A strong corner design across the range also increases stability and reduces the forces encountered when exiting the workpiece.<\/p>\n<p>The micrograin carbide substrate, along with the TiAlN coating, offers high wear resistance and increased tool life, while the 140\u00b0\u00a0split point geometry provides precise centering capabilities and low thrust forces.<\/p>\n<p>Offering both solid and coolant feed options to improve cutting efficiency and swarf evacuation, the new Force X range offers high productivity and improved performance.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Dormer Pramet has launched new solid carbide spotting drills and pre-tapping drills.<\/p>\n<p>Developed for fast and accurate spotting, the R6011 drill can be used in hydraulic and shrink fit\u00a0holders when machining a range of\u00a0work-piece materials. It offers 90\u00b0\u00a0self-centering point geometry and TiAlN coating for increased tool life.<\/p>\n<p>Providing a drill and chamfer in one, the R7131 reduces tool-cycle time and inventory.
