Body Drill — Twist Drill for Drilling Machine, Diameter 3.1 mm, 135° Tip, HSS‑G, Double‑Sided, Black Finished

A Body Drill twist drill designed for metalworking, combining a 3.1 mm diameter and 135° tip angle for reliable performance in demanding sheet and plate applications.

• Profi Line HSS‑G for metal drilling
• Double‑sided design for extended use
• 3.1 mm diameter with 135° tip angle
• Fully ground shank for precise runout
• Black finish for improved corrosion resistance

High‑performance geometry for harder materials and faster results

The fully ground HSS‑G geometry and the 135° tip angle are optimised for tougher materials such as stainless and alloyed steels. This geometry reduces cutting forces and improves centring on metals, so the twist drill penetrates with less tendency to wander. The design yields cleaner holes and can shorten drilling time compared with conventional rolled flutes. For users requiring dependable metalworking performance, this results in fewer re‑drills and higher process efficiency.

Precision and stability from the ground shank and compact length

A fully ground shank provides superior concentricity and lower runout, which directly benefits hole quality when operated in a Drilling Machine. The compact overall length of 46 mm and the shortened flute make the tool inherently rigid, improving straightness in thin sheets and small holes. Because the ground geometry is achieved by CNC grinding, expected outcomes are consistent hole diameters and reduced burr formation, an advantage for quality‑sensitive applications.

Practical double‑sided concept for workshop productivity

The double‑sided execution means the tool serves as two cutting ends in one: when one tip wears, the twist drill can be reversed to use the other, extending service life. This doppelseitig arrangement is particularly useful in bodywork and thin‑sheet applications where short, stable drills excel. The configuration reduces downtime and keeps tool inventories lean, offering a simple efficiency gain for repair shops and metal fabricators.

Intended users and recommended working conditions

Designed by MetavCUT for metalworking professionals, the tool suits technicians, bodyshop mechanics and workshop operators who use handheld or bench Drilling Machines for rivet and thin‑plate holes. The black finished surface improves surface protection and handling visibility. For best results, use adequate cooling and moderate speeds for hardened materials; note that ground HSS‑G drills achieve high precision but may require careful handling to avoid shock or bending.

FAQ

What is a twist drill used for?
The MetavCUT Body Drill twist drill is primarily applied to machining high‑strength materials and larger drill diameters; its shape is easy to re‑grind and it withstands greater loads, making it especially suitable for sheet‑metal and bodywork holes.

Which three drill types exist?
A practical distinction is: Metal drills, Wood drills and Masonry/Concrete drills — the MetavCUT Body Drill belongs to the metal drills category and is optimised for steel and similar materials.

Can the MetavCUT Body Drill be used with a handheld drilling machine?
Yes, the Body Drill is compatible with handheld Drilling Machines for tasks in metalworking, though best hole quality is achieved with steady feeds and, when possible, a bench or column drill and appropriate cooling.

Why are twist drills sharpened at the tip?
Sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of a twist drill; by lowering friction the required feed forces decrease and the drill centres better in the workpiece, which is why the 135° tip on the MetavCUT Body Drill improves performance in harder materials.
