Body Drill (Twist Drill) by MetavCUT — HSS‑G double sided, Ø 8 mm, 135°, black finished without margin, fully ground shank, total length 79 mm, spiral length 20 mm

The Body Drill (Twist Drill) is a double‑ended HSS‑G metalworking drill designed for precision holes in alloyed and unalloyed steels using a Drilling Machine.

• Double‑ended design for two usable tips
• CNC‑ground geometry for precise, clean holes
• 135° tip angle for hard metals like stainless steel
• Fully ground shank for high runout accuracy

High performance drilling for demanding metalwork

Designed for professionals, this HSS‑G Twist Drill delivers reliable performance when accuracy counts. The CNC‑ground flute geometry produces sharp cutting edges and reduces required feed force by up to 50% compared with conventional HSS types, which allows faster penetration and less operator fatigue. The 135° tip angle shortens start time on hard materials and improves centring on tough surfaces, making it particularly suitable for alloyed steel and cast materials.

Durable design that keeps downtime low

A short, double‑ended configuration provides practical resilience: if one end dulls, the bit can be reversed and reused, effectively offering two cutting tips in one tool. The fully ground shank enhances concentricity and reduces runout, resulting in cleaner holes and less rework. For stationary machining or cooled drilling cycles the construction offers consistent edge life, while the black finished surface improves corrosion resistance during storage.

Practical guidance for application and tool choice

This Twist Drill is optimised for metal applications such as thin sheet, rivet holes and small component bores, and it pairs best with a stable Drilling Machine at appropriate speeds and coolant. For hand‑held drills, ensure a secure chuck and controlled feed as the ground geometry is sharper and can be more brittle than rolled types. Use cutting fluid for prolonged tool life when working with stainless or tempered steels to avoid premature wear.

Who benefits from this tool and how to use it safely

Machinists, bodywork specialists and metal fabricators benefit most from this bit’s combination of precision and serviceability. The double‑ended design suits repetitive shop tasks where quick tip rotation reduces tool change time. When drilling, start with a light pilot feed to improve centring; the larger point angle reduces walking on hard surfaces. Follow standard safety and cooling practices to mitigate brittleness risk and extend cutting life.

FAQ

What is a Twist Drill used for?
The MetavCUT Body Drill (Twist Drill) is primarily applied to the machining of high‑strength materials and larger hole diameters; its shape allows easy resharpening and it withstands greater loads, making it suitable for alloyed and unalloyed steel, cast steel and hard plastics.

Which three drill types exist?
The three main drill types are metal drills, wood drills and masonry/concrete drills; the MetavCUT Body Drill belongs to the metal drill category optimised for metalworking.

Why are Twist Drills pointed?
The point sharpening reduces the cross‑cut at the tip, lowering friction and required feed forces while improving centring in the workpiece; this is why the MetavCUT double‑ended HSS‑G bit uses a 135° point for better performance in harder materials.
