Dormer Pramet A976 5.20 mm HSS-E HIGH PERF MULT-APP STRAIGHT SHANK EXTRA LONG SERIES (1) DRILL DIN 1869 / 1

Meet the Dormer Pramet A976 5.20 mm HSS-E High-Performance Multi-Application Straight Shank Extra Long Series drill (DIN 1869). Designed for deep-hole drilling with precision, this drill combines a purpose-built geometry with premium materials to deliver reliable performance in a range of metals.

• 130° point promotes self-centering and reduces the push force required to start holes, helping you achieve clean starts even in challenging workpieces.
• Bright finish minimizes built-up edge by preventing material from sticking to the cutting edge, resulting in smoother cuts and longer tool life.
• Parabolic flute design enables efficient chip evacuation in long holes, supporting a single-pass approach for extra-deep drilling with reduced heat build-up.
• Premium HSS-E (high-speed steel, extended performance) delivers outstanding wear resistance and toughness, suitable for drilling steel, aluminum, and stainless steel with consistent results.
• Extra-long length series provides increased reach for very deep holes and applications where access is limited, without compromising rigidity in the cut.
• DIN 1869 standard compatibility ensures dependable fit and flute geometry with standard drilling equipment for easy integration into your workflow.

This drill is ideal for professionals who routinely tackle deep-hole tasks—machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and engineers working on automotive components, hydraulic blocks, mold tooling, and heavy metal fabrication. The 5.20 mm diameter makes it a precise choice for tight tolerances and consistent hole diameters in a variety of metals.

Practical usage notes: pair with appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for each material, and consider a light lubrication or coolant when drilling steel or stainless to maximize edge life. Because the tool is an extra-long drill, ensure your drilling setup is stable to prevent deflection and maintain straight, true holes from start to finish.
