Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — 2.5 mm, 135° Tip, Double-sided, Black Finished, HSS‑G

The Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) is a double-sided Twist Drill for Drilling Machines, designed for precise metalworking with a 2.5 mm diameter and a 135° tip angle.

• Double-sided design: two usable cutting ends
• 2.5 mm diameter for precise metal holes
• 135° tip angle for harder and alloyed steels
• HSS‑G fully ground for high precision
• 43 mm overall length with 10 mm flute

Faster, more accurate metal drilling for demanding jobs

The MetavCUT Body Drill delivers a clear performance advantage when machining metals. Thanks to the HSS‑G (fully ground High Speed Steel) construction, the twist drill offers very sharp cutting edges and improved runout accuracy, which produces cleaner bores. For users working with alloyed and unalloyed steels or cast iron, the 135° tip angle reduces wandering on hard surfaces and shortens initial penetration time, so drilling proceeds more reliably with less rework.

Double‑ended design reduces downtime and tool changes

A major practical benefit of this double‑sided twist drill is its two usable cutting ends, effectively giving two functional drill tips in one tool. This design is especially useful in workshops where rapid tool swaps interrupt workflow: when one end becomes blunt, reversing the bit restores cutting performance immediately. The compact, robust geometry typical of body drills makes them well suited for thin sheet and bonnet‑type holes found in bodywork and thin‑metal assemblies.

Clear recommendation for specific applications and users

This twist drill is tailored for professionals and advanced hobbyists who require precision in metalworking. It is particularly recommended for tasks in automotive bodywork, sheet metal fabrication and maintenance where small diameter, high‑accuracy holes are needed. Users targeting holes up to 2.5 mm and working with materials such as temper cast steels, sintered iron or hard plastics will benefit from the reduced feed force and improved centring provided by the chosen geometry.

Usage tips to maximise life and hole quality

To achieve best results with this HSS‑G Body Drill, use moderate cutting speeds and suitable coolant or lubrication when machining hard or alloyed steels; the ground geometry offers high edge sharpness but can be more brittle than rolled types. The fully ground shank ensures stable clamping and accurate concentricity in chucks, while the 10 mm flute length supports efficient chip evacuation for the 43 mm overall tool length. For stationary drilling or applications with cooling, this bit is especially effective.

FAQ

What materials can I drill with the Body Drill from MetavCUT, and when is it most effective?
The MetavCUT Body Drill (a Twist Drill) is particularly effective for alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast steel, cast iron, sintered iron, tempered castings, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics. Its HSS‑G ground geometry and 135° tip make it suitable for harder workpieces where precise centring and clean hole edges are required.

Is the double‑sided design of the MetavCUT Body Drill suitable for workshop use?
Yes, the double‑sided Body Drill by MetavCUT is ideal for workshop situations: as a double‑ended Twist Drill it provides two cutting tips in one tool, allowing quick reversal when one end dulls and reducing downtime; nevertheless, for high‑speed or very abrasive operations a stationary setup with cooling is recommended.

What are Twist Drills used for?
A Twist Drill, such as the MetavCUT Body Drill, is mainly used for machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters. This form is easy to grind and withstands greater loads, making it a common choice for demanding metalworking tasks.

Which three drill types exist?
The three common drill types are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills, with the MetavCUT Body Drill belonging to the metal drill category.
