Dormer Pramet A976 9.00 mm HSS-E HIGH PERF MULT-APP STRAIGHT SHANK EXTRA LONG SERIES (1) DRILL DIN 1869 / 1

The Dormer Pramet A976 9.00 mm HSS-E High Performance Multi-Application Straight Shank Drill is built for precision, reach, and versatility. Designed to tackle a wide range of materials and deep-hole applications, this drill delivers dependable performance when you need to get the job done right the first time.

Why this drill stands out

• 130-degree point for self-centering and reduced push force, helping you start holes with accuracy and less operator effort.
• Bright finish minimizes workpiece material from sticking to the cutting edge, promoting cleaner holes and smoother chip evacuation.
• Parabolic flute design engineered to drill very deep holes in a single pass, reducing the need for multiple pecking cycles and boosting productivity.
• Premium HSS-E material (high-speed steel with cobalt) offering enhanced hardness and resistance to heat, suitable for drilling steel, aluminum, and stainless steel without compromising edge retention.
• Extra-long length series provides the reach you need for deep cavities, through-holes, and applications where extended access is required—without sacrificing rigidity or cutting performance.
• DIN 1869 / 1 compliance ensures consistent geometry and reliable interchangeability with other tools in DIN-standard setups, making it a dependable choice for professional workshops.

Ideal use cases

Engineered for engineers, machinists, and fabricators who regularly drill deep holes in a variety of materials, the A976 9.00 mm drill excels in automotive components, gear housings, tool-and-die work, and general fabrication tasks where depth and precision matter. Use it for through-holes, counterbores, or any operation where you need steady cutting performance from a single, extended pass.

Practical tips for best results

• Match cutting speed and feed to the material: use moderate speeds for steel, slightly slower speeds for stainless steel, and adjust for aluminum to prevent built-up edge.
• Use ample lubrication or flood coolant to manage heat, especially during deep-hole drilling with the extra-long length.
• Start with a clean, well-centered pilot hole if the hole axis is critical, then progress with the A976 drill to maintain straightness and edge integrity.
• Ensure proper workholding to keep the workpiece stable; vibration can affect hole straightness and finish in deep holes.

When you need a reliable, all-in-one solution for deep-hole drilling with a straight-shank drill, the Dormer Pramet A976 9.00 mm HSS-E High Performance Multi-Application drill is the pragmatic choice for consistent results, material versatility, and extended reach. Add it to your toolkit and tackle demanding drilling tasks with confidence.
