Dormer has launched a new generation of solid carbide multi-application drills to deliver a greater level of performance and economy.
Force X is the new family name given to our Dormer range of drills, which replaces the MPX assortment.
All existing product codes have been retained to ensure a smooth transition, but the incoming drills have received a significant upgrade, including new geometry, corner design, and edge preparation.
The improvements apply to the 3xD R457 and R458 and the 5xD R453 and R454, bringing them in-line with the newly launched 8xD R459.
Retaining their Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) coating, all drills continue to be suitable for use across a wide range of machines and materials, such as stainless steel, alloy steels, cast iron and non-ferrous materials. This makes the Force X range an ideal choice for general engineering and sub-contract environments.
As part of the enhancements, each of the Force X drills now includes Continuously Thinned The Web (CTW) technology, which provides a very strong web design, reducing thrust requirements during drilling.
They all feature a consistent edge preparation, protecting the cutting area and preventing premature chipping and flaking. A strong corner design across the range also increases stability and reduces the forces encountered when exiting the workpiece.
The micro grain carbide substrate, along with the TiAlN coating, offers high wear resistance and increased tool life, while the 140° split point geometry provides precise centering capabilities and low thrust forces.
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.
