Dormer Pramet's new solid carbide MP-X drill

Dormer Pramet MPX R459 Solid Carbide Drill

Building on the technology of the high performance solid carbide MP-X 3xD and 5xD drills, Dormer Pramet's new coolant through 8xD drill reduces machining time for operators by eliminating the pecking process.

Suitable for machining a variety of materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, copper and aluminium, the MP-X 8xD (R459) has been specifically developed to overcome problems typically associated with deep-hole drilling.

With fast and efficient chip evacuation, the MP-X 8xD aligns with the Dormer Pramet range of cutting tools by reducing the cost-per-hole and increasing overall throughput for users.

The microgram carbide material provides a combination of hardness and toughness, resulting in high wear resistance and longer tool life. With multi-layer Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAIN-Top) coating, the Dormer MP-X drill delivers improved stability to the cutting edges, outstanding wear protection, high hardness/toughness and oxidation stability.

The CTW (Continually Thinned Web) flute geometry optimizes flute volume and breaks the chips into small, manageable pieces to ensure efficient chip evacuation in deep hold applications, reducing machine downtime.

CTW ensures consistent forces throughout the drilling cycle. The combination of the split four facet point and the CTW flute delivers precise centering and low thrust forces.
