Dormer Pramet R458 1/8 Inch CARBIDE TIALN FORCE-X STEPPED SHANK SHORT SERIES (X3D) DRILL DIN 6537 K

The Dormer Pramet R458 1/8 Inch Carbide Drill is a precision drilling tool built for engineers, fabricators, and serious hobbyists who need reliable, repeatable holes in metal. With a 1/8" diameter and a stepped shank in the short FORCE-X series (DIN 6537 K), it is ready for quick setup and dependable performance in demanding workflows.

Its 140° four-facet split point self-centers the start of every hole, reducing push force and helping you begin cuts cleanly. Built from premium carbide and coated with Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN), it delivers longer service life and steadier performance when drilling harder materials like steel or stainless steel. The CTW flute design adds strength, enabling higher cutting speeds and feeds while maintaining accurate hole quality across a range of metals.

• Self-centering 140° four-facet split point: Starts holes cleanly with minimal wandering and reduces push force, improving first-pass accuracy for every hole.
• TiAlN coating for longer tool life: Titanium Aluminium Nitride coating increases wear resistance and extends tool life, especially when drilling harder materials, helping maintain sharpness at higher speeds.
• CTW flute design in FORCE-X short series: The CTW flute design, paired with premium carbide, provides greater strength for high-speed, high-feed drilling and ensures consistent hole quality across steel, aluminium, and stainless steel.

This drill helps you speed up production while preserving precision, reducing downtime from dull tools and rework, and delivering reliable holes with tight tolerances (h9). It’s a dependable choice for CNC or hand-fed applications in workshops, fab shops, and on-site jobs where consistent results matter.
