Dormer Pramet R458 3.60 mm CARBIDE TIALN FORCE-X STEPPED SHANK SHORT SERIES (X3D) DRILL DIN 6537 K

The Dormer Pramet R458 3.60 mm carbide drill is designed for engineers, machinists, tradespeople, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts who need reliable, precise holes across a range of materials. Its 140° four-facet split point self-centers the start of the cut and reduces the thrust required to begin drilling, helping you achieve accurate results from the first entry.

Built for durability, this drill uses a TiAlN coating to extend tool life and improve performance when drilling harder materials. The CTW flute design adds strength and enables higher cutting speeds and feeds, delivering consistent, high-quality holes in steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. The R458 is a premium carbide drill with a short X3D stepped shank (DIN 6537 K), ready for demanding production and precision work.

• Self-centering 140° four-facet split point: Starts cleanly and reduces thrust, improving hole accuracy and minimizing wandering at entry.
• TiAlN coating for longer life: Extends tool life and enhances performance when drilling harder materials by reducing wear and heat buildup.
• CTW flute design for strength and speed: Increases flute strength and enables higher cutting speeds and feeds for faster, more consistent hole quality.

With its 3.60 mm diameter and DIN 6537 K shank, this drill fits standard tooling setups while delivering repeatable results. The combination of premium carbide, TiAlN coating, and engineered geometry means you can drill a variety of metals—steel, aluminium, and stainless—faster and with tighter tolerances (H9), reducing downtime and boosting production efficiency.
