Meet the Dormer Pramet A976 4.80 mm HSS-E High Perf Multi-App Straight Shank Extra Long Drill, engineered to master deep-hole drilling in metal. Built to the DIN 1869/1 standard, it combines a precise 130° point, a bright finish, and an advanced parabolic flute to deliver consistent starts, smooth cutting, and reliable reach in demanding applications.

• 130° point ensures quick self-centering and reduces the push force required to begin cutting, giving you cleaner holes and better control from the first turn.
• Bright finish minimizes material buildup on the cutting edge, helping to prevent sticking and maintain steady performance across materials.
• Parabolic flute (PFX) design is specifically optimized for drilling extra-deep holes in a single pass, boosting efficiency and reducing the need for pecking on long holes.
• Premium HSS-E material with cobalt content delivers higher hardness and heat resistance, making it suitable for drilling steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and other common metals.
• Extra long length series provides the reach you need for very deep holes or components with limited access, expanding your drilling possibilities without changing tools.
• Straight shank (DIN 1869/1) offers reliable compatibility with standard chucks and quick-tool changes, keeping your workflow smooth and predictable.

Who should reach for this drill? anyone tackling deep-hole work in metalworking, from automotive fixtures and machinery maintenance to fabrication and prototyping. The A976 excels when you need an all-in-one solution that handles multiple materials with consistent hole quality, without sacrificing reach or accuracy.

Practical tips for best results: maintain a steady feed and appropriate cutting speed, use a compatible coolant or lubricant to manage heat, and let the parabolic flute geometry do the heavy lifting on long holes. With its multi-app versatility, this drill reduces the need to switch tools mid-project and helps you complete deep-hole tasks with confidence.
