Dormer Pramet R454 18.00 mm CARBIDE TIALN FORCE-X STEPPED SHANK STANDARD SERIES (X5D) DRILL DIN 6537 L

The Dormer Pramet R454 18.00 mm carbide drill is designed for reliable, high-quality holemaking across a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. Suitable for engineers, buyers, tradespeople, hobbyists, and production environments, it combines a 140-degree four-facet split point with a TiAlN coating to start holes accurately while resisting wear.

Engineered for demanding work, this drill features a Force-X stepped shank and a CTW flute design that deliver added strength, stability, and the ability to run at higher cutting speeds and feeds. Built from premium carbide, it maintains sharpness through tough cuts and delivers consistent results with tight tolerances (H9) on drilled holes. The DIN 6537 L shank ensures compatibility with standard machines and tooling setups.

• Self-centering 140° four-facet split point: Starts holes precisely with less push force, reducing wandering and improving first-pass accuracy across a variety of materials.
• TiAlN coating for longer life: Enhances wear resistance and durability, extending tool life and maintaining sharpness when drilling harder alloys and stainless steels.
• CTW flute design + Force-X stepped shank: Provides greater rigidity and stability, enabling higher speeds and feeds for faster, cleaner holes with reduced vibration.

This high-performance 18 mm carbide drill is a reliable choice for production runs or precision projects, helping you achieve repeatable hole quality, reduce rework, and maintain efficient workflows in both workshop and shop-floor environments.
