May the force cut with you

Cutting tool manufacturer Dormer Pramet will emphasise its growth ambitions for the coming years with more than 750 products on display at MACH 2018.

The company has built a comprehensive product program of both rotary and indexable drilling, milling, threading and turning tools for use in a wide variety of production environments.

John O’Donoghue, managing director of Dormer Pramet UK, comments: “Dormer has been a leading brand of HSS and solid carbide drills for over a century in the UK. During the last few years our range has expanded significantly. As the country’s premier event for our industry, MACH 2018 gives us an opportunity to highlight just how extensive our cutting tool offer now is.

“The Pramet indexable brand was absorbed into our programme in 2014 and is now an established part of our portfolio. When you factor in supplementary ranges introduced since then, including a full range of carbide burrs and tool holders, our portfolio is one of the widest – if not the widest – in the market. This is why our offer is especially attractive to engineering distributors as we can genuinely claim to be a one-stop-shop for metal cutting tools.”

Products from across the Dormer Pramet range will be showcased at MACH, each presented on ISO themed displays, making it quick and easy for visitors to identify relevant tools. Particular highlights include the Force X drilling and Force AD milling ranges.

The Force X family of solid carbide drills cover drilling depths from 3-8 x D in almost all engineering materials. All feature Continuously Thinned Web (CTW) technology which provides a very strong web design, reducing thrust requirements during drilling. This has the dual benefit of improving both performance and tool life.

In addition, the flagship product of its indexable range – the Force AD universal 90° milling cutter – will also feature, alongside a broad program of inserts offering improved stability in a wide range of applications.

Combining solid performance with the ability to support ramping, helical interpolation and plunging operations in multiple materials, the Force AD assortment is – like the Force X drills – ideally suited to general engineering and subcontract environments.
