Karosseriebohrer — Body Drill, 6.5 mm, 135° tip, double sided, Bright Finished, HSS‑G, Fully Ground Shank

The Karosseriebohrer is a double sided Body Drill designed for Drilling Machine applications, delivering precise metal drilling with a 135° tip and a Fully Ground HSS‑G geometry for tough materials.

• Double-ended design for twice the usable life
• HSS‑G ground geometry for precise metal drilling
• 135° tip for harder materials such as stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for improved runout accuracy
• Bright finish for corrosion resistance and visual inspection

Exceptional Material Performance and Cutting Efficiency

The Karosseriebohrer from MetavCUT combines a HSS‑G composition with CNC grinding to produce extremely sharp Cutting Edges and a consistent Spiral Geometry. This Ground Manufacturing method yields high Roundness Accuracy and clean, burr‑reduced holes in metals. The optimized geometry enables up to 40% faster drilling and requires up to 50% less thrust compared with conventional HSS variants, which directly reduces operator fatigue and cycle times in production environments.

Built for Harder Materials and Reliable Hole Entry

A 135° Tip Angle reduces walking and improves centring when working with tougher substrates like Stainless Steel, Cast Steel and other alloyed Steels. The double ended layout makes the Tool inherently more compact and stable, a design often favoured in bodywork and Sheet Metal operations where short, accurate holes are critical. Because the Bit can be reversed when one end dulls, downtime for tool changes is minimized while precision remains high.

Precision Features That Support Workshop Standards

The Fully Ground Shank and Bright Finished surface support consistent Tool Runout and easy visual inspection. Ground Flute Geometry creates clean chip evacuation and precise chip formation, resulting in smoother hole walls and less rework. Note that Ground HSS grades can be more brittle than rolled equivalents, so cooling and sensible feed rates are recommended for station‑type drilling and high‑duty cycles to extend Tool Life.

Practical Application, Handling and Suitability

This Body Drill is intended for Drilling Machine usage across a range of metals including unalloyed and alloyed Steel, Cast Iron variants and Non‑Ferrous Metals, as well as Hard Plastics. The double‑ended Twist Drill design is particularly suitable for workshop and industrial settings where short, precise holes are required and quick tool rotation between ends increases uptime. For hand tool operations, ensure compatible chucks and take appropriate safety measures.

FAQ

What is the best application for the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill by MetavCUT?
The Karosseriebohrer Body Drill from MetavCUT is primarily used for precise metalwork, especially where short, accurate holes are required in Sheet Metal and Bodywork components; its double‑ended Twist Drill design and HSS‑G grinding make it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Iron, Non‑Ferrous Metals and Hard Plastics.

Can the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill by MetavCUT be used in hand drills?
Although the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill by MetavCUT is optimised for Drilling Machine applications, it can be used in appropriately rated Hand Drills if the chuck and operational parameters match the Tool requirements; for best results and safety, check recommended speeds and cooling.

For what are Twist Drills used?
A Twist Drill such as the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill by MetavCUT is mainly applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; the shape is easy to regrind and stands up to higher loads, making it a common choice for robust metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
Typical categories include Metal Drill, Wood Drill and Stone/Concrete Drill; the Karosseriebohrer by MetavCUT belongs to the Metal Drill family and is designed for demanding metal applications.

Why are Twist Drills point‑sharpened?
Point sharpening reduces the cross‑edge at the tip of a Twist Drill; for the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill by MetavCUT this lowers friction, reduces required feed force and improves centring, leading to cleaner holes and more controlled drilling.

Can a Metal Drill be used for wood?
A Metal Drill such as the Karosseriebohrer by MetavCUT can be used in Wood, but it typically offers poorer guidance and a less clean finish than a dedicated Wood Drill; regrindability and lower self‑feed may be advantageous for specific tasks.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most used?
The Twist Drill design is commonly used for through‑holes and solid drilling; for diameters up to around 20 mm and depths up to approximately 100 mm a Twist Drill like the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill by MetavCUT is often the preferred tool.

Is HSS or HSSE better for my application?
The general belief that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not universally correct; evaluate whether the working conditions for the Karosseriebohrer Body Drill by MetavCUT require the additional cost of HSSE, considering cutting speed, material and coolant use before deciding.
