Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — MetavCUT HSS-G, 3.3 mm, 135° double-sided, black finished, fully ground shaft

Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) is a double-ended HSS-G Twist Drill designed for precision metal drilling in demanding applications, combining a 3.3 mm diameter and 135° point angle for reliable results in hard materials.

• Double-ended design for extended tool life
• HSS-G fully ground for precise metal holes
• 3.3 mm diameter with 135° point for tough steels
• Short robust shank for stable drilling
• Black finished without margin for minimal burrs

Faster, cleaner holes thanks to precision ground HSS-G

Because the HSS-G geometry is produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling, the drill achieves very sharp cutting edges and high run-out accuracy. This results in cleaner holes and improved surface quality when working with Steel, Cast Iron or Non-Ferrous Metals. For workshop environments where repeatable precision matters, the fully ground shank helps reduce vibration and ensures consistent centring when used with a hand or bench Drilling Machine.

Double-ended design reduces downtime and material waste

A double-sided configuration makes this Twist Drill effectively "two tools in one": if one tip becomes blunt, the part can be reversed to use the other end. This feature is particularly advantageous in sheetmetal and bodywork applications where quick tool changes are costly. Users benefit from longer service intervals and fewer interrupted jobs, while the short, robust form offers higher stability for drilling holes for rivets and thin-sheet fastenings.

Optimised geometry for hard materials and reduced feed effort

The 135° point angle is chosen specifically for harder materials, improving the initial penetration and increasing tool life under elevated loads. The specially ground geometry allows up to 40% faster drilling and requires about 50% less thrust compared with conventional HSS drills, making operations less strenuous and more efficient. For tasks requiring accurate centring and reduced burr formation, this Body Drill offers tangible productivity gains.

Who benefits most — versatile use in metalworking

This drill is aimed at professionals and serious hobbyists in Automotive, Fabrication and Repair workshops who need a compact, reliable Twist Drill for metal operations. The 3.3 mm diameter and 46 mm overall length make it suitable for common fastening and hole-preparation tasks in alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials and engineering plastics. The black finished surface reduces adhesion of chips and helps maintain cutting performance in repeated cycles.

FAQ

What is the MetavCUT Body Drill (Twist Drill) mainly used for?
The MetavCUT Body Drill (Twist Drill) is primarily applied to machining high-strength materials and larger drill diameters; its design is suited for operations in Alloyed and Unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Cast Iron and Hard Plastics, where durability and precise holes are required.

Which three drill types should be known for general work?
For most workshops, the three basic drill categories are Metal Drills (like the MetavCUT Body Drill), Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills; each type is optimised in geometry and material for its intended substrate.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened?
Twist Drills are sharpened to reduce the cross-edge at the tip, which lowers friction and therefore reduces the required feed force; sharpening also improves centring and cutting efficiency so the MetavCUT Body Drill penetrates more easily and produces cleaner holes.

Can you use a metal Twist Drill in wood?
A Metal Twist Drill such as the MetavCUT Body Drill can be used in wood, but steering is less precise and the finish may be rougher; these drills are easier to re-sharpen and show less aggressive self-feed than specialised wood bits.

For which hole depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A through-hole in solid material is typically made with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to about 20 mm and hole depths up to roughly 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool in metalworking and maintenance tasks.

Is HSS or HSSE better for workshop drills?
The common belief that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not universally valid; when selecting a drill—for example the MetavCUT Body Drill in HSS-G—you should consider specific working conditions to decide whether the higher cost of HSSE is justified.
