Suitable for drilling thin sheet steel and panels, the A123 range features a 120\u00b0 point geometry with a short flute to provide easy penetration and rigidity in portable applications.<\/p>\n<p>No body clearance further increases stability during drilling and breakthrough to give superior hole quality.<\/p>\n<p>Its thin web at the point provides excellent self-centering properties, while its steam tempered surface improves performance and reduces the chance of built-up edge. A double ended version (A119) is also available.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the launch, several new sets have been added. This includes a &#8216;compact drill&#8217; set (A087) featuring 19 popular sizes of its TiN coated A002 jobber drill for general purpose drilling, as well as a 19 and 25 piece set containing the A108 HSS quick spiral jobber drill for stainless steel (A188).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, to complement its existing range of center drills, Dormer Pramet has introduced several new designs to further expand the applications covered.<\/p>\n<p>These include a HSS-E range of center drills for tougher materials and environments, a flatted shank version for improved clamping, a long series option for increased reach and a line of solid carbide center drills for hard and abrasive materials.<\/p>\n<p>The new Dormer assortment has been manufactured with a flatted shank for use in custom centering heads specifically to support machining the ends of shafts.
