Dormer Pramet R458 N9 CARBIDE TIALN FORCE-X STEPPED SHANK SHORT SERIES (X3D) DRILL DIN 6537 K

Introducing the Dormer Pramet R458 N9 Carbide TiAlN Force-X Stepped Shank Short Series drill (X3D), DIN 6537 K. This high-performance carbide drill is built to deliver clean, accurate holes across a range of metals, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. The 140° four-facet split point self-centers with reduced start-up thrust, and the TiAlN coating extends tool life in demanding drilling tasks.

Optimized for compact applications, the stepped shank and short body provide secure grip in standard chucks while enabling precise hole placement in tight workspaces. This drill is suitable for engineers, tradespeople, and hobbyists who require reliable performance and consistent hole quality.

• Self-centering 140° four-facet point: Starts holes cleanly with less push force, reduces walking, and improves first-hole accuracy for faster setup and drilling efficiency.
• TiAlN coating for longer life and tougher materials: Extends tool life and maintains sharpness when drilling hard steels and stainless, even at higher speeds.
• CTW flute design with stepped shank: Provides increased strength and allows higher cutting speeds and feeds while delivering secure chuck grip in compact, short-series tooling.

This drill delivers predictable performance and consistent hole quality across common metalworking tasks. The combination of premium carbide, durable coating, and precise geometry helps you reduce rework, accelerate production, and maintain reliable results from job to job, all with a DIN 6537 K shank that fits standard holders.
