Karosseriebohrer – Body Drill, HSS‑G, 4.9 mm, 135° tip, double‑sided, black finished, fully ground

The Karosseriebohrer Body Drill is a double‑sided Twist Drill designed for precise metal drilling with a 135° tip angle, ideal for use with a Drilling Machine.

• Short, robust double‑ended design for stable drilling
• HSS‑G fully ground for fast, precise metal cuts
• 4.9 mm diameter with 135° tip for harder materials
• Black finished surface for reduced glare and corrosion resistance

Drill faster into hardened metals with less effort

For workshop tasks demanding reliable entry into tough materials, this Twist Drill delivers consistent performance. Its HSS‑G composition and fully ground shaft geometry provide razor‑sharp cutting edges and high concentricity, which translates to cleaner holes and reduced runout. Because the tip is ground to 135°, the drill penetrates harder alloys and stainless steels with less wandering, shortening pilot operations and improving repeatability on stamped or welded components.

Designed for sustained use in metalworking environments

Stability and longevity matter when working with sheets and cast parts. The double‑sided configuration acts like two drills in one: when one end becomes dull the tool can be reversed, extending service life and reducing tool change downtime. The black finished without margin coating offers modest corrosion protection and less surface reflection during machining. The fully ground geometry means CNC‑grade flute accuracy, which enhances chip evacuation and hole quality under moderate cooling.

Optimised geometry for workshop machines and manual drills

Compatibility with a Drilling Machine and sturdy hand drill setups is a practical advantage of this Body Drill. Its short overall length and robust design suit applications such as sheet metal, bodywork and thin‑wall assemblies where controlled, repeatable holes are required. Users benefit from easier centring and reduced feed force thanks to the point geometry, making the tool especially suitable for fastening and rivet‑preparation tasks in automotive and fabrication contexts.

Who benefits and when to choose this drill

Choose this tool when working with alloyed or unalloyed steel, cast materials or hard plastics where precision and edge quality are critical. Professionals in fabrication, maintenance and vehicle body repair will find the balance of speed and control useful for repetitive, high‑quality drilling. For occasional amateur use, the reversible tip offers economical value by prolonging usable life between resharpening cycles.

FAQ

What are Twist Drills used for?
The MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer Body Drill is primarily applied when machining high‑strength materials and larger diameters; its form allows straightforward resharpening and it withstands significant loads, making it suitable for rivet and thin‑sheet holes common in bodywork.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The tip geometry of the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer Body Drill reduces the cross‑cut at the point, lowering friction forces so less feed force is needed and improving centring of the tool in the workpiece.

Can you use a Twist Drill to drill wood?
A metal Twist Drill like the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer Body Drill can be used in wood, but guidance is inferior and the hole finish is less clean; however these drills are easier to resharpen and show less self‑feeding than specialized wood bits.

At which drilling depths is a Twist Drill most commonly used?
The MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer Body Drill is typically used for through‑hole drilling in solid material; for diameters up to about 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm, the Twist Drill is the most frequent choice.

Which three drill types are there?
Metal drill, wood drill, and masonry/concrete drill are the three basic categories commonly distinguished.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
When selecting between HSS and HSSE for tools like the MetavCUT Karosseriebohrer Body Drill, note that HSSE is not universally superior; evaluate the actual working conditions to decide if the higher cost of HSSE is justified.
