

What is the Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) by MetavCUT designed for?
The MetavCUT Body Drill (a Twist Drill for metal) is intended primarily for drilling in metals, especially for sheet‑metal and rivet holes; its HSS‑G construction and ground geometry give precise, clean boreholes in alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and certain hard plastics.

Can the MetavCUT Body Drill be used in a standard Drilling Machine?
Yes, the Body Drill is made for use with a Drilling Machine (hand drill or bench drill); to preserve tool life, use controlled speeds, appropriate coolant and steady feed—especially when working in harder materials suited to the 135° point angle.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is mainly used for machining high‑strength workpieces and larger drill diameters; this shape is easy to resharpen and withstands higher loads. Its ground HSS form can deliver up to 40% faster drilling with reduced feed force compared with conventional HSS, making it well suited to metalworking and bodywork applications.

Which three drill types exist?
There are three main drill types: Metal drills, Wood drills, and Stone/Concrete drills.
