Description
The Dormer Pramet A201 8.00 mm x 2.50 mm centre drill is a high-performance HSS tool designed to create precise center holes on shafts and round stock. With a 122-degree pilot and a 60-degree cone (Form A), it provides a true starting point for secure holding and accurate subsequent drilling, making setup quicker on both lathes and milling machines.
The bright finish helps prevent workpiece material from sticking to the cutting edge, reducing friction and extending tool life. The drill is double-ended, giving you two usable cutting ends for increased productivity and economy. It is built from premium HSS and is suitable for drilling a range of materials on CNC and conventional machines.
- Double-ended design for productivity: Two cutting ends provide longer tool life and fewer tool changes, helping you complete more holes per tool and reduce downtime.
- Precise centering with 122° pilot and 60° cone: The 122-degree pilot starts the hole cleanly, while the 60-degree conical point establishes a true center for accurate, stable holding.
- Premium HSS with bright finish for versatility: Resilient high-speed steel handles a variety of materials—from steel to aluminium and stainless—while the bright finish reduces sticking and promotes smooth cutting in CNC and conventional machines.
With this centre drill in your toolkit, you gain reliable centering that improves hole quality, speeds up setup, and reduces rework. The dual ends cut more efficiently, and the robust HSS core ensures consistent performance across applications, delivering dependable results in workshops, job shops, and production environments.
