Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) — HSS-G Twist Drill, 6.5 mm Diameter, 135° Tip, Double-sided, Black Finished Without Margin

The Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) is a double-sided HSS-G Twist Drill designed for precise metalworking with a 6.5 mm diameter and a 135° tip angle for demanding sheet and body applications.

• Double-sided twist drill for two usable cutting ends
• HSS-G material for precise metal drilling
• 6.5 mm Diameter with 135° Tip Angle
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy
• Black finished without margin for corrosion resistance

Faster, more precise holes in hard metals

The HSS-G construction and 135° tip angle are chosen to reduce drilling time and minimise feed force when working with tougher materials. Because the flute geometry is produced by CNC grinding rather than rolling, the Karosseriebohrer delivers high runout accuracy and clean hole edges, which is particularly valuable when preparing parts for riveting or welding. The sharper cutting edges also help extend tool life when used with appropriate cooling on stationary machines.

Compact, double-ended design for workshop efficiency

Designed as a double-sided / double-ended Twist Drill, this bit offers practical redundancy: if one tip becomes dull, simply reverse the bit and continue using the other end. The short, stable geometry suits thin-sheet and bodywork tasks and reduces vibration in hand and drilling machines. With a fully ground shank, clamping stability is improved, supporting consistent concentricity and safer operation in portable Drilling Machines.

Where this drill performs best

This Karosseriebohrer is optimised for metal drilling: alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast materials, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics. The 6.5 mm diameter and the chosen tip geometry make it particularly effective for holes used in body and panel work, rivet preparation and general maintenance tasks. Professionals in automotive repair, sheet metal workshops and maintenance departments will benefit from reliable entry behaviour and consistent hole quality.

Handling, sharpening and application hints

Because the flute geometry is ground, the twist drill requires careful handling: avoid aggressive impact and favour cooling when machining heat-sensitive or tougher cast materials to prevent premature chipping. If a tip becomes blunt, the double-ended design allows quick reversal; resharpening is possible but should respect the original 135° geometry to retain centring and cutting performance. Use steady feed and appropriate cutting fluid for best results with the HSS-G material.

FAQ

What materials can the Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) from MetavCUT drill effectively?
The Karosseriebohrer by MetavCUT is suitable for alloyed and unalloyed Steel, Cast Steel, Gusseisen, sintered materials, non-ferrous metals and hard plastics, providing clean results when used with appropriate cutting fluid and machine speeds.

Is the Karosseriebohrer suitable for use in a hand drill?
Yes, the Karosseriebohrer (Body Drill) is designed for use with Drilling Machines including hand-held units, though optimal precision and cooling are achieved on stationary machines to reduce risk of breakage.

For what is a Twist Drill used?
A Twist Drill is primarily used for machining high-strength materials and larger bore diameters; its form is easy to sharpen and withstands significant loads, making it common in bodywork and sheet-metal applications.

Which three drill types exist?
The main categories are Metal drill bits, Wood drill bits, and Stone/Concrete drill bits.

Why are Twist Drills sharpened?
Sharpening reduces the cross cutting edge at the tip, which lowers friction and required feed force while improving centring of the tip in the workpiece.

Can you use a metal drill to drill wood?
A metal drill can be used in wood, but guidance and finish are inferior compared with purpose-made wood bits; metal drill bits are easier to resharpen and generally have less self-feed.

At which drilling depths is the Twist Drill most commonly used?
A solid bore is typically made with a Twist Drill; for diameters up to 20 mm and depths up to 100 mm the Twist Drill is the most frequently used tool.

What is better, HSS or HSSE?
The general assumption that HSSE is always superior to HSS is not correct; selection should consider working conditions and whether the higher acquisition cost of HSSE is justified.
