Dormer Pramet A976 2.50 mm HSS-E HIGH PERF MULT-APP STRAIGHT SHANK EXTRA LONG SERIES (1) DRILL DIN 1869 / 1

Dormer Pramet A976 2.50 mm HSS-E High Performance Multi-Application Straight Shank Extra Long Series Drill (DIN 1869) is built for precision, reach, and versatility in metalworking. This compact, high-precision drill is designed to tackle deep holes with confidence, delivering clean, accurate results across a range of materials.

• 130-degree point for effortless self-centering and reduced push force—helping you start holes where you intend and maintain true alignment through the cut.
• Bright, chip-release finish minimizes material adhesion to the cutting edge, improving chip evacuation and reducing sticking that can impede progress.
• Parabolic flute design engineered to drill very deep holes in a single pass, enhancing chip clearance and reducing drilling time in demanding applications.
• Premium HSS-E material delivers dependable performance across a variety of metals, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, while maintaining edge stability and long service life.
• Extra-long length series provides increased reach for deep holes, recesses, and hard-to-access workpieces without compromising rigidity or accuracy.
• Straight shank compatible with standard 1/4-inch or metric collets and chucks, making it a practical choice for drill presses and CNC machines alike.

Ideal for workshops and engineers who regularly need to drill deep holes in steel frames, machinery housings, or metal assemblies, this drill shines where standard-length bits struggle. The DIN 1869 specification ensures compatibility with compatible tools and fixtures, giving you predictable performance in busy production environments.

Use cases and practical tips to get the most from the A976 drill:

• For deep-hole tasks, pair the drill with a rigid setup—prefer a drill press or CNC machine to minimize deflection and maintain straightness over long depths.
• Start at a conservative feed rate and gradually increase as the tool bites deeper, keeping the material well-lubricated to reduce heat and wear.
• Use cutting fluid or light oil when drilling stainless steel or harder alloys to extend tool life and achieve smoother finishes.
• Withdraw the bit periodically during long passes to clear chips and prevent recutting, which can dull the edge or jam the flute.
• Measure hole depth carefully and rely on the extra-long reach to target precise depths without frequent tool changes.

Invest in the Dormer Pramet A976 2.50 mm drill to achieve dependable accuracy, extended reach, and multi-material capability in a single, robust tool. It’s the reliable choice for demanding deep-hole drilling tasks where precision and efficiency matter most.
