Body Drill Karosseriebohrer – Double‑Sided Twist Drill, 3 mm, 135° tip, HSS‑G, Black Finish

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

• Double‑ended Twist Drill for extended use
• HSS‑G ground for precise, clean holes
• 135° tip angle for hard materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• Black finished without margin for corrosion resistance

Faster, cleaner holes in hard metals

Forged for demanding metalwork, this HSS‑G ground drill delivers quick penetration and consistently clean holes. Ground geometry produces very sharp cutting edges and excellent concentricity, which reduces vibration and improves hole quality. The 135° tip angle is optimised for tougher materials such as stainless steel and tempered alloys, shortening dwell time at the start of the hole and lowering the risk of workpiece distortion. This results in higher throughput for shop tasks where precision and repeatability matter.

Less downtime with a double‑ended design

A double‑sided configuration means the tool functions as two tips in one, so operations continue simply by flipping the drill when one end dulls. This compact, short design is particularly stable for thin sheets and rivet holes in automotive and bodywork contexts. In addition, the fact that the flute geometry is CNC‑ground rather than rolled ensures consistently sharp cutting edges, making the tool noticeably more precise for serial work and reducing the need for immediate replacements.

Reliable centring and runout‑stable performance

The fully ground shank provides superior runout accuracy compared with rolled alternatives, keeping holes concentric even at higher spindle speeds. A precise shank reduces wobble in handheld Drilling Machines and bench rigs, yielding neat, usable holes without additional rework. The black finished surface without margin offers a robust protective layer while keeping the cutting geometry intact for longer service intervals.

Ideal users and practical applications

Metalworkers, panel beaters and maintenance technicians benefit most from this Profi Line tool. It is well suited for unalloyed and alloyed steels, cast steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and hard plastics, where a short, stable bit is advantageous. Typical uses include thin‑sheet drilling, rivet hole preparation and precise through‑holes in repair and assembly situations. For deeper or very large‑diameter holes, use purpose‑designed long‑reach or stepped drills instead.

Usage tips to extend tool life

To get the best from a ground HSS‑G Twist Drill, moderate spindle speeds and steady feed rates are recommended; coolant or cutting fluid extends life and prevents overheating. Avoid side loading and abrupt axial shocks, as CNC‑ground bits can be more brittle than rolled variants. Routine inspection of cutting edges and correct clamping in a low‑runout chuck will preserve accuracy and safety during high‑volume work.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill mainly used for?
Twist Drills such as the MetavCUT Body Drill Karosseriebohrer are primarily used for machining high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters. The double‑ended, ground design is easy to sharpen, copes with greater loads and is therefore often selected for bodywork and thin‑sheet metal tasks where short, rigid bits ensure clean results.

Which three drill types are there?
The three common drill categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills, and the MetavCUT Body Drill Karosseriebohrer belongs to the metal drill group tailored for steel, cast materials and hard plastics.
