Introducing the Dormer Pramet A952 20.00 mm HSS High Performance Multi-Application Morse Taper Shank Extra Long Series Drill DIN 1870. This long-reach drill is engineered for precision, durability, and versatility across multiple materials and machine setups.

130° point for clean starts — The 130-degree split point minimizes wandering and reduces push force, delivering self-centering performance on tough metals and easier entry in aluminum and stainless steel.

Bright finish for smoother cuts — The bright finish minimizes built-up edge and prevents workpiece material from sticking to the cutting edge, promoting consistent chip formation and longer tool life.

Parabolic flute design for deep-hole drilling — The uniquely shaped parabolic flute clears chips efficiently, enabling deeper holes in a single pass with reduced vibration and improved hole quality.

Premium HSS material — High-speed steel combines toughness and wear resistance, suitable for drilling a wide range of materials including steel, cast iron, aluminum, and stainless steel. Ideal for maintenance, fabrication, and production environments where one drill covers many tasks.

Morse taper shank, extra-long reach — Designed to be held directly in the spindle, this drill offers extended reach for deep holes and hard-to-reach work areas. The Morse taper shank ensures a secure, rigid connection and compatibility with standard drill presses and milling machines. DIN 1870 compliance means predictable interchangeability across compatible equipment.

Multi-application versatility — The A952 is built for multi-application use in machine tools where reliability and accuracy matter. It excels in drilling operations from through-holes to blind holes, and in workplaces that require one tool across metalworking tasks.

Who should use this drill? Metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, die/mold makers, and precision machinists who require a long-reach, robust drill that maintains center, reduces chatter, and delivers clean hole walls across steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. It’s especially valuable when depth is critical, and tool change time matters.

Tips for best results: start with proper workholding and alignment, use appropriate lubrication or coolant for metal drilling, and select a spindle with sufficient rigidity to maximize the benefits of the extra-long design. For deep-hole work, maintain steady feeds to leverage the parabolic flute’s chip clearance and avoid overheating the cutting edge.
