Dormer Pramet A940 7.20 mm HSS-E HIGH PERF MULT-APP STRAIGHT SHANK LONG SERIES DRILL DIN/ANSI

Dormer Pramet A940 7.20 mm HSS-E Long Series Drill is the precision workhorse you reach for when deep, clean holes matter as much as speed. This long-series, straight-shank PFX drill is built to DIN/ANSI standards, delivering consistent performance from first entry to the deepest 10xD hole in steel, stainless steel, or even challenging alloys. The 130° point geometry guides self-centering starts and reduces the push force at entry, helping you avoid wandering on tough workpieces. Key features that differentiate this A940 drill in real-world shop use: - 130° point for self-centering and easier entry, minimizing drift when starting a hole in hard metals. - Parabolic web (flute) design and quick-spiral geometry optimize chip evacuation, enabling extra-deep holes in a single pass and reducing pecking cycles. - Bright finish to minimize built-up edge and prevent workpiece material from sticking to the cutting edge—especially valuable when drilling aluminum and stainless steel. - Premium HSS-E (cobalt-based) alloy for superior wear resistance across a broad material range, including steel, stainless steel, and super-alloys. ready for high-speed, high-feed applications. - Long-series geometry with a straight shank, designed for reliable chuck compatibility and 10xD drilling capability without pecking, ideal for through-holes or deep cavities. - H10 hole tolerance performance at high speeds and feeds, ensuring high-quality, repeatable hole sizes even under demanding production conditions. Who benefits most - Machinists and toolroom technicians solving precision deep-hole challenges in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum components. - Fabrication shops aiming to minimize cycle times on through-holes and reduce tool changes by relying on a single, versatile long-series drill. - Customers needing DIN/ANSI-compliant tooling with a proven long-reach profile for 10xD capabilities in a single pass. Practical notes to maximize performance - Diameter and reach are optimized for 7.20 mm holes with a flute length of about 102 mm and an overall length near 156 mm, giving you substantial reach without sacrificing rigidity. - The combination of HSS-E with a bright finish and a 130° point is specifically chosen to balance wear resistance, self-centering action, and ease of starting the hole across common metals. - Expect high-quality, repeatable holes at higher speeds and feeds (H10 tolerance) when used in appropriate machine setups, with the added benefit of reduced chip buildup thanks to the parabolic flute design.
