Dormer Pramet R458 1/2 Inch CARBIDE TIALN FORCE-X STEPPED SHANK SHORT SERIES (X3D) DRILL DIN 6537 K

The Dormer Pramet R458 drill is a 1/2 inch carbide tool designed for reliable, high-precision holemaking across steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. Its 140-degree four-facet split point helps with self-centering and reduces the push force required, delivering clean starts from the first cut.

Designed to fit DIN 6537 K standards with a short FORCE-X stepped shank, this drill offers stable alignment in compact setups and minimizes runout in demanding applications. The Titanium Aluminium Nitride coating extends tool life and improves performance when drilling harder materials, while the CTW flute design adds strength and supports higher cutting speeds and feeds. Crafted from premium carbide, it handles a range of metals with consistent results and delivers high-quality holes even at high speeds and feeds (h9 tolerance).

• Self-centering 140° four-facet tip: Reduces wandering and start-up push, helping you achieve clean holes from the first cut.
• TiAlN coating for longer life: Extends drill life and improves performance when drilling harder materials, reducing tool changes and downtime.
• CTW flute design with premium carbide: Increases strength and enables higher cutting speeds and feeds for faster, more consistent hole production across materials.

This drill is built for reliable, repeatable results in a range of applications. Its combination of a self-centering point, durable TiAlN coating, and robust flute design delivers precise holes with tight tolerances (h9) while maintaining performance at higher speeds—making it a dependable choice for production, maintenance, and hobbyist projects alike.
