Body Drill — MetavCUT Profi Line double-ended HSS‑G, 4.2 mm, 135° tip, black finished without margin

A Body Drill double-ended Twist Drill designed for metalworking on a Drilling Machine, offering a 4.2 mm diameter and a 135° tip for hard materials.

• MetavCUT Profi Line double-ended design
• 4.2 mm diameter ideal for precise metal holes
• 135° tip for harder materials like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• Black finished without margin for wear resistance

Faster, cleaner metal drilling thanks to ground HSS geometry

The HSS‑G construction of this Twist Drill delivers significantly improved cutting performance compared with rolled drills. Because the flute geometry is produced by CNC grinding, the Body Drill shows very sharp cutting edges and high roundness, which translates into cleaner holes and reduced rework. For the user this means faster progress during series work and less manual finishing. The fully ground design also reduces the required feed force, helping to minimize operator fatigue during repetitive drilling tasks.

Robust double‑ended design for sheet metal and bodywork

The double‑ended (doppelseitig) layout makes this drill especially practical in workshop environments: when one tip becomes dull it is simply turned and the second tip is used, effectively providing two ready‑to‑use ends in one tool. This short, sturdy Twist Drill is therefore well suited for thin sheet and rivet hole applications in automotive and metal‑fabrication contexts, where stability and repeatability matter more than long penetration depths.

Geometry tuned for hard materials and precise centring

A 135° tip reduces walking and improves centring on harder materials such as stainless steel and tool steels. The relatively large tip angle shortens the initial penetration phase and spreads cutting forces more evenly, which supports accurate hole placement. With a flute length of 13 mm and a total length of 55 mm, the tool is optimized for shallow to medium depth holes where precision rather than long reach is the priority.

Designed for workshop drills with guidance for safe use

This Twist Drill is intended for use in a Drilling Machine or suitable hand drill under controlled conditions. The fully ground shank ensures excellent runout accuracy when clamped in a good chuck. Because ground HSS tools can be more brittle than rolled equivalents, it is recommended to use moderate speeds, appropriate lubrication or cooling for steel, and to avoid heavy shock loads. When used correctly, the tool performs reliably in alloyed and unalloyed steels, cast materials, non‑ferrous metals and certain hard plastics.

Who benefits most from this Profi Line Body Drill

The MetavCUT Profi Line Body Drill is targeted at professional workshops, bodyshops and maintenance departments that require a compact, dependable drill for metalworking tasks. Its double‑ended convenience and precise grind make it especially useful where downtime must be minimised and hole quality is critical.

FAQ

Can the MetavCUT Body Drill be used on stainless steel and other hard metals?
The MetavCUT Body Drill, a double‑ended Twist Drill, is suitable for harder materials; the 135° tip and HSS‑G geometry improve centring and wear resistance when drilling stainless steel and alloyed steels, provided appropriate speeds and cooling are used.

Is this Body Drill suitable for portable hand drills?
The Body Drill is designed for use in a Drilling Machine and can be used in robust portable hand drills, but for best results use a well‑maintained chuck and moderate speeds; the fully ground shank benefits stability and runout accuracy.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; its form is relatively easy to re‑grind and withstands higher loads, making it common in bodywork and thin‑sheet drilling.

Which three drill types are there?
The main categories are Metal Drills, Wood Drills and Masonry/Concrete Drills.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
Pointing reduces the cross‑cut at the tip of a Twist Drill, significantly lowering friction and thus the required feed force; it also improves centring of the tip in the workpiece.

Can a metal Twist Drill be used for wood?
A Metal Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is poorer and the hole finish is usually less clean; metal drills are easier to re‑grind and show less self‑feeding compared with dedicated wood drills.

For which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most used?
Twist Drills are the standard tool for solid drilling; they are most common for diameters up to around 20 mm and drilling depths up to about 100 mm.
