Dormer Pramet Solid Carbide Drills Enhance Precision, Durability, and Drilling Productivity!
Dormer Pramet has strengthened its holemaking portfolio with its high-performance Force range of solid carbide drills, engineered to deliver improved precision, durability, and process reliability across a wide variety of materials and machining applications. Designed for manufacturers operating in demanding production environments, the Force drill family combines advanced geometries, optimized coatings, and application-specific designs to support higher productivity and longer tool life.
The Force solid carbide drills are developed to perform consistently under challenging conditions, helping shops achieve stable drilling processes with reduced downtime and predictable results. By focusing on accuracy, chip control, and wear resistance, Dormer Pramet aims to address common drilling challenges such as premature tool wear, poor hole quality, and limited process security—particularly when machining tougher materials or operating at higher cutting parameters.
At the core of the lineup is the Force X Generation 2 drill, which is designed for versatile, high-performance drilling across ISO P, M, and K materials. Available in both through-coolant and solid versions, the drill supports a range of drilling depths while maintaining stable cutting conditions. Its advanced flute geometry enhances chip evacuation, while a TiAlN-top coating improves heat resistance and wear protection. These features allow manufacturers to run higher cutting speeds and feeds while maintaining accuracy and surface quality.
For applications requiring extremely small diameters and high precision, the Force Micro drill range delivers reliable performance in diameters from 0.7 mm to 2.95 mm. These drills are engineered for smooth, high-speed operation, making them suitable for industries such as medical devices, electronics, and precision engineering. The geometry and coating combination is optimized to minimize vibration and tool deflection, ensuring accurate hole positioning and extended tool life even at micro-scale dimensions.
Completing the range is the Force Deep Hole drill series, developed for applications requiring drilling depths of up to 20 × D. These drills focus on maintaining positional accuracy and process stability in deep-hole operations, where chip evacuation and thermal control are critical. Internal coolant channels support efficient chip removal, while the Nano-Tip multilayer coating enhances thermal stability and wear resistance. This combination helps reduce heat buildup, improve tool life, and maintain consistent hole quality over long production runs.
Across the entire Force range, Dormer Pramet emphasizes process security and productivity, enabling manufacturers to reduce tool changes, lower scrap rates, and improve overall machining efficiency. The drills are suitable for a broad spectrum of materials and applications, making them a practical choice for both high-mix and high-volume production environments.
With the Force X Generation 2, Force Micro, and Force Deep Hole drills, Dormer Pramet continues to support modern manufacturing needs by delivering robust, precise, and durable solid carbide drilling solutions that help manufacturers push productivity while maintaining consistent quality and reliability.
