Dormer Pramet R457 18.00 mm CARBIDE TIALN FORCE-X STEPPED SHANK COOLANT FEED SHORT SERIES (X3D) DRILL DIN 6537 K

The Dormer Pramet R457 18.00 mm carbide drill is a high‑performance cutting tool designed for reliable, precise holes in steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. With a DIN 6537 K shank and a Force‑X stepped shank, this short‑series drill is built for demanding shop floors and precise, repeatable results.

Its 140‑degree, four‑facet split point centers itself on entry and reduces push force, helping you start holes cleanly with less wander. A Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coating extends tool life and boosts performance on harder materials, while the special flute design with coolant feed adds strength and supports higher cutting speeds and feeds.

• Self-centering 140° four‑facet split point: minimizes wandering on entry and lowers the push force required for a clean, accurate start.
• Titanium Aluminium Nitride coating: enhances wear resistance and life, delivering longer service intervals and better performance on tougher materials.
• Special flute design with coolant feed: increases rigidity and allows higher speeds and feeds for faster, more dependable hole production.

Designed for versatility and reliability, the R457 delivers high‑quality, accurate holes even at elevated speeds and feeds (h9 hole tolerance). Its premium carbide composition and robust geometry make it suitable for a wide range of materials and applications, helping you reduce tool changes, minimize rework, and maintain consistent results across demanding projects.
