Karosseriebohrer — Body Drill, HSS‑G, 5.8 mm, 135° tip, double‑sided, bright finished by MetavCUT

The Karosseriebohrer is a double‑sided Body Drill designed for precision metalworking with handheld Drilling Machines, ideal for thin sheet and structural metal applications.

• Double‑ended design for extended tool life
• Ground HSS‑G for fast, precise metal drilling
• 5.8 mm diameter with 135° tip for harder steels
• Fully ground shank for high concentricity
• Bright finished surface for smooth chip evacuation

High performance through ground HSS geometry

The HSS‑G construction of this Body Drill delivers a sharp, consistent cutting edge that reduces cutting forces and improves drilling speed. Because the flute geometry is produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling, the result is higher Rundlaufgenauigkeit and cleaner holes in alloyed and unalloyed steels. For users working with tougher materials, the 135° point angle shortens penetration time and improves centring on stainless steels and cast materials. This engineered geometry is particularly beneficial where reproducible hole quality is required.

Practical benefits of the double‑ended design

A double‑sided, or double‑ended, configuration makes the tool exceptionally economical in workshop routines. When one tip becomes blunt, the drill can be reversed to use the other cutting end, effectively providing two usable tips in one compact Twist Drill. This format is especially useful for operations on sheet metal and bodywork where short, stable drill bits reduce vibration and improve control with a Drilling Machine.

Precision shaft and reliable handling

The fully ground shank ensures secure clamping and improved concentricity in hand drills, translating to straighter holes and reduced wobble. The bright finished surface supports smoother chip flow and reduces the risk of material build‑up on the flutes. For craftsmen and technicians who expect repeatable results when machining Nichteisenmetalle or engineering plastics, this characteristic increases process reliability and reduces rework.

Application focus and user groups

Engineered as a Body Drill for metalworking, this tool is aimed at professional metalworkers, sheet metal fabricators and maintenance technicians who require robust, short‑length bits for rivet and thin‑sheet holes. The combination of HSS‑G and a 135° tip makes it suitable for a range of materials including cast iron, sintered iron and hard plastics. For workshop environments that demand predictable tool behaviour and easy re‑use, the double‑ended format and ground finish provide a pragmatic advantage.

Safety and usage notes for best results

To maximise life and performance, use the Karosseriebohrer with adequate cooling when machining harder alloys; the ground HSS form can be more brittle than rolled variants and benefits from moderated speeds and lubrication. Secure clamping, reduced feed force and intermittent peck drilling help avoid overload. For handheld Drilling Machine operations, ensure the chuck grips the fully ground shank firmly to maintain accuracy and reduce chatter.

FAQ

What materials is the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill by MetavCUT suitable for?
The Karosseriebohrer Body Drill from MetavCUT is optimized for metalworking and performs well in alloyed and unalloyed steels, Cast Iron, Sintered Iron and hard plastics; its HSS‑G grind provides clean hole quality under appropriate speeds and cooling.

Can the Karosseriebohrer be used in a handheld drilling machine?
Yes, the Karosseriebohrer by MetavCUT is intended for use with a Drilling Machine; the fully ground shank ensures secure clamping and high concentricity in handheld setups when the chuck is tightened correctly.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is primarily applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its form is easy to grind and withstands greater loads, which makes it suitable for demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types are there?
The main categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills. Each is optimised in geometry and material for its specific application.
