Dormer Pramet A976 9.50 mm HSS-E HIGH PERF MULT-APP STRAIGHT SHANK EXTRA LONG SERIES (1) DRILL DIN 1869 / 1

Dormer Pramet A976 9.50 mm HSS-E High-Performance Multi-Application Straight Shank Extra-Long Drill DIN 1869 is engineered to tackle demanding deep-hole work with precision and reliability. This is a single, purpose-built drill designed to perform across a range of materials and applications, delivering consistent results from the first hole to the last.

130° point for true starts and reduced entry force — The dedicated point geometry ensures self-centering every time you begin a cut, minimizing wander and reducing the push force required to start drilling. That means smoother starts, cleaner holes, and less operator fatigue in long machining cycles.

Bright finish reduces chip welding and adhesion — The bright, robust coating helps minimize material sticking to the cutting edge, which translates to fewer interruptions for clearing chips and a cleaner bore diameter, even on tricky alloys.

Parabolic flute design for deep-hole efficiency — The specially shaped parabolic flutes effectively evacuate chips during aggressive drilling, enabling deeper holes in a single pass. This design supports stable feeds, reduces heat buildup, and minimizes the need for intermittent drilling or pecking in long workpieces.

Premium HSS-E for versatile, durable performance — Made from cobalt-enriched high-speed steel, this drill combines hardness and toughness to cut through steel, stainless steel, and even aluminum with reliability. The material choice helps resist wear in tough jobs and extends tool life in demanding environments.

Extra-long length for reach and accessibility — Designed for applications where depth and reach matter, this drill delivers extended access into deep bores, pockets, or behind obstructions without sacrificing cutting performance or straightness. The straight shank and DIN 1869 compatibility ensure a secure grip in standard chucks and holders.

Typical use cases include deep-hole drilling in automotive components, aerospace hardware, steel fabrication, mold and die work, and structural metal assemblies where long reach and precise, clean holes are essential. The A976 drill stands out when you need one robust solution that can handle multiple materials and long holes without changing tools mid-task.

Why choose this Dormer Pramet drill — You’re getting a purpose-built, multi-application drill that combines a focused starting geometry, a chip-clearing flute design, and a durable HSS-E body into a single, reliable tool. It’s ideal for shops that require consistent hole quality across a variety of materials and long-reach drilling jobs, without the downtime of changing tools for different materials.
