Body Drill — Twist Drill, 6 mm, 135° Tip, Double-Sided, Bright Finished, Fully Ground Shank, HSS‑G, Standard Line

The Body Drill is a double-sided Twist Drill designed for precision metalworking and bodywork applications on drilling machines.

• Double-ended Twist Drill for extended use
• HSS-G construction for precise metal holes
• 6 mm diameter with 135° tip for hard steels
• Fully ground shank ensures high runout accuracy

Outstanding cutting performance for demanding metals

The Body Drill combines a HSS‑G cutting geometry with a 135° tip angle to penetrate harder materials with reduced wander and improved centring. This combination results in clean, precise holes in legierten und unlegierten Stahl, Gusseisen, Temperguss and many non‑ferrous metals. The ground flute geometry (CNC grind) delivers sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, which is especially relevant when accuracy matters in assembly or bodywork.

Practical double-ended design reduces downtime

Thanks to its double-sided execution the Twist Drill acts like two tools in one: if one tip dulls, the drill can be reversed and the opposite cutting end used immediately. This design is particularly advantageous in production or repair environments where quick turnarounds are essential. With a 6 mm diameter and a compact overall length of 66 mm, the tool is well suited for tight spaces commonly encountered in sheet metal and body panel work.

Intended users and typical applications

This Twist Drill by MetavCUT is aimed at professionals and workshops working on metal fabrication, automotive body repairs and general metal maintenance. It is optimised for use with standard drilling machines and hand-held drills when appropriate fixturing and coolant are used. The combination of toughness and precision makes it a reliable choice for repetitive tasks where hole quality and repeatability are required.

Handling recommendations and productivity advantages

The ground HSS‑G geometry allows drilling up to 40% faster with 50% less thrust compared to conventional HSS variants under comparable conditions, which reduces operator fatigue and machine load. For best results, employ suitable cutting fluid and moderate speeds when machining harder alloys. Be aware that ground HSS can be more brittle than rolled types, so clamping and moderate feed rates help prevent breakage and extend tool life.
