When you need to reach deep into tough materials without sacrificing precision, the Dormer Pramet A976 10.50 mm HSS-E High Performance Multi-Application Straight Shank Extra Long Drill is engineered to perform. Built for reliability in demanding fabrication environments, this drill combines depth, control, and versatility in a single, trusted tool.

• 130-degree point provides self-centering start and dramatically reduces push force, delivering cleaner entry and steadier hole alignment.
• Bright finish helps prevent workpiece material from sticking to the cutting edge, promoting smoother drilling and easier chip shedding.
• Parabolic flute design enables efficient chip evacuation and enables drilling very deep holes in a single pass, minimizing tool changes and increasing throughput.
• Premium HSS-E material offers exceptional wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for drilling a wide range of materials—from steel and stainless steel to aluminium.
• Extra-long length series provides the extended reach needed for deep cavities, blind holes, and assemblies where tool access is constrained.
• DIN 1869 / 1 compliant with a precise 10.50 mm diameter ensures compatibility with standard holders and setups for smooth integration into existing workflows.

This multi-application drill shines in professional workshops and production environments—from automotive assemblies and fabrication shops to general engineering tasks—where deep, accurate holes are essential. The A976 series balances aggressive material removal with durable construction, letting you extend tool life and maintain job consistency across materials like steel, aluminium, and stainless steel.

Practical tips for best results:

• Pair with appropriate cutting fluid to maximize life and performance on steel and stainless steel.
• Set spindle speed and feed rate to material type and hole depth; start conservative and adjust based on chip formation.
• Use a controlled pecking routine when drilling deep holes to clear chips and prevent clogging or workpiece re-welding at the cut.
• Secure the workpiece firmly to minimize deflection; ensure proper tool alignment for true starts and accurate hole geometry.
