Dormer Pramet R459 12.00 mm CARBIDE TIALN FORCE-X STEPPED SHANK LONG SERIES (X8D) DRILL

The Dormer Pramet R459 12.00 mm carbide drill is a high-performance long-series tool designed for precision hole making in metalworking. With a stepped shank and a robust carbide core, it delivers stable, accurate holes across a range of materials—from steel to aluminum and stainless steel.

Its advanced features—140° 4-facet split point, TiAlN coating, and a CTW flute with coolant feed—work together to start holes cleanly, extend tool life, and support higher cutting speeds and feeds while maintaining tight h9 hole tolerance.

• Self-centering start with 140° 4-facet split point: Ensures clean hole starts with minimal push force and reduces wandering when drilling harder materials.
• TiAlN coating for longer life: Titanium Aluminium Nitride coating increases wear resistance, boosting performance on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum even at higher speeds.
• CTW flute design with coolant feed: Optimized flute geometry and integrated coolant flow improve strength, chip evacuation, and allow higher speeds and feeds for faster hole production.

Designed for long-series use, the stepped shank provides a secure fit across compatible holders and enables deeper holes with stability. This drill delivers high-precision holes to tight tolerances (h9), reduces downtime, and helps your team achieve consistent results across a broad range of jobs—from prototype runs to high-volume production.
