When the job demands deep, precise holes in tough materials, the Dormer Pramet A976 4.60 mm HSS-E High Performance Multi-Application Straight Shank Drill is built to deliver. This single-drill solution combines speed, endurance, and reach in a tool that handles a range of materials with confidence.

Engineered with a 130-degree point, the A976 self-centers as it starts cutting, reducing the push force required and helping you avoid wandering on entry. The bright finish minimizes material adhesion to the cutting edge, reducing built-up edge and extending tool life in demanding workpieces.

• Parabolic flute design: optimized for deep-hole drilling in a single pass, improving chip evacuation and reducing clogging when drilling long through-holes.
• Premium HSS-E material: high-speed steel with enhanced wear resistance, enabling drilling of steel, aluminum, and stainless steel with reliable life and consistent hole quality.
• Extra Long length series: designed for applications requiring extended reach, from deep pocketing to through-holes in thick workpieces, while maintaining cutting performance and rigidity.
• DIN 1869 standard straight shank: ensures compatibility with standard drill chucks and fixtures, making it a drop-in choice for shop-floor and CNC setups.

Ideal for metalworkers, machine shops, and maintenance crews who routinely encounter deep drilling tasks or materials that wear conventional drills quickly. Use cases include automotive brackets, die-casting molds, and fabrication projects where a long-reach tool saves time and reduces setup changes. When other high-performance drills fail to produce clean holes in deep cavities, the Dormer Pramet A976 4.60 mm drill delivers dependable hole quality, centered start, and an efficient chip-flush path.

Pro tips: use a steady, moderate feed rate and cutting fluid to dissipate heat and extend edge life; for very deep holes, advance in staged passes to maintain accuracy and avoid deflection; ensure proper chuck alignment to maximize rigidity during the long-reach cut.
