Body Drill (Karosseriebohrer) — 4.1 mm, 135° Point Angle, Double‑Ended, Black Finished, HSS‑G

The Body Drill is a double‑ended Twist Drill for metalworking, engineered by MetavCUT for use in hand drills and drilling machines with a 4.1 mm diameter and a 135° point angle for reliable performance in hard materials.

• Double‑ended design for twice the usable life
• Fully ground HSS‑G for precise, clean holes
• 135° point angle for harder steels and stainless
• Reduced feed force; up to 40% faster drilling

Faster, more efficient metalworking with precise cutting geometry

The fully ground HSS‑G geometry delivers consistently sharp cutting edges and excellent runout accuracy, so drilling into alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel and Non‑Ferrous Metals becomes more efficient. The 135° point angle reduces entry forces and improves centring in hard materials; as a result, users benefit from faster penetration and less tool wandering when compared to standard point geometries.

Double‑ended design reduces downtime and cost per hole

A double‑ended or double‑sided layout means each tool offers two functional tips, effectively providing two drills in one and cutting replacement frequency. When one tip dulls, the drill can be reversed for immediate reuse, which is especially practical in sheet metal and bodywork applications where short, stable drills are required. This design supports uninterrupted workflow and lowers total tooling cost.

Ideal for demanding applications and compatible machines

Designed for use with a hand drill or drilling machine, this Body Drill suits applications such as holes for rivets and thin‑sheet work, as well as machining into harder substrates. The fully ground shank and short overall length contribute to stability under higher loads, making the tool well suited for workshop and industrial environments where precise, repeatable holes are required.

Handling, cooling and best‑practice recommendations

Because ground HSS variants can be more brittle than rolled types, it is advisable to use adequate cutting fluid and moderate feed rates for sustained life. The fully ground spiral flutes ensure clean chip evacuation; combined with intermittent cooling this reduces thermal stress and prolongs tip life. For optimal results in thicker or very hard materials, prefer stationary machines with stable clamping.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
Twist Drills such as the MetavCUT Body Drill are primarily used for machining high‑strength workpieces and larger drill diameters; their geometry makes them relatively easy to resharpen and able to withstand greater loads, which is why they are common for metalworking and bodyshop applications.

Which three drill types are there?
The three common drill categories are metal drills, wood drills and stone/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Body Drill belongs to the metal drill group and is optimised for tough, alloyed and unalloyed metals.

Can the MetavCUT Body Drill be used in wood?
The MetavCUT Body Drill (a metal‑type twist drill) can be used in Wood, but guidance and finish tend to be inferior compared with dedicated wood drills; however, they are easier to resharpen and exhibit less self‑feeding in softer materials.
