Meet the Dormer Pramet A940 16.00 mm HSS-E High-Performance Multi-Application Straight Shank Long Series Drill (DIN/ANSI). Built for demanding metalworking environments, this drill combines precision, durability, and versatility to deliver clean, accurate holes across a wide range of materials—from carbon steel to stainless steel and aluminum. If you’re looking for reliable depth and consistent results in a single pass, this is your go-to tool.

• 130-degree point for self-centering and lighter push force. The sharpened tip guides the drill right to the center of the hole, reducing wandering and improving first-pass accuracy.
• Bright finish minimizes built-up edge. Reduced material sticking at the cutting edge means smoother cutting action and less downtime for edge cleaning.
• Special parabolic flute design. Optimized chip evacuation and coolant flow enable deeper holes in one pass, cutting cycle time without sacrificing finish quality.
• Premium HSS-E material. A robust, wear-resistant composition suitable for drilling steel, aluminium, and stainless steel with reliable performance at higher speeds and feeds.
• Long series with a straight shank (DIN/ANSI). Designed for compatibility with a wide range of machine tools and drill chucks, delivering rigid, accurate results in extended reach applications.
• High-quality hole tolerance (H10). Consistent hole sizes and smooth bore finishes support precise assembly and downstream machining.

This multi-application drill excels in scenarios where you need one tool to handle diverse materials and a variety of hole depths without swapping bits. Ideal for general engineering, fabrication, automotive, and aerospace applications, the A940 drill reduces tool changes, boosts throughput, and helps you maintain tight tolerances in high-speed cutting environments.

Use cases include drilling through tough steels for structural components, fabricating frames, creating precise clearance holes for fasteners in aluminum assemblies, and producing stainless-steel fixtures where finish and dimensional accuracy matter. Whether you’re outfitting a CNC center, a high-speed turret, or a standard drill press, this drill’s combination of 130-degree point, parabolic flute, and HSS-E composition keeps you productive with dependable results.
