Dormer Pramet launches new products to strengthen turning and milling performance
Dormer Pramet is expanding its cutting tool portfolio with the launch of new high-performance turning and milling solutions. These new tooling products have been designed to increase productivity and optimize performance, delivering exceptional stability and consistent productivity, plus the durability needed to overcome challenges and exceed expectations in demanding machining environments.
Developed to support manufacturers working with steel, stainless steel and cast iron, the new products combine advanced coating technology, optimized geometries and cost-efficient insert design.
New Turning Products
T9425 Grade: the new T9425 turning grade combines a functional gradient substrate with advanced MT-CVD coating to deliver outstanding wear resistance and consistent performance in steel and stainless-steel applications. A textured α-Al2O3 layer, post-treatment stability and gold TiN-coated flanks for easy wear detection ensure longer tool life and reduced downtime, even in demanding conditions.
T5405 Grade: the new T5405 CVD turning grade is engineered for high-productivity machining of gray cast iron, delivering extended tool life and reliable performance at high cutting speeds. Its advanced coating and precision-ground seating face ensure superior wear resistance, heat stability and consistent results in stable cutting conditions.
ML Chipbreaker: the new ML chipbreaker is designed for medium steel applications, delivering precise chip control and smooth, stable performance at low depths of cut and medium to high feeds. Paired with T9425 or T9415 grades, it ensures reliable productivity and consistent results in demanding automotive, bearing and general engineering environments.
G8415 Grade: the new G8415 grade combines a next-generation multi-layer PVD coating with a TiBN sliding top layer to deliver reliable wear resistance and stable performance across steels, stainless steel, cast iron and hardened materials. Designed for parting-off, grooving and profiling, it ensures smooth chip flow, extended tool life and consistent results in demanding applications.
New Solid Carbide Endmill Products
S9xx Expanded Solid Carbide End Mill Range: the expanded S9xx solid carbide end mill range adds 204 new square and corner radius cutters in metric, inch sizes and different flute lengths, delivering precise, durable performance across steel, stainless steel and cast-iron applications. With TiAlN coating and optimized flute geometry, it ensures extended tool life, process reliability and excellent value in demanding milling operations.
Force drilling solutions
The drilling additions include Force X Generation 2 solid carbide drills for reliable performance in ISO P, M and K materials, Force Micro Drills for high-precision micro applications from 0.7–2.95 mm, and Force Deep Hole Drills (DHD) engineered for drilling up to 20xD with efficient chip evacuation and strong positional accuracy.
PSC holders
Polygon Shank Coupling holders providing a modular and economical solution for external radial turning. Compatible with existing BS blades and designed for right- or left-hand assembly, increasing versatility without additional blade investment.
S holders
New ISO S holders for internal turning operations, featuring integrated coolant supply for stable tool life. Extended lengths support deep-hole machining and hard-to-reach internal geometries. Selected previous tool types will be discontinued with this introduction.
Brian Davis, Vice President of PM and R&D, said:
“These new turning and solid end milling products reflect our continued focus on performance, reliability and practical innovation. By combining advanced materials with intelligent design, we are helping manufacturers machine with greater confidence and control.”
The new products are available globally through Dormer Pramet sales representatives and authorized distributors.
