Meet the Dormer Pramet A976 5.10 mm HSS-E High Performance Multi-Application Straight Shank Extra Long Drill (DIN 1869 / 1). Engineered for precision, longevity, and reach, this drill handles demanding metalworking tasks with clean, accurate holes and impressive depth in a single pass.

• 130-degree point for self-centering entry and reduced push force, helping you start holes with confidence and minimal wandering.
• Bright finish minimizes material from sticking to the cutting edge, resulting in smoother drilling and easier chip evacuation.
• Parabolic flute design tailored to drilling very deep holes in a single pass, reducing dwell time and increasing productivity on long bores.
• Premium HSS-E material delivers robust performance across a range of metals, including steel, aluminium, and stainless steel, with improved wear resistance and longer tool life.
• Extra long length series provides extended reach for deep cavities, blind holes, and applications where clearance or accessibility is limited.
• Straight shank ensures compatibility with common drill chucks and holders, delivering true alignment and reliable grip during demanding operations.
• DIN 1869 / 1 compliance means consistent geometry and interchangeability in professional machining environments.

Ideal for automotive fabrication, aerospace components, machinery maintenance, and general metalworking, the A976 drill shines whenever you need to bore deep holes without swapping tools. It excels in engine blocks, fixtures, and assemblies where reach matters as much as accuracy.

How to get the best results: use appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for the material, apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend tool life, and steadily advance the drill to maintain the 130-degree point’s self-centering action. For deep holes, periodically withdraw the drill to clear chips and prevent clogging, ensuring a clean bore finish with every pass.

With its combination of self-centering geometry, wear-resistant HSS-E, and extended reach, this drill redefines efficiency in multi-application, long-reach drilling tasks. When you need one tool to cover steel, aluminium, and stainless steel applications while delivering depth and precision, the Dormer Pramet A976 is the proven choice.
