Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) — 5.7 mm, 135° tip, double-sided, bright finished, HSS‑G

The Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) is a double-sided Twist Drill designed for precise drilling in metal with a 135° tip angle and a bright finished surface for reliable chip evacuation and visibility.

• Double-ended design for doubled tool life
• Fully ground HSS‑G for fast, clean metal drilling
• 135° tip for improved entry in hard materials
• Bright finished surface for corrosion resistance and visibility
• Suitable for Hand Drills and Drilling Machines

Faster, cleaner holes in demanding metal work

Engineered as a double-sided Twist Drill, this Body Drill delivers efficient performance when working with alloyed and unalloyed steels. The HSS‑G (ground High Speed Steel) geometry produces sharp cutting edges and excellent run-out accuracy, so the tool creates clean, concentric holes with reduced burr formation. For users who process tough materials, the 135° Tip reduces walking and shortens the initial penetration time, which makes setup and pilot drilling faster and more predictable.

Robust design that extends usability in workshop routines

The double-ended execution means the drill effectively provides two cutting ends in one compact shank, offering a practical redundancy: if one tip becomes dull, simply reverse the tool to use the second cutting end. The fully ground shank and CNC-style flute grinding result in consistent chip removal and less heat build-up during intermittent drilling. As a result, operators benefit from longer effective tooling life and fewer tool changes during production runs.

Tailored for metalworking and bodyshop applications

This Body Drill is intended primarily for drilling in metal—especially in thin sheet and bodywork contexts—where short, stable drills are preferred. The bright finished surface supports visibility and helps with corrosion resistance in workshop environments. When paired with appropriate cutting fluid and steady feed, the Twist Drill performs reliably in materials such as steel, cast components, non-ferrous metals and certain engineering plastics, making it a versatile choice for metal fabrication and repair tasks.

Who benefits most from this tool

Mechanics, metal fabricators and maintenance technicians who require precise, repeatable holes in sheet metal and structural components will appreciate the combination of double-sided functionality and the HSS‑G cutting geometry. The Body Drill is also suitable for users of portable Hand Drills as well as stationary Drilling Machines, offering flexibility across workshop setups without sacrificing hole quality.

FAQ

What materials is the Karosseriebohrer from MetavCUT suitable for?
The MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) is optimized for metalworking; its HSS‑G ground geometry is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast components, non-ferrous metals and certain hard plastics, delivering clean holes when used with correct speeds and cooling.

How does the double-sided design affect tool life and workflow?
With the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer double‑sided Twist Drill, each end functions as an independent cutting tip, so reversing the drill provides immediate reuse of the second edge, reducing downtime for tool changes and extending overall service life under similar wear conditions.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and large drill diameters; its form allows relatively easy sharpening and it withstands higher loads, making it well suited for tasks such as holes for rivets and thin‑sheet metal work.

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

Why are Twist Drills sharpened at the tip?
Sharpening reduces the cross edge at the drill tip, which lowers friction and required feed forces; that sharpening also improves centring of the tip in the workpiece for more accurate starts.

Can you drill wood with a Twist Drill?
A Metal Twist Drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with wood‑specific bits; the metal drill is easier to resharpen and shows less aggressive self‑feeding.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A through‑hole in solid material is frequently made with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most commonly used tool.

Is HSS or HSSE better?
The common belief that HSSE steels are categorically superior to HSS is incorrect; selection should consider working conditions to determine whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified for the specific application.
