The Dormer Pramet A242 centre drill is a long-series, two-ended tool designed to create precise centre holes in shafts and ensure secure workholding. It’s ideal for machinists and workshops that demand reliable centering in metalworking tasks.

  • Size & geometry: 1.50 mm diameter with a 118° pilot and 60° cone, optimized for accurate centre holes in shafts.
  • Double-ended design: Two drilling ends extend tool life and reduce downtime by allowing a quick flip for continued use.
  • Material: Premium HSS-E (high-speed steel) for enhanced wear resistance across steel, aluminium, and stainless steel.
  • Finish: Bright finish minimizes sticking to the cutting edge, promoting smoother entry and cleaner holes.
  • Length & reach: Long-series construction provides increased reach for deeper bores and tight workspaces.
  • Applications: Specifically designed for creating centre holes in shafts to enable secure tailstock holding and accurate centering in a range of metals.

The 60° cone seats the workpiece securely while the 118° pilot guides entry, delivering true centering and reducing runout in subsequent drilling or turning operations. Whether prepping a shaft for a live center, aligning components on a lathe, or establishing through-hole features, the A242 delivers dependable performance with every use.
