Dormer Pramet A976 2.90 mm HSS-E HIGH PERF MULT-APP STRAIGHT SHANK EXTRA LONG SERIES (1) DRILL DIN 1869 / 1

Precision deep-hole drilling meets durable, versatile performance with the Dormer Pramet A976 2.90 mm HSS-E High-Performance Multi-App Straight Shank Extra Long Series drill. This compact, yet capable drill bit is engineered for multi-material work and extended reach, delivering reliable starts, clean holes, and consistent accuracy in demanding applications.

• 130-degree point for self-centering and reduced pull – The precise point geometry helps the bit find its mark quickly, minimizing wandering and making starting holes easier even in tough metals.
• Bright finish minimizes built-up edge – The polished cutting edge resists material adhesion, reducing clogging and extending edge life when drilling both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.
• Parabolic flute design for deep holes – Engineered to carry chips efficiently, enabling very deep holes to be drilled in a single pass with steady performance and less frequent clogging.
• Premium HSS-E material – An enhanced high-speed steel formulation that balances hardness and toughness, suitable for drilling steel, aluminium, and stainless steel with reliable results.
• Extra-long length and straight shank – Specifically chosen for applications requiring increased reach, long through-holes, and access to recessed or hard-to-reach features while maintaining rigidity.
• DIN 1869 / 1 compliance – Manufactured to DIN 1869 / 1 standards to ensure dependable interchangeability with compatible holders and tooling setups.

Ideal for machine shops and fabrication environments where precision and depth matter, this drill is a practical choice for automotive components, hydraulic blocks, mold work, and long-pocket drilling tasks. It’s also a solid option for DIY enthusiasts tackling thick materials or projects that demand a clean, true hole with minimal deflection.

Practical tips for best results: operate at appropriate cutting speeds for the material, apply light to moderate lubrication to reduce heat, and advance in measured, incremental passes for deep holes to maintain hole straightness and chip evacuation. Keep the drill sharp and clean, store in a dry, protective sleeve, and inspect for wear before critical jobs to ensure consistent performance.

Equip your toolbox with the Dormer Pramet A976 2.90 mm HSS-E High-Performance Multi-App Straight Shank Extra Long Series drill and experience dependable deep-hole drilling with a single, clean pass. The combination of a precise 130-degree point, parabolic flute, and extended reach makes it a standout choice for challenging drilling corridors.
